Burial
Slowmotion Apocalypse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like fading darkness
My hell of fears awakens me suddenly
Sometimes I think
Filling this emptiness with anger is the key
I cannot wait
The time has come and there's no way back
Not for me

No future plans
No filthy promises of glory
For those who try to see
The shape of things
Will change if put under a new light
My new reality

Welcome to my burial
Welcome to my insanity

The lyrics open up with the line, "Like fading darkness, my hell of fears awakens me suddenly," which portrays a sense of gloominess and despair. The singer seems to be trapped in his own thoughts and believes that fills the emptiness with anger could be the solution.

The line, "No future plans, no filthy promises of glory for those who try to see," demonstrates the hopelessness and feeling of lost direction, while "the shape of things will change if put under a new light, my new reality" reflects a change of perspective, change of theme or attitude, that the singer might have encountered.
