Deathmental
Soap&Skin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cede to wash the knife
And thy lust wants my hash life
Hell won’t tolerate hymns

You once seemed to love
The tumbling of infarction
The oddments of destruction
The effort to stay
A blackmail decay

Life lays in your heart like in a coffin
Stop faking suffering like a child
Bonds of silk and vows of lead weight
In rotten milk, this was your feast plate

 ??? what time to come
Now all your veins burst
All fears and wrongs
Hell won’t tolerate hymns
You once seemed to love
The tumbling of infarction
The oddments of destruction
The effort to stay
A blackmail decay

Life lays in your heart like in a coffin
Stop faking suffering like a child




Bonds of silk and vows of lead weight
In rotten milk, this was your feast plate

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soap&Skin's "Deathmental" are dark and haunting, and seem to be about someone who is struggling with their own mortality and their place in the world. The first two lines, "Cede to wash the knife / And thy lust wants my hash life," suggest that someone is trying to kill the singer, and their desire for death is infecting the singer as well. The line "Hell won’t tolerate hymns" seems to suggest that the singer is afraid of the afterlife, or that they believe they will be punished for something they've done.


The second verse, "You once seemed to love / The tumbling of infarction / The oddments of destruction / The effort to stay / A blackmail decay," is more abstract, but seems to be about the person who is trying to kill the singer. The "tumbling of infarction" could refer to a heart attack, and the "oddments of destruction" could be the remnants of the person's life. The last two lines suggest that the person is holding on to their life even though they are suffering, perhaps out of a sense of duty or guilt.


The chorus repeats the same lines, "Life lays in your heart like in a coffin / Stop faking suffering like a child / Bonds of silk and vows of lead weight / In rotten milk, this was your feast plate," which seem to be about someone who is pretending to suffer, or who is hiding their true feelings. The "bonds of silk and vows of lead weight" could be a metaphor for something that seems light but is actually heavy, like a burden that the person is carrying. The last line, "In rotten milk, this was your feast plate," is perhaps the most disturbing, suggesting that the person has been living on something disgusting or poisonous.


Overall, "Deathmental" is a bleak and disturbing song that is open to interpretation. It seems to be about someone who is struggling with their own mortality and their place in the world, and who is perhaps trying to escape from their pain through death.
