Deception
Strommoussheld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a picturesque quarantine
This abandoned paradise

The sounds, the scars, the strarts and the ends
This is deception...
The forms the shapes, the colours and I
The rules, the plans are stereothypes
The dreams, the dramas, imagine and cry
This is deception...
Glasses full of angels' lies
Play this sad melody
Growing chaos, silhouette of coming...
Deception
The forms the shapes, the colours and I
The rules, the plans are stereothypes
The sounds, the scars, the strarts and the ends
This is deception...
The forms the shapes, the colours and I
The rules, the plans are stereothypes
The dreams, the dramas, imagine and cry
This is deception...
This has never been my world
Never...
"Deception" by Strommoussheld is a song that takes us to a world of pain and despair. The opening lines of the song, "Angels are crying/In a picturesque quarantine/This abandoned paradise/Is now in a cold sweet sleep" conveys the idea that the world is in a state of absolute chaos, and angels are shedding tears because of the destruction caused by humans. The world is now an abandoned paradise, and the sleep that the world is in is cold and sweet, which represents a world that is emotionally distant and out of touch with reality. The song's theme is about the destruction of hope and the pain that is pervasive in the world right now.
Line by Line Meaning
Angels are crying
The situation is so terrible that angels themselves are crying in sorrow.
In a picturesque quarantine
The setting may be attractive, but the self-isolation makes it painfully tragic.
This abandoned paradise
The once-beautiful world is now deserted, sad, and broken beyond repair.
Is now in a cold sweet sleep
The world's peace and quiet, although seemingly pleasant, are ruined by the underlying cold, eerie feeling.
Welcome to this dirty land
Be prepared to enter the grime and depravity that reside in this place.
Where hope is under the anxiety's fog
Optimism is obscured by the surrounding stress and unease.
Calmness is included in a perverse spirit
Even though there's some tranquility here, the environment's sense of wickedness overshadows it.
Mineral curse - without uniforms
A place where the inanimate objects hold an evil power, with no definitive shape or form to help understand its nature.
D. Espair was barn in the
D. Espair was born into a world that
E. Xtravagant being which was

which is currently closed, stagnant and lifeless.

pantomime.

tormenting fusion.
I. Am reserved to penetrate these plains
I am destined to explore these lands.

N. On-existant
non-existent.
The forms the shapes, the colours and I
Everything I see around me - the shapes, sizes, hues - and I myself
The rules, the plans are stereothypes
are all behaving like robotic, stale cliches.
The sounds, the scars, the strarts and the ends
The noises, the wounds, the beginnings and finishes -
This is deception...
It's all just deception, lies and illusions.
The dreams, the dramas, imagine and cry
My aspirations, struggles, fantasies and grief
Glasses full of angels' lies
People are deceiving themselves by believing in false hopes, which are as tangible as a glass of non-existent angel tears.
Play this sad melody
This sorrowful song is our reality.
Growing chaos, silhouette of coming...
The expanding disorder is just a hint of the ominous things yet to come.
This has never been my world
This hasn't ever felt like a world that belongs to me.
