DEAD END
Surgical Dissection Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Distant voices, distant mind
Too far away for my understanding
Abrupt reason of existence
Damned lack of communication

Cry, if you wish, cry or shout
Answer undistinguished by infinity
No response at all

Thank you for your interest

Turn your head to the other side
Try to aim another target
Realize the wall around you
There is no way to escape

Mind catcher broke your will
Is your life real?

Still waiting for some signal
Time has no significance

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Surgical Dissection’s song Dead End convey a sense of disconnection and isolation, as the singer grapples with the feeling that he cannot connect with the voices and minds around him. The opening lines set the scene, painting a picture of far-off voices and a distant mind that is beyond the singer’s understanding. The abrupt reason for existence and lack of communication further emphasize the sense of distance and separation.

The chorus of the song provides a moment of release as the singer urges the voices to cry or shout, but the response is undistinguished by infinity, indicating that there is no meaningful communication happening. The lack of response is thanked, perhaps ironically suggesting that it is easier to cope with silence than to try and make a connection with distant people.

The middle verses return to the theme of disconnection, with the singer encouraged to turn his head to aim for another target and realize the wall around him. The mind catcher has broken his will, leaving him questioning whether his life is real. The final lines suggest a sense of timelessness and waiting for some signal that may never come, reinforcing the overall feeling of a dead end.
