(pronounced: "terminaytrix")
Female-fronted Industrial-Metal: a new breed of South African music
TERMINATRYX is an evolving entity and its philosophy partially comprises the following:
It is compelled to create music with which they can identify, even if it is not generally accepted by the wider community. Its inherent intensity is a natural one created by their perception of the world around them. It tackles issues without being preachy. It kicks hard without drowning the key purpose in sheer volume. It utilizes technology without being overtaken by it or losing its humanity and organic essence. It contains catchy elements without attempts to scam listeners into a blatant commercial trap. It exudes a confident sexuality and sense of empowerment as part & parcel, not a mere overblown selling point...
Taking the above mentioned into account and the fact that TERMINATRYX takes both subjective and objective standpoints, it is everything but neutral.
A paradox? Perhaps...
An enigma? Maybe...
A phenomenon? By far…
You be the judge.

Scars
Terminatryx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the memories fade
Let the trauma divide
The price that you paid
Blades and fire - Bullets and wire
Broken glass - Etched remnants from your past
Are so much harder to hide
Than the ones within
The marks on your soul
Multiply inside
Lose your grip and your hold
Physical torture - Mental abuse
Self-mutilation - War wounds you did not choose
Don't lose control
Hold on, hold on
The scars on your skin
Are so much harder to hide
Than the ones within
The stars will begin
To align in your eyes
Just as all hope dies
Torn to pieces, accidental
Fists and nails, boots and teeth
Compassion failed, not incidental
Degrading words, bring you to your knees
Sadistic - Masochistic
By another's hand - Or your own
Don't lose control
Hold on, move on
The damage may be healed,
But the memories, can still remain
Each nerve ending and emotion feels
But you can rise, above the pain
Let the pain subside
And the memories fade
Let the trauma divide
The price that you paid
The song "Scars" by Terminatryx is a powerful and emotional song that addresses the scars people bear both on their skin and within their souls. The song begins with the plea to let the pain subside and memories fade. The lyrics then address the different forms of torture and abuse that can cause scars, such as blades and fire, bullets and wire, self-mutilation and war wounds. The scars on the skin are harder to hide than those within, and the marks on the soul multiply inside. The chorus pleads not to lose control, to hold on and move on. The song speaks to the fact that the damage may heal, but the memories can still remain and each nerve ending and emotion feels. The song ends with the plea again to let the pain subside and the memories fade.
Line by Line Meaning
Let the pain subside
Allow the excruciating sensation to fade away
And the memories fade
Let the recollection slowly disappear
Let the trauma divide
Let the traumatic experience separate you from your current state
The price that you paid
The cost of what you experienced
Blades and fire - Bullets and wire
Represents violence in different forms
Broken glass - Etched remnants from your past
Physical and emotional marks left by past experiences
The scars on your skin
The physical marks left on your skin
Are so much harder to hide
Are more difficult to keep out of sight
Than the ones within
Than the inner emotional scars
The marks on your soul
The emotional or psychological imprints left on you
Multiply inside
They keep growing within you
Lose your grip and your hold
To lose control and be unable to manage your emotions
Physical torture - Mental abuse
Different forms of abuse
Self-mutilation - War wounds you did not choose
Marks on your body inflicted by you or by circumstances of war
Don't lose control
Do not allow yourself to lose the ability to manage your emotions
Hold on, hold on
Endure the pain and hold onto life
The stars will begin
Hope will emerge
To align in your eyes
Your outlook on life will change for the better
Just as all hope dies
Hope will emerge at the most unexpected moment
Torn to pieces, accidental
Being physically and mentally destroyed due to unintentional circumstances
Fists and nails, boots, and teeth
Different forms of physical violence
Compassion failed, not incidental
Being unsupported by others, and it wasn't a coincidence
Degrading words, bring you to your knees
Being weakened with offensive language
Sadistic - Masochistic
Two types of people involved in violent acts
By another's hand - Or your own
The violence may come from others or from yourself
Hold on, move on
Endure the pain, but keep moving forward
The damage may be healed,
Physical injuries could be cured,
But the memories can still remain
Despite the physical recovery, the memories may linger
Each nerve ending and emotion feels
Each feeling, both mental and physical, is sensed
But you can rise, above the pain
You have the strength to overcome the pain
