Scars
The Forsaken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you have forsaken me, left me to die
Dedicated my life in vain
Downtrodden and forced to the utter darkness
Divinity is just a utopia
You have dethroned me from my dominion
Woven with the strings that choke
Beyond possessed thoughts
Approach the gate to your kingdom
The transformation is complete
You've made me a heretic
This life of mine will end in despair
All the blood on my hands
Chorus:
Feed my demon
Randomized, burned by lies
Fear my demon
Randomized, buried life, sodomy
Feed my demon
Randomized, burned by lies
Feed my demon
Behold all my mist and might
Guardian with a scourge
Arrival of blight and hearse
Silence will redeem my soul
Behold all my mist and might
Guardian with a scourge
Arrival of blight and hearse
Silence will redeem my soul
Allegiance and covenant I have no scorn
I will see my dawn calling wrath and blood
I will abase you – obey my lust and rage
Impaled by my prophecy
With my malice I will engulf you whole
(Chorus)
The first few lines of the song, "You've led me towards temptation, guided me the way. Now you have forsaken me, left me to die," describes the betrayal of someone who was once trusted, only to be left alone in a dark and dangerous world. The lyrics speak of dedication in vain and being forced into utter darkness, with the idea of divinity being nothing but a false hope. The mention of being dethroned from one's dominion could represent losing power or control over one's own life, perhaps due to the actions of another.
The verse "Chanting my final song of doom, Beyond possessed thoughts, Approach the gate to your kingdom, The transformation is complete" seems to describe the singer's descent into darkness, as they prepare to face the consequences of their own actions. The mention of being made a heretic could represent feeling like an outcast, or being rejected by others due to their beliefs or behavior. The chorus, with the repeated phrase "Feed my demon," could represent the idea of embracing one's own darkness, rather than trying to suppress or hide it. In this sense, the demon is not an external force, but rather an internal one that one must learn to accept and even feed in order to survive.
Overall, the lyrics of Scars seem to explore themes of betrayal, darkness, and the idea of embracing one's own inner demons. The song encourages listeners to confront their own fears and accept their own imperfections, rather than trying to hide them or deny them.
