Human Debris
The Haunted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pray for me. Pray for my soul beyond redemption.
Pray for my piss-soaked heart, for the hands that
mould my life so shallow.

So shallow
Painted, smiling face
So hollow
Self inflicted pain
Noisome life come cut me and bleed me dry.

Rape me. Rape my mind. Rape what's left of me.
Repulsive abuse yet filled with such desire.

Desire
Painted, smiling face
Such desire

Now watch me fall from grace.
Gagged, violated, forgotten.
Now watch me fall from grace.
My psyche ripped and torn.

Infested, my soul burns.
Abandoned, my mind churns.




Human debris, twitching violently.
I carry hate in every vein, my psyche ripped and torn.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Haunted's song "Human Debris" are dark and disturbing, depicting a person who is deeply troubled and in need of help. The opening line, "Pray for me. Pray for my soul beyond redemption," suggests a sense of hopelessness and despair that permeates throughout the song. The singer is asking for spiritual help, but also acknowledges that they are beyond redemption - they have done something so terrible that they cannot be forgiven.


The second line, "Pray for my piss-soaked heart, for the hands that mould my life so shallow," implies that the singer's heart is filled with filth and that they are unable to control their own destiny. They feel as though their life is being shaped by outside forces, and that they have no agency in their own existence. The lyrics then shift to describe the singer's pain and suffering, both physical and psychological, as they beg to be raped and violated.


The chorus uses repetition, with the line "painted, smiling face, so hollow" emphasizing the facade that the singer is putting up for the world. Despite their pain and desperation, they are still trying to present a happy front to the world, when inside they are falling apart. The song ends with the singer being abandoned and forgotten, as they become human debris, twitching violently with hate and despair.
