To Kill Achilles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Both in the physical sense and my mental health
See I struggle coping with a fear
A fear of death
I shake, my eyes well
I'm not scared of heaven, not scared of hell
I'm just terrified of not being here
There's times I feel like ending it all
Just to give myself a rest
From being so stuck in my head
I'm so stuck in my head
What I wouldn't give
To lay in my bed
And not just dream about my death
This fear is not irrational
You see when I was just a boy
I seen my father die in front of my eyes
And as I get older
I'm starting to feel
Like if it happened to him it could happen to me
There's no day without the night
There's no dark without the light
There's no life without death
We all take one last breath
This feeble heart inside our chests
Will stop beating and put us to rest
There's no day without the night
There's no dark without the light
There's no life without death
We all take one last breath
This feeble heart inside our chests
Will stop beating and put us all to rest
So let me ask you what's worse
To live in fear from the bite of the snake
Or to present your hand
Watch its fangs pierce your skin
And know in that moment
That you'll never be scared again
I guess I'll never be scared again
To Kill Achilles's song "Venom" explores the fear of death and the struggle to cope with it. The lyrics depict the singer as a weak and vulnerable individual, both physically and mentally. He reveals that he has seen his father die in front of his eyes, which has traumatized him and made him fear his own mortality. This fear is not irrational, and he recognizes that death is an inevitable part of life that we all must face. However, this realization doesn't make it any easier for him to cope with his fear.
The singer also admits to having suicidal thoughts at times, not because he wants to die, but because he wants to escape the constant fear and anxiety that he experiences. He wishes he could just lay in his bed and not have to think about death. The song ends with a thought-provoking question: what's worse, living in constant fear of death or facing it head-on and accepting it as a part of life? The singer seems to suggest that facing death may be the key to overcoming the fear of it.
Overall, "Venom" is a poignant and introspective song that explores a universal fear that we all must confront at some point in our lives. The vulnerability and honesty in the lyrics make it a relatable and powerful message for listeners.

I'm not a strong man
I'm physically and mentally weak
Both in the physical sense and my mental health
I lack strength both physically and mentally
See I struggle coping with a fear
I have difficulty handling my fear
A fear of death
I am afraid of dying
I shake, my eyes well
I tremble and tear up
I'm not scared of heaven, not scared of hell
I'm not afraid of religious concepts of afterlife
I'm just terrified of not being here
I am scared of not being on this earth
Now I know this sounds messed up but
Although it may seem strange
There's times I feel like ending it all
There are moments when I want to commit suicide
Just to give myself a rest
To take a break from the constant thinking
From being so stuck in my head
Being trapped in my own thoughts
I'm so stuck in my head
I'm always overthinking
What I wouldn't give
I'd do anything
To lay in my bed
To relax in my bed
And not just dream about my death
Without having nightmares about my death
This fear is not irrational
My fear is valid
You see when I was just a boy
When I was a child
I seen my father die in front of my eyes
I saw my father die right in front of me
And as I get older
As I age
I'm starting to feel
I'm beginning to sense
Like if it happened to him it could happen to me
That his death could happen to me too
There's no day without the night
Day can't exist without night
There's no dark without the light
Light can't exist without darkness
There's no life without death
Death is a natural part of life
We all take one last breath
We all have one final breath before death
This feeble heart inside our chests
Our weak hearts inside our bodies
Will stop beating and put us to rest
Will cease to function leading to our death
So let me ask you what's worse
What do you think is worse?
To live in fear from the bite of the snake
To live in constant fear of danger
Or to present your hand
Or to face your fear and confront it
Watch its fangs pierce your skin
Experience pain
And know in that moment
And understand at that time
That you'll never be scared again
You'll no longer have that fear anymore
I guess I'll never be scared again
I assume I'll no longer be afraid of death after experiencing it'
