The Abyss
To the Rats and Wolves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heavy artillery, soldiers get decimated
My God like Actions leaves your Children Empty plated
I don't have the heart so my duality is painless, I disintegrate your part my mission is stated
I'm standing like a Jesus Christ statue never got moved, you stand like browser history Instantly removed
Strike like a bad needle get the vinyl grooved, your not raw, the council papers just stated Mildy abused
Bitches begging for your nudes, while I got gas masks against the fumes
The people on respond, won't be the people on the News, leave you the seperated cause of family feuds

This is signed by the devil
On the very next level
Are you going to be leveled
Yeah you make my fucking head hurt
I'm lighter than the feathers
I feel like I could never
Make choices like this ever
To lose track of my sight
To lose track of my mind
What's the day, what's the time
What's the month, do I mind

Do I mind, are you blind
Yeah I sigh, I'm not kind
Family feud, you're so rude
I'm that guy, I'm that dude
That you find, share your nudes
Share your life or you die
Make me wait that ain't fine
Feel at home fuck the lines
I don't smoke, do you mind
I've been high all this time
I'm the strange of this world
Yeah my head is a blur
Yeah my head paranoid
Plan away every day
Fade away when there's change
I'm not fine may I say

This is signed by the devil
On the very next level
Are you going to be leveled
Yeah you make my fucking head hurt
I'm lighter than the feathers
I feel like I could never
Make choices like this ever
To lose track of my sight
To lose track of my mind

What's the day, what's the time
What's the month, do I mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "The Abyss" by To the Rats and Wolves are filled with allusions to violence and destruction, as the opening lines suggest with the reference to heavy artillery and soldiers being decimated. The singer, who appears to be relishing their power and control, describes their ability to leave the children of others empty and their mission to disintegrate those who get in their way. They compare themselves to a statue of Jesus Christ, unmovable and imposing, while those who oppose them are instantly removed like a deleted internet history. The singer boasts of being raw and untamed, unlike those who are "mildly abused," and of wearing gas masks to protect themselves from toxic environments. They predictably dismiss the potential consequences of their actions, suggesting that the people who respond won't be the ones who end up on the news, while the family feuds they create will divide their enemies.

The second verse shifts to a more introspective tone, with the singer acknowledging the toll that their behavior has taken on their psyche. They describe feeling like they have lost track of time and reality, and struggling to make choices that align with their values. They acknowledge feeling paranoid and out of control, with thoughts getting blurrier and more difficult to manage. Despite their confidence from the first verse, the singer now appears to be questioning their own sanity and decisions, asking whether they are "blind" and expressing frustration with their own lack of kindness. The repeated refrain, "This is signed by the devil / On the very next level / Are you going to be leveled / Yeah you make my fucking head hurt," reinforces the idea that the singer is both powerful and unstable, and suggests a deep sense of pain and discomfort that they are seeking to control through their actions.
