Abracadavre
Treyarch Sound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can fly like a bird not in the sky
Which can always swim and always dry
I say goodbye at night and morning, "Hi!"
I'm part of you, what am I?
I follow and lead as you pass
Dress yourself in black, my darkness lasts
I flee the light, but without the sun
Your view of me would be gone

I, can see the damage that I
Am causing you is so benign
You want me to be gone
But I have just begun!
I am the only one "undone"
I'm a broken miracle now!
(In your head)

I don't feel, like I am real
But I know it's all imaginary
Are they real, and do they feel?
Is all the pain just inside my head?

I am what men love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What dead men have and rich require
I'm what contented men desire

You want me to be gone
But I have just begun!
You will never know how far I've come!
What goes up must never come back down!
(In your head)

I don't feel, like I am real
But I know it's all imaginary
Are they real, and do they feel?
Is all the pain just inside my head?

It's all inside my head
It's just inside my, it's all inside my
They're all inside my
I see them always but they're all inside my head
All inside my head
They're all inside my head

It's killing me, to see I'm killing you
Death is magic, say "Abracadavre" now
You see me now you don't cry when I am gone

These shackles they come
With certain opportunities
They won't let me get away
But they show me we're the same
We're the same, we're the same
They show me that we are the same
I can't give in, I won't give in
It's not a state of mind
I'm wretched but I'm powerful and

I don't feel, like I am real
But I know it's all imaginary
Are they real, and do they feel?
Is all the pain just inside my head?

It's all inside my head
It's just inside my, it's all inside my
They're all inside my
I see them always but they're all inside my head




All inside my head
They're all inside my head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Treyarch Sound's song Abracadavre describe a complex and abstract concept that is difficult to fully comprehend. The lyrics seem to allude to the idea of a dark force or energy that is within a person, and that this force can both lead and follow them. The lyrics also describe this force as being both a part of the person and separate from them, as well as something that can be both harmful and desired. This force represents a personal struggle within the individual and is a source of pain and confusion for them. The line "Death is magic, say 'Abracadavre' now" suggests the inevitability of death and the power it holds over the individual.


The verses also explore the idea of reality and how it is perceived by the individual. The lyrics repeatedly question whether the pain experienced is real or only exists inside the individual's head. The chorus brings in the idea of the force being inside the individual's head, and suggests that the force is a product of their imagination. The repetition of the line "They're all inside my head" highlights the idea that the individual's reality is based on their own perceptions and thoughts.


Overall, the lyrics of Abracadavre are highly metaphorical and open to interpretation. They touch on themes of personal struggle, the nature of reality, and the inevitability of death. The song encourages self-reflection and asks listeners to consider their own internal struggles and how they perceive the world around them.

I love you guys.

You.


Every single one of you that picked me up, raygun or not.
Everyone who stopped the monkeys from stealing jug and quick revive.
Everyone that tried to clutch save and died along the way.


We may never know each other's names, we may never know each other's fates, but we know that we all played the best games.

Semper Fi.



@josejalaeno73

The answer to each riddle is, respectively:

A shadow
โ€œDress yourself in black, my darkness lasts; I flee the light, but without the sun, your view of me would be gone.โ€

Nothing
โ€œI am what men love more than life, fear more than death or mortal strife; what dead men have and rich require, Iโ€™m what contented men desireโ€

And then these are brought up again in the song Carrion:

โ€œShadow, nothing, all I amโ€

Really excellent lyric writing if I say so myself.

reminder that every kid you met in voice chat is now a grown man.

@unjustifiedcorruption748

tbh I remember playing this game when I was 7 years old with my best friend and sometimes with my older brother. Now I'm 17 and sometime I wish I could go back to experience that again. Earlier this year my best friend thought he was better without me and my older brother is soon going to be 25 and even if I'm becoming an adult I'm still disconnecting further and further away from him to the point that I barely know him anymore and he barely even knows me.

@stereoscream6222

@@unjustifiedcorruption748 Nowโ€™s the time to rekindle the flame. Pick up BO3 or hell dig up BO1, go visit him, and down a couple brewskis while killing some goddamned Nazi Zombies. Lifeโ€™s not gone, itโ€™s just moving forward. That doesnโ€™t mean you canโ€™t make new memories through old means though. Good luck Saint โšœ๏ธ

@stereoscream6222

Iโ€™m talking about your brother btw

@unjustifiedcorruption748

@@stereoscream6222 thanks, tbh even if we have been disconnected for while recently he has been amazed with me. He said he is going to be visiting a bit more often, which is pretty nice honestly and we've been playing games together whenever he shows up. The reason why he is amazed with me recently is because lately for a while my family thought I was just going to be lazy and do nothing with my life but I dropped a big bomb on my family telling them how right now I'm making my own book series, making music for my own series and a rpg game and how I've been making artwork of my 90+ characters and how I'm saving up money to get action figures of them. Tbh my family was really shocked about all of it because I never showed them anything about it until 3 days ago and now my family has been really interested in it and my brother would sometimes come talk to me just to see how well its going.

@stereoscream6222

@@unjustifiedcorruption748 Thatโ€™s awesome! Keep up that ambition! Itโ€™s easy to feel low and think everything is against you or that time is just moving to fast, but the key is remembering to work towards your future and enjoy the moment. I wish you the best of luck, and Iโ€™d like to know when you finish your novel! Iโ€™ll be sure to pick up a copy!

I remember a time when I solo queued for Zombies back in 2012. I was just a 14 year old kid just chugging through the hell that was 8th grade. I queued for Ascension and met three other guys and thought nothing of it. Randoms where typically chill in Zombies so I thought nothing of that regular banter. Turns out, I got to know these guys pretty well. One was a 21 year old going through college, one was a 30 year old who recently had a child, and the other was a 56 year old veteran. Despite our generation gaps, we made really good friends and slaughtered thousands of zombies together on weekly meet-ups. I remembered one time on Nacht Der Untoten where I was last alive with a ray gun and they were cheering me on to survive, the middle school kid I was. No one in my school gave me that amount of motivation and kindness as these three guys did. Wherever they are in life, I hope they are doing alright.

@imtrash5445

When my friends get down im the only one alive they yell at me not to die. I have no ammo, its round 32, no jug, im surrounded and then when i die they im trash but they were the first ones down like bro. I miss the old days

@haltheclown454

haha, man that reminds me of when i first played CoD zombies when i was like 6 on my mom's xbox

got paired up with a bunch of really old dudes on nacht, probably all in their 20's to 30's. they were all pretty nice although in hindsight they were kinda laughing at me a bit, which i understand because i was a pretty weird kid and constantly swore

so it was pretty funny to hear some 6 year old say in this dead serious tone "godfucking damnit zombies keep killing me"
i wouldve laughed too tbh

hope those dudes are all doing well.

@davefekete7187

โ€œNo one in my school gave me that amount of motivation and kindnessโ€ Dam that sounds depressing, I used to play this with friends couch coop style, the good old daysโ€ฆI wish you good luck my man.
