Drowned And Torn Asunder
Trivium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Force feed them your ways
Dictate up a blinded swarm
Society's afraid

Declaration of rebellion
We will not stand defeat
Deconstructing their hold
Our vengeance will be tenfold

(Chorus)
Our enemy will by drowned
The opposing torn asunder

Take all your lives back
Arson all they create
The time is now to lead the battle

Declaration of rebellion
We will not stand defeat
Deconstructing their hold
Our vengeance will be tenfold

(Chorus)

Deconstructing their hold
Our vengeance will be tenfold





(Chorus) x2

Overall Meaning

The song "Drowned and Torn Asunder" by Trivium is a call to rebellion against the societal norms and expectations that dictate us. The lyrics speak of a "blinded swarm" that is force-fed the ways of those in power, causing fear in society. The band declares a rebellion against this defeatist attitude and aims to deconstruct their hold on society, with the promise of tenfold vengeance.


The lyrics highlight the need to take back our lives, to destroy what has been created by the opposition and lead the battle. It's a call to arms against conformity, urging people to take control of their thoughts and actions. The chorus emphasizes the goal of drowning the enemy and tearing them asunder – an act of retribution against their oppressors.


The song's overall theme is empowering, with a strong message of resistance against the system. While the lyrics are open to interpretation, they resonate with those that feel trapped within the constraints of society. The emotional intensity is amplified through Matt Heafy's guttural screams and the band's heavy instrumentation, creating a sense of urgency and rebellion.
