Dusk Dismantled
Trivium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are the insect
We are the insect, breeding
We are the insect
We are the insect, breeding

A fire burns
In the back of
The throat
Let it out, let it out
Before the
Choke

Dusk dismantled
Combustion's convergence with our existence
Dusk dismantled
We are the infinitesimal

Bursting inside out
Bursting from the inside out
Bursting inside out
Bursting from the inside out

I dig a hole
Through what's left of
My world
Searching for, something more
I turn it
Inwards

Dusk dismantled
Combustion's convergence with our existence
Dusk dismantled
We are the infinitesimal

I'm falling, I'm falling
In this colossal void
Each day that I spent digging downward
Built me up for a higher fall

Dusk dismantled
Combustion's convergence with our existence
Dusk dismantled
We are the infinitesimal

Dusk dismantled

Dusk dismantled

Dusk dismantled

Dusk dismantled





Combustion's convergence with our existence

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trivium's song Dusk Dismantled describe the human race as insects, constantly breeding and multiplying. The intense emotions and desires that drive human behavior are likened to a fire burning in the back of the throat. The song urges the listener to let it out, to express those emotions before they become overwhelming and suffocating.


The central theme of the lyrics is the idea that our existence is constantly converging with combustion, as if our lives are one giant controlled burn. The chorus repeats the phrase "dusk dismantled" to emphasize the destructive and transformative power of combustion, as well as our own smallness in the face of such a force.


The final verse of the song describes the singer's journey inward, as he digs a hole through his own world searching for something more. The repetition of "bursting inside out" suggests the explosive nature of self-discovery and growth. The haunting line "each day that I spent digging downward / built me up for a higher fall" reminds us that sometimes progress means taking risks and facing new heights, even if it means falling.


Overall, the lyrics of Dusk Dismantled explore themes of destruction, transformation, and self-discovery. They urge listeners to embrace their emotions and to take risks in the pursuit of personal growth.

Definitely the best song on in waves. I remember when I was at age 11 and I heard 2:39 I was like "this is insane".

Cosmin Pop

Dude you are insane. There aren't many kids who would like this screaming at 11

Wheezy

you can hear the black metal elements at 2:38, such a powerful and amazing song, Matt heafy has such a creative mind
