Destructive fall
Ungraved Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Music and lyrics by Fucker]

I hear heart-rending screaming
Instead of moonlight charm
Crust of pain
Buried in my flesh

Chasing my thoughts by my friends
Jar upon myself
Clank of withered pity
Clink like brazen grave-bell

[CHORUS:]
So I...
Bleeding, smashing, crashing,
-"You hear me?"
-"No, my mercy,
I fucked!
Destructive fall...

[POSTCHORUS:]
...I keep your dawn...
Forever keep done.."

[REPEAT CHORUS]





[REPEAT POSTCHORUS]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ungraved’s song “Destructive Fall” convey a sense of agony and despair. The opening lines, “I hear heart-rending screaming/Instead of moonlight charm,” suggest that the singer is tormented by something devastating. He describes a “crust of pain” buried in his flesh, indicating that this agony is physical as well as emotional. In the following lines, the singer states that he is surrounded by friends, but feels utterly alone. His thoughts race, and he feels trapped in his own mind. The “clank of withered pity” and the “clink like brazen grave-bell” suggest that the singer is suffering deeply and feels hopeless.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “Bleeding, smashing, crashing,” indicating that the singer is lashing out or self-destructing in response to his pain. He then asks if anyone can hear him, but declares that it doesn’t matter – he is beyond mercy. The title “Destructive Fall” suggests that the singer is in the midst of a downward spiral, and he seems resigned to it.


The post-chorus repeats the phrase “I keep your dawn/Forever keep done,” and it’s unclear exactly what this means. It could be interpreted as a plea to someone to save him from his despair, or it may reflect a sense of futility and hopelessness – the singer is trapped in a perpetual night, with no hope of a new day.


Overall, the lyrics to “Destructive Fall” paint a bleak picture of human suffering and despair. They hint at feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and a sense of being trapped in one’s own pain.
