Possessed
Urgehal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taking control
Something else in charge of your
Body and soul
Be aware of the mirror
Of what you might see
This thing inside
You're riding on the wave
Of the supreme Satanic pain
Death would be a sweet relief
From this harsh internal rape
Immense pain boiling under
Your skin
As if demons rush through
Your veins
Insane on pain (fear)
You're demon now
The lyrics of Urgehal's song "Possessed" speaks of the horrors of being possessed by a demonic force. The song describes the helplessness and loss of control that a person experiences when a supernatural entity takes over their body and soul. It aims to bring to light the destructive power of pure evil and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics stresses the need for self-awareness, for one to be mindful of the person they've become and the path they're heading towards.
The verse, "Feel it nesting inside you, Taking control, Something else in charge of your, Body and soul," describes the gradual takeover of the entity, which begins to assume complete control over the human vessel, something the singer has become aware of. The next verse urges the listener to be aware of the mirror, be aware of the reflection and see the ugliness that lies beneath the surface. The words "This thing inside will never set you free" highlights the irreversible nature of possession, the fact that one can never go back to their old self once the evil takes root.
In conclusion, "Possessed" is a cautionary tale that highlights the dangers of temptation and the consequences of succumbing to evil.

Feel it nesting inside you
Sensing a presence taking root within you
Taking control
Taking over your actions and thoughts
Something else in charge of your
Body and soul
Another force now in command of your actions and spirit
Be aware of the mirror
Of what you might see
Beware of reflecting upon yourself, and what you may witness
This thing inside
Will never set you free
The force within will always keep you captive
You're riding on the wave
Of the supreme Satanic pain
You are riding the tidal force of boundless Satanic agony
Death would be a sweet relief
From this harsh internal rape
Death would offer solace from the brutal internal violation
Immense pain boiling under
Your skin
Excruciating agony bubbling underneath your flesh
As if demons rush through
Your veins
As if a legion of demons surges through your arteries
Insane on pain (fear)
You're demon now
Driven mad in anguish, you are now possessed by a demon
