Stesolid Self-Destruction to Damnation
Urgehal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sulphur is your mind
Eternal misery

Psychedelic asteroid journey
Through infernal maze of horror
Death lurks behind each bend
Ready to wheel you in

Rabid these last years have been
Alone you have proved the mind
But the exit is lightyears away
And the riddle have no riGht answers

You search for your ticket to beyond the stars
But in reality you're digging frantic for hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Urgehal's song "Stesolid Self-Destruction to Damnation" describe a journey of self-destruction and misery through the use of drugs, particularly the tranquilizer Stesolid. The first line, "Sulphur is your mind," suggests a corrupted and toxic state of mind brought on by drug use. The imagery of a "psychedelic asteroid journey" through a maze of horror represents a distorted and terrifying experience, with death lurking around every corner.

The lyrics also suggest a sense of hopelessness and desperation, with the singer searching for a way out but finding no answers. The line "Alone you have proved the mind" suggests a sense of isolation and detachment from reality. Despite searching for escape "beyond the stars," the singer is actually "digging frantic for hell," emphasizing the destructive nature of the drug use.
