De Kwelling Van Het Bstaan
Verwoed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of our lifeless bodies
Food for the maggots
Putrefaction
Liberation
A race of fools
Set ablaze
With his holy flames
Now rest his footprints
A grave for mankind
A world never known
As time and space dissolve
Into the truth named nothingness
The gates of our senses
The prison in which we are
Torn down destroyed
And our eyes will see all as it truly is
Infinite and pure
Filled with ecstasy and joy
As the world around us is
Devoured By the all consuming cunt
In the End there is no Word
His Word
Spoken to the deaf
As the blind see
The gates of liberation
Open up before them
The seal is broken
Bathing in the remains of man
Never to be bound
Cleansed
Pure
The song "De Kwelling Van Het Bestaan" by Verwoed is a track that delves into themes of death, destruction, and the ultimate liberation of the human soul. The opening lines are somber and foreboding, suggesting a hopeless situation where our bodies are nothing more than food for maggots. The singer then goes on to suggest that this puts us on a path to true liberation, which is symbolized by flames that will burn away the foolishness of our past lives. The once-vibrant world is now nothing more than a grave for mankind, and time and space dissolve as we come to understand the truth of nothingness.
The song then pivots towards a more hopeful tone, suggesting that this spiritual liberation will allow us to see the world around us in a purer, more joyful way. The gates of liberation will be opened by a spoken Word that only the deaf can hear and the blind can see. The consumption of mankind is a symbol of the ultimate cleansing, and the singer suggests that we will emerge from this destruction purified and unbound.
Overall, this song is an intense and thought-provoking exploration of life, death, and the ultimate spiritual journey. It suggests that although the process of destruction and decay may be painful, it is ultimately necessary for true liberation to occur.
