Cruel
cemetary of scream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give to the man
Mind that can only fell'n'suffer
Heart made with
With daub smiles
Meaningless words
And bottomless torment.
When he with bowed head
With storm of feelings'n'passions
Dives in the whirl of existence.
Is it not to much?
Can we stand that whatt a grace is?
On the rough wave
Of the seeming might
Full of the pride
Cruel words as the weapon.
When one blow
One blow changes
Mighty'n'rapid river
In the slime of the swamp.
When the end of
Dream 'bout life
Is so fast
Fast like see you of knife.
When hedies like an animal
With hate'n'fear in his eyes
He'll tear you heart out if
That will give him his life back.
Pray for all the sins that you have faked
With your lips
Full of the sand from the river of truth
That's the cynical worship
Cogs of the brain of the life
Loosin' control
Be aware or you'll be just the clown.
In Cemetery of Scream's song "Cruel," the lyrics describe the emptiness and cruelty of a relationship. The first stanza questions what the person gave to their partner, who only felt pain and suffering, and put on fake smiles and spoke meaningless words. The second stanza questions if it is too much for the person to handle when the partner is diving into the whirlwind of existence with a storm of emotions. The following stanza describes how powerful words can be like weapons, especially when said in cruelty, and remind us that one blow can change everything, transforming a powerful river into a sluggish swamp.
The song then takes a darker turn, describing how, when a person dies with hate and fear in their eyes, they will tear out the heart of anyone in order to have their life back. The final stanza speaks of faking sins and worshipping cynically with empty words, warning the listener to be aware and not become just another clown in the cogs of life's brain, losing control.
Overall, "Cruel" provides a bleak and ominous view of a relationship and life, asking uncomfortable questions and cautioning the listener against becoming lost in cruelty and bitterness.

Mighty'n'rapid river
A powerful and swift-moving body of water
In the slime of the swamp.
Descending into the muck and filth of a stagnant and unpleasant environment
When the end of
As it nears the conclusion of
Dream 'bout life
The longing for a better existence
Is so fast
Passes by at an alarmingly rapid pace
Fast like see you of knife.
Swift as the appearance of a sharp and deadly weapon
When he dies like an animal
As he perishes in a brutal and savage fashion
With hate'n'fear in his eyes
With feelings of animosity and terror present in his gaze
He'll tear your heart out if
He would brutally and mercilessly injure you, as a means of survival
That will give him his life back.
As a means of restoring his existence to its former state
Pray for all the sins that you have faked
Request for forgiveness for all of the falsehoods and deceptions that have been committed
With your lips
Using words, without sincerity or honesty
Full of the sand from the river of truth
Littered with bits and pieces of truth, but obscured and distorted by deceit
That's the cynical worship
This is the practice of worshiping in a disbelieving and distrusting fashion
Cogs of the brain of the life
The mental mechanisms that drive the workings of existence
Loosin' control
Losing power and authority
Be aware or you'll be just the clown.
Be mindful, or risk being seen as foolish or ridiculous
