A dark song about a dark time in my life. Mental Health matters, and showing emotion, harming, or wanting to die is not a sign of weakness, nor is it a "fashion statement/for attention". In my case my case the truth was very disturbing - I was so horribly bullied and felt so angry and beaten that I wanted to hurt someone, but I knew full well if I hurt someone, I would be in trouble, yet I could no longer bottle the pent up hate, anger and anguish in my heart, and thus resorted to hurting myself. It was thanks to my mother and father and the rest of my family that I was better again, thanks to their love and support, and the help I received with the situation.
The song is a message to anyone who laughs or ridicules people who self harm, thinks of them as "weak" or as "attention seekers", that everyone is different and some people do it because they are simply worn down from fighting their battles and have had enough, and this is their only coping mechanism, aside from physically lashing out at people. These people need love and help and support, not someone being an asshole to them; adding more fuel to the fire.
lyrics
This World's a mess
I've had enough
I do my best
But it's never enough
I'm Filled with stress
I'm sick of this
might off myself
Is there a point to live?

I see the Blade
I Pick It up
My nerves ablaze
I slam it down
into my arm
I'm drawing blood
I think of how
I hate them all
I hate myself
I hate it all
I slice again
RELIVE IT ALL!

Yeah

UGH!

Slashing myself
release my wrath
I savour in this scarlet bath
I picture the pain I bring
reflected on my enemies
my fury is destroying me

*Solo*

I see the Blade
I Pick It up
My nerves ablaze
I slam it down
into my arm
I'm drawing blood
I think of how
I hate them all
I hate myself
I hate it all
I slice again
RELIVE IT ALL!

As I cut deeper still
'till scarlet shows
My wrath burning within
My scars will show
Blood boiling, rising up
spilling onto the floor
How I despise this Life
And I hate them all
I focus my blazing fury
onto myself
Rip into flesh I will
By the Blade be blessed

Slashing myself
release my wrath
I savour in this scarlet bath
I picture the pain I bring
reflected on my enemies
my fury is destroying me

My Mind's a haze
Letting loose the rage
my feelings blazed
as I wiped the Blade
wash off the blood
my anger fades
my lust for blood
satisfied for now
my heart it longs for a new home
for a new place
I'm so alone

Slashing myself
released my wrath
I savour in this scarlet bath
I pictured the pain I bring
reflected on my enemies!

The Scars

A song venting about the horrors of contemporary life on Earth.
lyrics
Twenty-one centuries of bloodshed,
The world will never forget,
Those who suffered and bled
just living on this bloodied Earth.

In the year of 2022,
there is little we can do
As the world around us melts
We've been warned about this before
But the stupid did ignore
And now the oceans begin to spill
Bloodshed, Famine and Crime
Discrimination deemed as fine
by the filthy ignorants
UGH!

Living!
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Dying
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Fighting
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Crying
Upon A Bloodied Earth

Wars Erupt
Among Lands Corrupt
Seeking to Disrupt
Peace for own Gains
Assault on innocent Nations
By Bloodthirsty Dictators
Assumed by the ignorant as just

World heats up
as we burn up
Fossil Fuels for energy!

The ignorance of the people
Conspiracies and the feeble -
bad beliefs assumed as righteous

(*Solos*)

Living!
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Dying
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Fighting
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Crying
Upon A Bloodied Earth

Living!
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Dying
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Fighting
Upon A Bloodied Earth
Crying
Upon A Bloodied Earth

Yeah!

UGH!

Upon Bloodied Earth

The song is about total emotional burnout. When you just have had enough and no longer know what to do with your life. You remember one thing - "Memento Mori" (Remember you'll die) - no matter how big or strong we get, we will all die sooner or later, so we should make the best of life, and live it to our best ability and be happy and let others live the way they want to and be happy too.
lyrics
I've just about given out
After years of toil and doubt
my blood boils at the sight
of this merciless world of doubt
I honestly don't even know
why I feel so alone
I feel like I lack a home
Every day I'm so alone
Pain and Anger rattling my bones

Memento Mori
I don't even know what I want in this life
Memento Mori
This life, this world - just strife
Memento Mori
I don't know who I am, I am so sorry
Memento Mori!
What's the point of all this pain?
I think I may go insane
Well done if you love your life
I have one more thing to say:
Memento Mori!

There are times were I feel
Like I just want to kill
Myself or someone else
pent up anger, tears begin to well
Evaluating my life
asking myself all the time....
Why do I even bother with this life
In this world of Ignorance
- My hatred burning within
My sanity is wearing thin
Anguished fury DEEP WITHIN!
Yeah!

*Solo*

Memento Mori
I don't even know what I want in this life
Memento Mori
This life, this world - just strife
Memento Mori
I don't know who I am, I am so sorry
Memento Mori!
What's the point of all this pain?
I think I may go insane
Well done if you love your life
I have one more thing to say:
Memento Mori!

I feel like I must live and fight a fight
In this world to put things right
battle always - day and night
to make the best of this life
a thousand words cannot describe
the pain I'm burdened with to fight
the hoards of filthy ignorants
my will to lash out against the night
rise up and fight your fight
for truly I am here
for a good time not a long time
- Yeah!

Memento Mori
I don't even know what I want in this life
Memento Mori
This life, this world - just strife
Memento Mori
I don't know who I am, I am so sorry
Memento Mori!
What's the point of all this pain?
I think I may go insane
Well done if you love your life
I have one more thing to say:
Memento Mori! (*2)

Memento Mori! Yeah!
Ugh!
Yeah!
