The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Incineration: the Broken World" by the artist "Trivium"

The lyrics of the song "Incineration: the Broken World" by Trivium narrate a deep existential crisis of the lyrical hero. He feels incomplete, a "fragment" torn away from something larger. This feeling of incompleteness evokes in him a longing for reunification, a striving for perfection.

The hero is forced to exist in an environment that he hates ("External obstacles/Forced me to live with those/Whom I cannot stand!"). He feels that his kindness and selflessness are exploited ("Those who create/In the interests of others,/Will never be visited by joy:/They are destined only to suffer!"), that "insatiable hordes" around him feed on his light, leaving only emptiness behind.

As a result, the hero finds himself broken, devoid of hope ("Behind me collapses/Even the hope that has already died out/Long ago"). He accepts his fate and with grim determination prepares to fall into the "broken world." The final cry "You broke me!" is addressed, perhaps, to the very "larger" from which the hero feels separated, or to the whole world that brought him to such a state.
