The meaning of the lyrics of the song "I, Dementia" by the artist "Whitechapel"

The lyrics of the song "I, Dementia" by Whitechapel tell the story of a person locked in a struggle with their own mind, consumed by madness. The lyrical hero realizes that "dementia" is a part of him, the creator of his distorted reality, filled with "cruel visions and lies." He understands that he allowed this to happen by "believing" in what created his madness.

The hero begs to be freed from this state, admitting that the reality he sees is just a fabrication of his mind. He urges his other side ("You") to share responsibility for what happened, because it was "You who created me." He sees the path to liberation through death - "Take my cold hands and go to the grave."

The repeating phrase "Take me away" emphasizes the hero's despair and desire to escape the "self-made Hell" of his mind. He sees salvation in "self-sacrifice", in the destruction of the part of himself responsible for his suffering.

The final lines of the song are dark and hopeless. "We will slowly rot" is a sentence that leaves no hope of salvation. Madness has won, the mind is destroyed, and the only thing that awaits the hero is a slow fading away.

I (am), dementia in your mind, creator of decisions,

violent visions and Lies

Blind (blind), your eyes forever blind,

reality is dead by your force fed demise

I (am), dementia in your mind, creator of decisions,

violent visions and Lies

Blind (blind), your eyes forever blind,

reality is dead by your force fed demise

Get out of my head, someone save me from this madness,

I'd rather be dead

All I see is reality fabricated by something

I refuse to see

You know who I am

You created me by letting yourself believe

Take my cold dead hands and go six feet down,

your failure is found

I (am), dementia in your mind, creator of decisions,

violent visions and lies

Blind, your eyes forever blind,

reality is dead by your force fed demise

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Take me away, I just want out

Take me away, I just want out

Take me away, I just want out

from this self-imprisoned self-made Hell

Don't be surprised, this is your mind

coming to life by self-sacrifice

This tragedy of death will walk hand in hand

with every thought of regret

Blame yourself for what you've become

The mind is a powerful thing set to self-destruct

Mind-fucked, you had your chance,

your time, this is the end of the line

This is the end of the line

This is the end

I, dementia in your mind, creator of decisions,

violent visions and lies

Blind, your eyes forever blind,

reality is dead by your force fed demise

We will slowly rot until this is stopped
