The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Left for Dead" by the artist "Winds Of Plague"

In "Left for Dead" by Winds Of Plague, the lyrical protagonist finds themselves in a desperate situation, betrayed and left for dead. The lyrics are filled with aggression, a fight for survival, and a thirst for revenge.

Metaphorically, their situation is compared to a sinking ship flying through the night – an absurd image emphasizing the hopelessness. The protagonist has been "dragged down," betrayed by someone close, personified as the "captain." However, they choose to fight, to "go with the flow," as the alternative is death.

The surrounding raging sea is a metaphor for a hostile world full of dangers ("sharks," "waves of rotten blood"). The protagonist must confront them alone, in an "uprising" against fate.

Despite the dire circumstances, the protagonist refuses to give up. They are driven by a fighting spirit, a desire for revenge against the one who betrayed them ("Give up, motherfucker, you'll never break me"). They are ready to fight to the end, even if it means "returning to the bottom" – dying.
