The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Soulcrusher" by the artist "Xandria"

Contents

The song "Soulcrusher" by Xandria tells the story of the pain and fear of an abuse victim trapped in a cycle of hopelessness and violence.

The lyrical "I" realizes that behind the abuser's aggression lies only fear ("I know the truth - there is nothing behind you but fear"). The victim is subjected to violence for years ("Hiding behind violence, year after year I felt"), becoming the object of the torturer's perverse pleasure ("Laughter echoes as you enjoy my screams").

Despite the suffering ("I can't forget - the pain and the dirt I had to swallow"), hope for liberation is born in the victim. She believes that the strength of the spirit will help her overcome the trauma ("There is a limit to everything - the soul you have abused will one day become stronger") and break this vicious circle ("You will never achieve - tears for the past and hatred for tomorrow").

The song contains images of hopelessness ("There is no escape from this, the daily cycle of pain") and the futility of struggle ("You try to earn respect, but it's all in vain"). The world the victim finds herself in is cruel and indifferent to the pain of others ("And no one will help the little jaws tormenting the half-dead"). The abuser justifies his actions by the principle of natural selection ("This is evolution... the fittest survives").

The victim finds "refuge" from reality only in dreams ("For me there is a refuge, but only in dreams... And in reality the storm continues"). The image of the "storm" symbolizes unceasing violence.

The second part of the song takes us to a broader context, describing a world where violence is the norm. It is presented as an "instinctive thirst for blood" ("Abuse of lust, instinctive thirst for blood"), relentless ("Hunting day after day") and inevitable force ("For the weakest will be wounded until he comes to his end"). This order of things is presented as "undeniable lie" ("This is a flawless system of selection by the purity of the breed, Carefully guarded by undeniable lie"), and the "defenders" are inactive, watching from the sidelines.

The final line of the song ("And you are still surprised when revenge overtakes you?") sounds like a rhetorical question, hinting at the inevitability of retribution for the evil done.

I know the truth behind you, there is nothing but fear

Hiding behind violence I felt year after year

Searching for someone to pay Darwin's price

Laughter echoes while you savour my cries

I can't forget it — the pain and the dirt that I had to swallow

This is the limit — the soul you rape will once be strong

You never get it — the tears of the past are the hate of tomorrow

Cursed Soulcrusher

There's no escape, everyday is a treadmill of pain

Working so hard for respect, but it all was in vain

No one would help little chaps picked half-dead

It's evolution, the strongest survive

I can't forget it — the pain and the dirt that I had to swallow

This is the limit — the soul you rape will once be strong

You never get it — the tears of the past are the hate of tomorrow

Cursed Soulcrusher

There's a refuge for me, but only in my mind

Outside it's raging on, on and on

Abusing for lust, instinct thirst for blood

Hunting day by day — tears will run dry to hate

For the weakest one is hacked till it's done

Till it's falling out of the nest, dead and gone

This sublime system of pure selection

Guarded carefully by the lies unquestioned

It is living on — it is killing on

While the protectors just watch

Do you really wonder when sometimes the revenge is on you?
