Haunted Existence

Liner Notes
#metal #blackmetal #deathmetal #doommetal #mnet Writing music after a tiring day at work is always a dice throw. I didn't really feel good about this until it was more or less finished. My intention was to do a slower closing track and in that I think I succeeded. Writing the lyrics was very hard and I originally intended them to be more on the nose about how some people will blame others, and minorities especially, for anything and everything going wrong in their lives, but in the end I'm kinda happy how it turned out.
Lyrics
I am a stain upon the earth A sorry waste of skin Haunted ever since my birth I’ve ever felt the sting
I am reed in the mire A shadow out of light I am the glow of a dying fire Worthless in your sight
A stinking breath of rancid air A hammer pounding on your head A knife that sticks out of your back Vermin feeding on your dead A nightmare in your troubled sleep A horrid wraith that haunts your wake A grief that brings you to despair All that you have I soon shall take
This is great. I might be retired these days, but I still remember the strong sense of release that playing guitars loudly could give after a long and frustrating day at work. And those lyrics accurately reflect what it felt like to be me after spending the day in meetings, having to interact with management...
