Self-Loathing - Getting high on self-pity
I wrote this one for myself when I was in a dark place. It helps to put words to your thoughts. – David

The idea for the video is about “getting high on self-pity”, portraying how we, sometimes, seem to indulge in our self-imposed mental torture and punishment.
Alex presented an idea of a pretty straightforward verse and a more melodic pre-chorus, all in the feel of At the Gates, The Haunted, and one of his favorite drummers, Adrian Erlandsson. I Vittra-fied the riffing, sort of making it my own, added some parts, but kept the original feel. Great song to play! – Johan


SELF-LOATHING

Lost
In a kingdom of failure
The unbearable truth
As it slowly consumes your pride
You were meant to suffer
You were meant to see
The void of reality

In the darkness where the night creatures thrive
The abyss of horror, stares me down
Naked and cold, in a world of turning circles
We try to hold on, hold on

The tragedy of life
Slowly unravels itself
As we travel down, deeper and deeper
Afraid of what you might find
Sirens sound so loud
A reflection of your own creation

In the darkness where the night creatures thrive
The abyss of horror, stares me down
Naked and cold, in a world of turning circles
We try to make sense, of it all

You fell in love with self-loathing
The easy way out
Yet you find yourself moaning
In the darkest of nights

Tear it out
Cleanse the open wound
Take the cross and reinforce it with steel
March toward
Towards the burning light
The ember they fear
So burn bright

Break the pattern controlling your faith
Remove the weak link, annihilate
A perverted relation with filth
Do not succumb, succumb to

In the darkness where the night creatures thrive
The abyss of horror, stares me down
Naked and cold, in a world of turning circles
We try to make sense, of it all

You fell in love with self-loathing
The easy way out
Yet you find yourself moaning
In the darkest of nights

You fell in love with self-loathing
The easy way out
Yet you find yourself moaning
In the darkest of nights

In the darkness where the night creatures thrive
The abyss of horror, stares me down
Naked and cold, in a world of turning circles
We try to make sense, of it all
