Already Dead (Nihilistic Delusion)

Nihilistic delusion manifests as an overwhelming belief in meaninglessness or pre-existing death—an internal sense that nothing matters or that the self is already gone. The composition conveys the numbness and fatal certainty of that state, mixing sparse textures with resigned lyric fragments. A funeral doom/death metal track: ultra-slow tempo, crushing riffs, minimal melody, and cavernous reverb. Vocals employ guttural growls and forlorn spoken passages. The atmosphere is eerie and hopeless. Lyrics evoke emptiness, loss of meaning, and the feeling of being absent from life.

Lyrics

      
Mirrors blank, the pulse is void—
Cold reflection, I avoid.
No heart beats inside this shell,
Just fading light and hollow swell.
I walk a world dissolved in reason,
Silent passage, endless prison.
Was I living, or already dead?
Meaning bled, foundation shed.
No sunrise colors gray decay,
The calendar falls, days slip away.
A breathless silence drips and grows,
Emptiness is all I know.
No voices call me from the deep,
No comfort in the thickening sleep.
Existence washed in shades of loss—
I’m drifting, soulless, tempest-tossed.
Nothing matters, nothing is,
I’ve faded into dust and mist.
The meaning torn from flesh and bone—
In oblivion, I am alone.
I an alone…
Lost in shadow, lost in air—
Already dead, still unaware.
The world moves on beyond my eyes,
Memories wither, presence dies.
Already dead in sorrow’s grip—
Nothing left but this eclipse.
