Infested Within (Somatic Delusion)

Somatic delusion involves fixed false beliefs about one’s body—infestation, disease, or transformation that are not supported by medical evidence. The composition uses jittery textures and close-up sonic detail to convey the invasive quality of such belief. A classic death metal track with frenetic double-kick drumming, palm-muted guitar riffs, and deep guttural growls. Verses are relentless and percussive; choruses burst with thick distortion and manic energy. Breakdown sections channel suffocating paranoia and bodily horror, using harsh whisper passages and grinding slow riffs.

Lyrics

      
Crawling beneath my flesh,
Unseen legions, a writhing mesh.
Skin alive with burning dread,
An army breeds inside my head.
Doctors mock and turn away—
But I feel vermin, night and day.
Nobody knows the plague within,
I suffocate beneath their grin.
Infested within—my veins, my skin,
Swarming terror, madness spins.
Infested within—parasite reign,
I curse my body, drowned in pain.
Every nerve ignites with fear,
Burrowed horrors whisper near.
Isolation crushing mind—
Evidence that none can find.
“Prove the truth and let me heal—
I know these things are truly real.”
Cold disbelief—a thousand eyes
Judge the suffering in my cries.
Infested within—my veins, my skin,
Swarming terror, madness spins.
Infested within—parasite reign,
I curse my body, drowned in pain.
Crawling deeper night by night,
No escape from what I fight.
Infested, haunted, torn apart—
The plague consumes my heart.
