Album: World Demise by Obituary (1994)

Don't Care

Go on don't do well.
Where I feed the living hearts.
I got a torch to light.
Feel these melting fires burn.

I don't care what they say.
I don't care.
I'll do what I want.

I am by your side.
Tell me you think what to do.
No way. I don't fear and slow down.
Your following in my grave.

I don't care what they say.
I don't care.
I'll do what I want.

Your ways I despise.
Your thoughts, "Get with your own kind."
We've got fumes to behold.
Setting, one size of fortune

Farewell to great friends
These will face the burning sun.
Tattooed shadows lifted.
Fear not, light the burning plague.

I don't care what they say.
I don't care.
I'll do what I want.

Bright lights sear his face.
Pitfalls twisting.
Call me far from cause
I survived through all this hell.

I don't care
I don't care.
Don't care.

I don't care.
Don't care.
I really don't care.



World Demise

I have found
You have found
Before you living groan
You got to pay

Live for life
Follow My steps
Existing to die...
Following in My steps

Do live out all My life
Do remain in constant fear
Going to sigh
And hasten to burn

Rock the one who finds
Paid to live...
With the light
...
Fall to two
Lies great demise
In silence
Counting graves lives foul
Go to die
Come to burn
World Demise

Go wilt die
The shocked earth groans
World Demise



Splattered

Pay for [Me] to go
Live to die city grave
Found that life wont pay
With ...
What's wrong with your mind
Kill thoughts set Me ...
I dont care to go
Just leave Me to die
Face scorn live for dying
Face scorn to be as one
We fall and set for discard
Do what the numbers say
To see the ways and forces
They like to see Me die
.. like riches for
Step forth to be my lord
To be my lord
.. reach his fall
Set for to be My ...
Even need time to spill
..
We found the killing bone
..
Found to expose the waste
Disrespecting future change
Face scorn live for dying
Face scorn to be as one
We fall and set for discard
Do what the numbers say


Final Thoughts

Final Thoughts
So long to you
Just lost the blow, so long to you
So long to you my friend.
Fell thoughts of souls descend.

The final thoughts
Final thoughts [X3]

So long to you my friend.
Might be is this the end.
The pain hurts the fear inside.
The kill be the weak to ride.

The countdown to fossil down.
Show me the candles meltdown.
Shallow graves in the architects of life.
Laughing at the years of endless crying.

You fear pain.
Your blood
Fear pain I'll die.
You fear pain I'll die.

Final thoughts.
So long to you my friend.
Might be is this the end.
So long to you
So long to you

Final thoughts.

Obscured pessimistic lyrics, typical of death metal genre that take environmental meaning because of the general attitude of this album: Both album cover and the video clip (don’t care) have pictures of environmental disasters. The first two songs have also slight references to images of mass destructions. A distinctive death metal album that uses the death attitude of the genre and lyrics for social and environmental awareness. We read in encyclopeadia metallum a fan’s comments who interprets many songs of this album as focusing on certain environmental issues:

….The guitars are always low tuned and the first track, Don’t Care, contains lyrics a bit different from the past albums: this one talk about pollution in the world, the decadence of the nature, killed by the men. From this song they took a video, the first in their career. ….
One of the Obituary’s most important characteristic is the use of some gloomy noises during or at the beginning of the songs’noises that can come directly from polluted cities, abandoned factories and so on. Explosions, metallic noises, so dark and weird. They contributed to give something darker to a music yet not so happy. Great. ….
Splattered and Final Thoughts are songs dedicated to all those motherfuckers, bastards that kill animals for their skins, brutal photos can be found in the booklet of the CD, about people with AIDS, children that play in a dirty, rotten places and so on, a good picture of our dying planet.
