And evil smiled at me

Trivia

A rather introspective song about my childhood, and the way evil fictional characters started to fascinate me to the point of emulating them - something that still seems to inform my actions, my tastes and my choices, to a certain degree.

Musically, it's quite an experimental track - slow, lots of dissonance, industrial soundscapes and shit like that.

Lyrics

I was born in a normal environment

No one could foresee my descent into madness

Raised in constant euphoria and linear self-fulfillment

I started getting fascinated by evil roles

What's the most supreme act of linear self-fulfillment?

Crushing everyone who dares to oppose your freedom

Evil archetypes started to infiltrate

A naive, innocent brain devoid of any defense

And that's when evil smiled at me

Seduced me with its hellish grin

A diabolical attraction

Giving my life some thrill

Deeply enthralled into this world

Though it took time for me to realize

I was not really on the side

Of the good guys

Subconsciously driven by this instinct

I started pursuing everything

That could vaguely get me in touch

With the forbidden

I didn't know what I was seeking

My senses were my only guide

Massive reaction when they found

Pure evil in human form

And then evil smiled at me

Seduced me with its hellish grin

A psychotic attraction

That could not be opposed

Epitome of wickedness

Serpentine and machiavellian

Hiding a faceless insanity

Atavistic, uncontrolled

Totally unescapable

Instinct of malignity

As a symbol of power

In the name of independence

Stubborn individualism

Enthralled into dependency

From my own character

Born by unconscious emulation

Deeply rooted in personality

I'm my own worst enemy

Fanatical predisposition

Poison for objective thought

Totalitarian ambition

Brought to a new extreme

Nothing to do

Succumb to depravity

Slightly psychotic

Pragmatically neurotic

Latently antisocial

Emulative arousal
