Song Meaning of “Nxdxqxcx – Demo” by Metal Duck
For many, the track “Nxdxqxcx – Demo” is an emotional exploration of the feeling of anger that can come from unrequited love. It is inspired by the personal experience of the artist of being unappreciated in a relationship that had become an unhealthy dynamic. Despite normally having a strong sense of self, they felt being pulled towards their partner and wanted to continue to love them, but often came away feeling neglected and ignored.
The powerful instrumentation is used to express this sense of frustration. The bombastic guitars, thunderous drums and distorted synths underscore the lyrics, which illustrate a picture of intense anger and feelings of betrayal. The lyrics paint a picture of someone feeling drained, but determined to look past their partner’s flaws and cling onto the hope that their relationship will eventually turn around: “Though I’m breaking apart I’m still holding tight/The hopes we had can still see the light”.
The track ends with a powerful message of resilience – feeling hurt, yet determined to find a way through and come out the other side. It serves as a reminder to commit to those close to us, but make sure that doing so doesn’t come at the cost of our own wellbeing.
