Song Meaning of “Expurgation Euphoria” by Aborted
‘Expurgation Euphoria’ by Aborted is an emotional and cathartic exploration of the powerful cleansing feeling one can experience while purging emotional toxins and coming to terms with the self. The music builds to a powerful climax as its lyrics buoy its emotionally charged guitars and crashing cymbals. The narrator speaks of a ‘deliverance from the lies’ that can only be achieved through personal and spiritual expurgation. The chorus, ‘What else can I do? I just want to be alive again’, underlines the deeply personal and often difficult undertaking of accepting the real ‘me’ in the wake of physical and emotional pain. The song ultimately paints a portrait of one who has undergone a cleansing process, in order to gain a better understanding of the self and strive towards becoming a better version of oneself. The catharsis of self-discovery and spiritual renewal is one that is both profound and inspiring.
