Song Meaning of “Breed of Depravity” by Tombthroat
This song speaks to the darkness of humankind, and the corruption we bring into this world. It speaks to our innate non-curative instinct for destruction and chaos and how this often leads to debauchery and corruption. It speaks of the all-encompassing darkness that spreads its wings and covers us in its shadow of despair and fear. It speaks to the ways in which we can easily allow ourselves to become enslaved by the depravity of our own making. It speaks to our own capacity for sin and how we can drown ourselves in its depths even while being warned of the danger. The chorus exclaims “Let the breed of depravity take hold” which is a warning to not succumb to using our own darkness as an escape from reality. Though it is tempting, giving in will only bring us further pain and suffering. So instead of succumbing to the darkness within, we must remember to stay strong and hold on to the light that still remains. In the end, we must remember that we are all accountable for our actions, for our own depravity.
