[Incepting Terror | Lyrics]

Losing yourself to consumption 
Nothing but death and destruction 
To go against your vision -
of absolution 

Look at yourself you have -
to get a grip 
You're losing yourself to this shit 
You're drowning in this pit

Of isolation 
Down the hatch to determination 

You're losing this battle 
It has it's hold on you 

Hold on to what bit of yourself -
​you have left
Your poison will only -
​bring you pain 
Dilute your insecurities
No terror or vulnerability 

Look to the sky -
for the sense of direction 
Or end up in desolation
For what it's worth -
I want you to change 
I've spent years -
watching you disappear

It's your decision 
To live a life of destruction

Noxii Arena performs in a dark stage amidst a room of fog; a narrative illustrates the life-cycle of events between loved-ones suffering or recovering from addiction. 

There's no oblivion about the meaning behind "Incepting Terror;" the band comments on Facebook: "Everyone is susceptible to addiction, don't be one of them." 

Let's draw attention to the lyrics scripted to the left. 
​
The first and second verses tell it like it is; there's no room for mercy here. "To go against your vision of absolution" loops into "look at yourself; you have to get a grip."

Towards the end, there is a shift in delivery and tone towards tough-love:  "Hold on to what bit of yourself you have left;" and "Look to the sky for the sense of direction" with "I want you to change."

The narrator ends with a lesson:
"It's your decision; To live a life of destruction."

For me, this song is a poem about self-awareness and self-empowerment as well as unconditional support and love from friends who are real with you. Thanks for writing about this important topic with such a genuine edge!

The term, 'Incepting' is defined within the link as to undertake, commence, or begin.
