Sabbat

Mejibray's song 'Sabbat' delves into the complex interplay of love, deception, and self-destruction. The lyrics are a haunting exploration of a relationship marred by lies and emotional turmoil. The repeated use of the word 'Lose' signifies a sense of defeat and resignation, as the narrator grapples with the falsehoods and betrayals that have tainted their connection. The imagery of a shattered mirror and the act of cutting one's feet on its shards symbolize the pain and self-inflicted wounds that come from facing harsh truths. This metaphor extends to the idea that the reason behind these wounds is 'Ai' or love, suggesting that love itself can be a source of deep suffering.

The term 'Sabato' or 'Sabbat' is laden with connotations of ritual and darkness, evoking a sense of a ceremonial gathering that is both sacred and profane. The narrator questions why their partner continues to bear the weight of past sins and dreams, indicating a struggle to move beyond the shadows of their history. The pentagram, a symbol often associated with mysticism and the occult, further emphasizes the theme of a dark, binding ritual. The narrator's plea to be judged, deceived, and ultimately loved by 'Sabato' underscores a masochistic desire for validation and connection, even if it comes at the cost of pain and deception.

The song's chorus repeatedly asks why the partner behaves as they did in the past, seeking to understand the motivations behind their actions. This reflects a longing for clarity and resolution, as well as a deep-seated need for the partner to accept the narrator's ego and the darkness that envelops their relationship. The final lines, which question why the partner continues to hurt the narrator and tear apart their future, encapsulate the cyclical nature of their destructive bond. 'Sabbat' is a powerful portrayal of a love that is both consuming and corrosive, where the lines between affection and agony are blurred.
