Deathwish

Red Sun Rising's 'Deathwish' is a haunting exploration of life's fleeting nature and the inevitability of death. The song opens with the acknowledgment that life passes by slowly yet inexorably, chilling and feeding the soul. The lyrics suggest a sense of resignation, as if the passage of time and the approach of death are unavoidable. The repeated phrase 'it's all right' serves as a mantra, perhaps to comfort or to accept the inevitable.

The song delves into the idea of creating one's own gods and beliefs to cope with the end. This could be interpreted as a commentary on how people turn to religion or personal philosophies to find solace in the face of mortality. The line 'even the devil finds love' is particularly striking, suggesting that love and connection are universal experiences, even for the most damned. However, there's a sense of urgency, a warning that it might be too late to find these connections if one waits too long.

The chorus emphasizes the futility of trying to escape fate, with lines like 'even if we're swept away, no one here could save us all.' This reinforces the theme of inevitability and the collective human experience of facing death. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on belonging and the shared human condition, even in a world that seems to be constantly fighting. The 'deathwish' mentioned in the final lines could symbolize a subconscious desire to confront and accept the end, closing one's eyes to the struggles and embracing the peace that comes with acceptance.
