Black Dahlia Murder, The - Phantom Limb Masturbation Lyrics
It started as a child
when I first sought to flirt with fate
I’d lay next to the tracks with arms outstretched across the rails
daydreaming fantasizing of sparks and screeching brakes
the plumes of bright red gushing iridescent in the sun
adopt a life of struggle
one down three more to go
desire: amputation
leave me writhing in the limbless throes
it is deficiency I crave
I want so to be helpless
to inferiority a slave
a clump of breathing flesh
free from extremity
disassemble me
limb from limb oh what a treat
no more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie
my prayer is for calamity
merciful blades to sever me
crippling
detruncating
immobile by design
majestic ancient titan
swims proudly in its tank
I wish to slake its hunger
flailing my legs as bait
“I finally feel complete. I am now whole.”
superfluous gesture
an unnecessary art
sacrificial offering
unto the gilded saw
rid me of my shame
of what I’ve overachieved
my envy is the handicapped
lord I beg of you I plead
I plead
wheelchairs prosthetics crutches
all stimulus to me
my love beyond mere fetish
call it disabling
I’d waltz upon a landmine
feed digits to machines
phantom limb masturbation
the only way
dissemble me
limb from limb oh what a treat
no more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie
my prayer is for calamity
merciful blades to sever me
crippling
detruncating
immobile by design
disassemble me
piece by piece a loving feat
body image incomplete corrected by a knife
my hope is for catastrophe
a gangrenous limbdectomy
dismantling
dismembering
cut down to perfect size

Black Dahlia Murder, The Phantom Limb Masturbation Comments
One of their best songs. Hella underrated
Fell in love.....
So my homie and I were talking about if you can run one out with a phantom limb over a couple beers. I googled the question and this song popped up so now I'm here ha
That's a pretty romantic solo for a song with such lyrics.
Best song title award goes to......
Black Valor is probably their best song in my opinion. lyrics wise anyway.
just a little advice; don't use this song to introduce anyone to metal. :P
Why not
Worked well with me
Dont get why
guys if these lyrics disturb you try reading "the window" by these guys. truly evil
Chandler Downs you think that’s evil? Those lyrics are actually based on someone high in government that actually lived back in the late 1800’s if I’m not mistaken lmao. So as far as I’m aware, that song is a true story lmfaooooo
Lmao, the lyrics crack me up; pointlessly brutal yet poetic :p
TBDM have really been getting darker and darker with their lyrics over the years. I suspect the "deathcore" accusations are responsible. But what's great is that their albums have both types of songs, ones that are dark and demented, and others that while still dark are pretty much meant as black humor or not meant to be taken very seriously. This and Goat Of Departure being good examples, respectively.
@Akhamesh My thoughts as well. The satanism is indeed a metaphor for rebellion, but I think it to be noteworthy that certain religious fundamentalists do really view atheism as being synonymous with satanism. It's possible that is where much of the rhetoric in metal music comes from.
+Akhamesh Idk man. This song is pretty brutal but Virally Yours is from Nocturnal and basically is about guy watching people die in beds, photographing them and masturbating while sniffing and eating their vomit and bodily fluids. Guess that's worse than this. Or you have songs like Window and Deathmask Divine.
Akhamesh sorry man as they are pretty brutal but nocturnal is by far the darkest but thats just in opinion
Nate B. I dont think tbdm is trying to be over the top. They do basic death metal and brutal death metal lyrics mixed with melodic death metal sounds. Actually a really nice combo. Most death metal bands that use this sound dont generally go for the brutal dm lyrical approach
They literally are deathcore you stupid fuck lol
This, everblack and map of scars are the best n my favorite of this album. The solo on map of scars is top 3 tbdm solos ever along with horrible night and miasma if we're talking about feeling
+Mike Jordan Seppuku and The Fog have great solos

@FatalFrame45 in your interpretation you have some mistakes. I had their booklet, it were slightly wrong there. For example, "one fell three more to go", "...leaves me", "I want so to be helpless inferiority a slave", "merciful blades will sever me", etc. They are few, but the less mistakes are the more visible. Thanks for lyrics).
@Александр Игнатов I just copy and pasted the lyrics from a website. So i diddnt know if they were all correct or not.
omg these lyrics are really hardcore xD
@Christoph Dirnbauer yes, I've felt my brain cracks then)))
02:09 , thank me later
the solo is all i really care for in this song. it's excellent, and i love how Ryan shifts from some rhythmic stuff to a display of speed and skill in an instant.
The tapping part seems like it still has a very blue feel the rest of the solo does too, the blues just got pissed.
"Disassemble me, limb from limb, oh what a treat..." perfect, great and wonderful)) really that's a treat)
beautifully constructed.
brandon lee....your a fucking dweeb
Shall we disassemble him limb from limb?
@brandon lee you're the bitch go listen to white chapel gorguts whatever the hell you listen to probably pure shit with no song structure or melody with terrible solos that sound shit cos of no structure. Or maybe some gwar slipknot haha you probably think Metallicas Load album is amazing haha get the fuck outta here!
Don't bring gwar into this they're fucking awesome and all things metal.
Well, expurgate Metallica is expurgate yourself, you know. But I am agreed with your second approval. 1:1))
They're based on classical structures, fucking idiot. And those arpeggio scales probably are 3 notes a fucking second, don't hate on someones music if you know not a god damn thing about it.
dissing gorguts is just wrong...
+doc hendrix lmfao why were you on this video
badass, come check my channel out, started not too long ago and i'll take suggestions on what to upload next. (if you don't mind)
shitty sold out emo homosexual band.
nuff said.
@Fr33Candy i agree but i like skrillex too edm x metal
@Skepsis Lives people asking about respecting other genres, what the fuck do you think we are, hippies? go fuck yourself with your liberal ideas, this is metal, we hate other things we don't need a reason, this band is gay and it's enough for most of the metalheads to consider this as = shit.
@Brandon Lee Did you think before typing that... I would rather you be an idiot than a bigot.
+Brandon Lee lmfao so where is the song from Pierce the Veil where they sing about ripping people limb from limb, and being vampires, fucking dead people, and other heinous shit like that? fucking think you're confused
32NOBAMA oooh i get now. Youre gay. Thats where the projection comes from
one of the best solos ive head in a loooooong time
hell yeah it is
2:44 not that its difficult bit it gives the feeling of " yep this train is going to help alright" yep I died
finally someone uploaded this song!!!!!
