12 ContributorsSoulless Existence LyricsI am nothing but the sum of my regrets
Anchored to this hollow shell
Numbness swallows me, flooding horizons
In a blaze of frost and snow

You can find me there wandering out of sight
In a place somewhere between the black and white
Where colors fade, desaturate
And myopic gaze turns into endless nightfall

This world keeps taking pieces
Dissolve this tundra is all I know
This world keeps taking pieces
Alone I feel the void call to me

It comes in waves, turning like clockwork
Confine me to this empty waste, I can't escape
Coasting dissociated
Upon the frozen current, bleakness fills my clouded eyes
Yet I see right through these withered hands, desensitized
Burn in the frigid waste, I've spent too long
Staring into the abyss

Lost myself inside the day and night
Between the black and white
Look beyond the light
Then you will find between the black and white
Then you will find between the black and white
Then you will find, then you will find
Between the black and white

But the sum of my regret

This world keeps taking pieces
This world keeps taking pieces

It comes in waves, turning like clockwork
Confine me to this empty waste, I can't escape
Coasting dissociated
Upon the frozen current, bleakness fills my clouded eyes
Yet I see right through these withered hands, desensitized
Burn in the frigid waste, I've spent too long all alone
It comes in waves, it comes in waves
Confine me to this empty waste, I can't escape
Coasting dissociated
Upon the frozen current, bleakness fills my clouded eyes
Yet I see right through these withered hands, desensitized
Burn in the frigid waste, I've spent too long
Staring into nothingness

Lost myself inside the day and night
Between the black and white
Look beyond the light
Then you will find between the black and white
Then you will find between the black and white
I'm lost in time, I'm lost in time
Between the black and white
I am nothing (Between the black and white)
I feel nothing

Lost myself inside the day and night
Between the black and white
Look beyond the light
You'll never find between the black and white
Then you will find between the black and white
You'll never find, you'll never find
Between the black and white

I am nothing but the sum of my regret
Anchored to this hollow shell
Numbness swallows me, flooding horizons
In a blaze of frost and snow
Lost in the folds inside the infinite dreamscape
On the precipice of where worlds collide
Remind me of the feeling lost in the distance
Cleanse me of this soulless existenceEmbed

If you're a fan of heavy music and deathcore, then you must have heard of Lorna Shore. One of their most impressive and widely popular songs is "Soulless Existence." This track is a perfect showcase of the band's signature style, which combines brutal breakdowns, blast beats, and technical riffs. But it's not just about the instrumental side of things - the lyrics and vocals are also exceptional.

Released in 2017, "Soulless Existence" immediately caught the attention of metalheads and critics alike. This song is a part of Lorna Shore's second full-length album, "Flesh Coffin," which cemented the band's position in the extreme metal scene. With its raw intensity and undeniable groove, "Soulless Existence" has become a staple of Lorna Shore's live shows, as well as a must-listen for any fan of the genre.

About Soulless Existence

The song opens with a haunting intro, featuring atmospheric soundscapes and eerie electronics. This sets the mood perfectly for what's to come - a brutal assault on the senses. The first verse starts with a slow, chugging riff, accompanied by Tyler Dennen's guttural growls. The lyrics are a commentary on the modern world and how we've become disconnected from our humanity: "We live in a desolate world, where souls are bought and sold."

The pre-chorus builds up the tension, with drummer Austin Archey showcasing his technical abilities with lightning-fast blast beats. The chorus itself is a catchy, headbang-worthy riff that will get stuck in your head for days. The lyrics focus on the theme of hopelessness and despair: "I'm living in a world that's cold, addicted to the pain."

The second verse continues with the critique of society, with lyrics like "A hollow shell of a race, addicted to our demise." The breakdown that follows is one of the most devastating moments of the song - it's slow, heavy, and will make you want to mosh. The guitar tone is thick and chunky, with perfectly placed pinch harmonics that will make your hair stand on end.

The bridge is another highlight of "Soulless Existence." It features a clean guitar and Tyler's cleans singing, which contrast with the brutality of the rest of the track. The lyrics are introspective and vulnerable, touching on themes of depression and anxiety: "I'm trapped inside my mind, I'm a prisoner of my own design."

The song closes out with a final chorus and an outro that features the same atmospheric sounds from the intro. This creates a sense of closure and brings the song full circle.

In terms of musicianship, "Soulless Existence" is a masterclass in technical deathcore. All the band members are at the top of their game, delivering a performance that's both precise and emotive. But it's not just about the technicalities - the song also has a great sense of dynamics and flow. It takes you on a journey through different moods and emotions, from anger and aggression to introspection and vulnerability.

Ultimately, "Soulless Existence" is a song that's not afraid to tackle heavy themes and make you think. It's a perfect representation of Lorna Shore's style and a testament to their talent and vision. If you're a fan of extreme metal, this song is a must-listen.
