Doomed

Bring Me The Horizon's song 'Doomed' delves into themes of despair, resignation, and a perverse embrace of one's own downfall. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been pushed to the brink, feeling overwhelmed and defeated by the circumstances of life. The opening lines metaphorically suggest a sense of entrapment and surrender, with the speaker ready to give up everything, even their heart, to the 'vampires' around them, which could symbolize the draining forces of society or personal demons.

The chorus, 'I think we're doomed, and now there's no way back,' reinforces the sense of inevitability and hopelessness that permeates the song. The repeated requests for the rain to come down on the speaker's parade and to be shoved over the edge indicate a desire to fully confront and feel the weight of their despair, rather than seeking to escape it. This masochistic longing for the pain is a way to feel alive amidst the numbness and to take control by embracing the chaos.

Despite the darkness, there is a twisted sense of acceptance and even enjoyment in the suffering. The lines 'The Sun don't shine but it never did, and when it rains, it fucking pours, but I think I like it' suggest that the speaker has found a strange comfort in the predictability of disappointment and pain. The song captures the essence of a person who has come to terms with their doomed state and finds solace in the honesty of their predicament, rather than living in denial or false hope.
