- Dead Skin Mask Lyrics / with translations[SLAYER - 1990 - "Seasons In The Abyss"]
[Music: Hanneman / Lyrics: Aray]
[Spoken:]
How I've waited for you to come
I've been here all alone
Now that you've arrived
Please stay a while
And I promise I won't keep you long
I'll keep you forever
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies [sings "appease"] the means
Provoking images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
Dance with the dead in my dreams (Hello? Hello Mr Gein?)
Listen to their hollowed screams (Mr Gein?)
The dead have taken my soul (Lemme out of here Mr Gein)
Temptation's lost all control (Mr Gein? I don't wanna play anymore Mr Gein)
(Dance with the dead in my dreams (Mr Gein, it's not any fun anymore,)
Listen to their hollowed screams (I don't want to play anymore Mr Gein)
The dead have taken my soul (Mr Gein? Lemme out of here Mr Gein)
Temptation's lost all control) (Lemme out, LEMMMMEEE OOUUUUUUTTT!!)

When we try to understand the message behind it, Slayer's 'Dead Skin Mask' is a journey through the twisted and sinister psyche of a person who is obsessively drawn to the dead and the creepy. The words bring to life a character that is so crazy about the dead that he/she confuses the real with the imaginary and thereby goes through a process of madness and loosing grip on the reality. The main ideas of Dead skin mask lyrics are sadness, fear, loneliness, contemplation, and even love at the same time. The song emphasizes obsession and longing very much; it also deals with death and the macabre, and mental instability. The lyrics are quite graphic because they contain adult themes like death, insanity, and disturbing imagery that might not suit children.
