Behind the Songs — METAL MULTIVERSE

• Why This Song Was Written:

• To explore the psychological toll of war on a man who can’t hang up his shield.
• To marry cinematic war‐zone atmospherics (radio static, distant mortars) with visceral, groove‐laden riffs that evoke a soldier marching into hell.

---

B. Lyrical Breakdown

Intro

Sound FX: Radio static, distant mortars, shield ricochet
Spoken (distorted radio growl): “He’s not the same man… not anymore.”

• Sets a war‐torn soundscape: radio static and mortar fire place us on a battlefield.
• The distorted growl hints at Steve Rogers’ transformation—no longer the naïve symbol, but a man changed by trauma.

Verse 1

Carved from flags and broken bones
A ghost that bleeds red, white, unknown
From ice to war, reborn through pain
No peace for men engraved in chains

I carry death behind the crest
Justice branded in my chest
Time forgot, but I remain
A soldier sharpened in disdain

• “Carved from flags and broken bones”
  Imagery of Rogers’ origin: a super‐soldier crafted for war, yet shaped by blood and sacrifice.
• “A ghost that bleeds red, white, unknown”
  He is still the symbol of country (“red, white”), but no longer fully human—haunted, unrecognizable (“unknown”).
• “From ice to war, reborn through pain / No peace for men engraved in chains”
  References his decades‐long ice exile: awakened only to resume a cycle of conflict. “Engraved in chains” evokes a sense of unending obligation.
• “I carry death behind the crest / Justice branded in my chest”
  The shield (“crest”) is both protection and harbinger of death. “Branded” underlines how his identity is permanently marked by this duty.
• “Time forgot, but I remain / A soldier sharpened in disdain”
  Frozen in ice, lost to time, yet returned to merciless reality—honed by bitterness.

Pre‐Chorus

Stand — fight — bleed — fall
Shield is fate — I take it all

• A mantra of relentless motion: no pause, no retreat.
• “Shield is fate” positions the iconic round shield as both destiny and burden—he carries the world on its surface.

Chorus

Blood on the shield — never wiped clean
I march alone through every scream
Heart of the war — forged to defy
Born to bleed, too proud to die

• “Blood on the shield — never wiped clean”
  Emphasizes that every battle’s stain remains—there is no true redemption.
• “I march alone through every scream”
  Rangers stride into chaos even when allies fall; solitude defines his path.
• “Heart of the war — forged to defy”
  His core purpose was forged in conflict—resistance is intrinsic.
• “Born to bleed, too proud to die”
  Reinforces his unwavering pride and willingness to sacrifice.

Verse 2

Serum veins and severed trust
My country rusts, my morals crush
Friend to none, command to all
I watched the best of brothers fall

Truth is dead, the stars betrayed
Now I haunt what hope once made
Shield in hand, spine of steel
Rage beneath the wound I seal

• “Serum veins and severed trust / My country rusts, my morals crush”
  References the super‐soldier serum (“serum veins”) that created him; “severed trust” speaks to betrayal by those he served.
  “Country rusts” suggests decay in the ideal he once fought for; his moral compass falters under political corruption.
• “Friend to none, command to all / I watched the best of brothers fall”
  Isolation out of necessity—he cannot afford attachments, yet he leads armies.
  Witnessing Bucky and other soldiers die leaves him haunted.
• “Truth is dead, the stars betrayed / Now I haunt what hope once made”
  “Stars” as a double‐meaning: the star on his shield and the guiding ideals. Both have failed him.
  He now wanders among broken hopes.
• “Shield in hand, spine of steel / Rage beneath the wound I seal”
  Physically unbreakable, but psychologically wounded. His rage is sealed beneath stoic duty.

Bridge

Throw the shield — and bring it back
Break the line — and cut the flak
Nothing left — but grit and scars
My freedom’s forged through endless wars

• “Throw the shield — and bring it back”
  Iconic imagery: Mjolnir‐like return of the shield, yet here it reflects unstoppable duty.
• “Break the line — and cut the flak”
  Charging through enemy ranks, impervious to defense or criticism (“flak”).
• “Nothing left — but grit and scars / My freedom’s forged through endless wars”
  His freedom isn’t peace: it’s the right to fight. Each scar is a testament to survival, not healing.

Final Chorus

Blood on the shield — I still believe
In shattered oaths and hearts that grieve
I fight for ghosts that won’t retreat
I am the march — I am the beat

• “Blood on the shield — I still believe”
  Despite every stain and betrayal, he clings to belief in justice.
• “In shattered oaths and hearts that grieve”
  He honors fallen comrades and broken promises—his fight is for their memory.
• “I fight for ghosts that won’t retreat / I am the march — I am the beat”
  Still waging war for the silent, unseen souls who laid down their lives.
  He embodies the forward‐moving “march” and relentless “beat” of war.

Outro

“Till the end of the line…”

• A whispered promise: he remains steadfast until his very last breath—mirroring his comic‐book oath.

“Blood and Shield” is more than a Captain America tribute—it’s a sonic chronicle of a soldier whose ideals have been tested by betrayal, whose battles are waged in both flesh and spirit. Through layered production, nuanced vocal shifts, and lyrics drawn directly from war’s rawest truths, Death by Design FL transforms Steve Rogers’ saga into an extreme‐metal anthem that resonates in both the mosh pit and the mind.

B. Lyrical Breakdown

Intro

“I didn’t ask to be made.”

• A whispered confession of unintended existence—Rocket’s earliest defiance.
• Sets a tone of resentment: he was never given a choice, now he rages against his creators.

---

Verse 1

Torn from bone with rusted hands
Bolted brain — they called it grand
I screamed in code — they tuned it out
Built to bleed, to break, to doubt

Stripped my skin, stitched in steel
Gave me pain I shouldn’t feel
Science grinned, and gods just laughed
I’m the weapon they couldn’t craft

• “Torn from bone with rusted hands / Bolted brain — they called it grand”
  Imagery of grotesque bio‐mechanical surgery: Rocket’s body literally ripped apart and rebuilt.
  “Called it grand” drips with irony—his creators celebrated their “achievement” while he suffered.
• “I screamed in code — they tuned it out / Built to bleed, to break, to doubt”
  His protests (coded vocalizations) were ignored; he was engineered for endless agony.
  “Built to doubt” underscores existential torment—he was never meant to question his worth.
• “Stripped my skin, stitched in steel / Gave me pain I shouldn’t feel”
  Describes how he lost his original form (“stripped my skin”) and was replaced with metal augmentations.
  The pain is inhuman—someone inflicted suffering beyond biological limits.
• “Science grinned, and gods just laughed / I’m the weapon they couldn’t craft”
  His creators (scientists) took pride in their experiment, while “gods” (fate) ridiculed any attempt at control.
  He became an unmanageable force—a weapon more dangerous than intended.

---

Pre‐Chorus

Call me freak — call me beast
But I never begged for peace

• “Call me freak — call me beast”
  Reflects how everyone around him sees only his altered form and violent potential.
• “But I never begged for peace”
  He never asked to be healed or accepted—he only fought to survive.

---

Chorus

I’m more than wires and war
I’m vengeance in fur and gore
You made me, broke me, named me sin
Now dig the grave I won’t stay in

• “I’m more than wires and war”
  Rocket asserts that, underneath all the cybernetics, he still possesses a soul and will.
• “I’m vengeance in fur and gore”
  He embodies retribution—his brutality is both biological (fur) and mechanical (gore).
• “You made me, broke me, named me sin”
  Accuses his creators of molding him into a weapon, then condemning him as an abomination.
• “Now dig the grave I won’t stay in”
  Promises to defy death and the fate imposed on him—he will not be buried alive by those who wronged him.

---

Verse 2

Claws for keys, I hacked the void
Friendship was the dream destroyed
No heaven waits, no stars forgive
But still I burn — and still I live

Groot held roots, I held the gun
He grew — I buried everyone
I joke because the screams won’t quit
I snarl, I build, I never sit

• “Claws for keys, I hacked the void / Friendship was the dream destroyed”
  He uses his literal claws (sharp appendages) to pick digital locks and escape physical confines (“hacked the void”).
  Any hope of companionship died when his origins and trauma made him an outcast.
• “No heaven waits, no stars forgive / But still I burn — and still I live”
  He believes there is no afterlife or redemption for him—only relentless existence.
  Despite despair, he remains driven by internal fire.
• “Groot held roots, I held the gun / He grew — I buried everyone”
  Contrast between Groot’s innocent growth and Rocket’s violent path.
  Rocket’s actions lead to burial—literal and metaphorical destruction of “family.”
• “I joke because the screams won’t quit / I snarl, I build, I never sit”
  Dark humor masks his unresolved pain.
  He’s always in motion—constructing new weapons or sabotaging others—to keep the trauma at bay.

---

Bridge

Don’t tell me I’m more than the pain
Don’t say “family” — you left that cage
(whispered underneath)
“I didn’t want friends. I just didn’t want to die alone.”

• “Don’t tell me I’m more than the pain / Don’t say ‘family’ — you left that cage”
  Rejects platitudes—he won’t be comforted by claims he’s more than his suffering.
  The “cage” could be the lab where he was created, or emotional imprisonment by betrayal.
• (whispered) “I didn’t want friends. I just didn’t want to die alone.”
  Reveals his true vulnerability: he expects loneliness, not camaraderie, but still fears dying abandoned.

---

Breakdown

Welded rage — tech and teeth
Kill my soul — I’ll fight beneath
Tear the stars out — cut the wires
I AM HELL — BUILT FROM FIRES

• “Welded rage — tech and teeth”
  His anger is fused with mechanical implants—ramped-up by violence and survival instinct.
• “Kill my soul — I’ll fight beneath”
  Even if someone destroys his humanity, he’ll continue to fight on a primal level.
• “Tear the stars out — cut the wires”
  The “stars” can symbolize hope or guardians; cutting his wires means stripping away his cybernetic controls.
• “I AM HELL — BUILT FROM FIRES”
  Declares himself as living inferno—a creation of violence (“fires”) that now embodies chaos (“Hell”).

---

Final Chorus

No heaven waits for those like me
No mercy code, no circuitry
So light the fuse, and press rewind
This is my requiem — misaligned

• “No heaven waits for those like me / No mercy code, no circuitry”
  There is no redemption for him, whether by religion (“heaven”) or technology (“mercy code”).
• “So light the fuse, and press rewind”
  He invites destruction—resetting his existence surgically or metaphorically.
• “This is my requiem — misaligned”
  A “requiem” is a funeral mass; his is “misaligned” because he never fit in life or death—always out of sync.

---

Outro

“He was just a raccoon.”

• A bitter dismissal: despite all modifications, to the world he remains a “raccoon,” a curiosity or monster.
  Contrasts the complexity of his existence with how others reduce him to a simple animal label.

“Rocket’s Requiem” transforms a character known for sarcasm into a tragic figure—a being built to kill who now kills simply to survive. Through mechanical references, animalistic imagery, and a refusal of redemption, Death by Design FL crafts a sonic elegy for Rocket Raccoon’s tortured soul.

B. Lyrical Breakdown

Intro

“Blood in the wires… death in design…”

• A whispered warning: the power coursing through Stark’s systems is both lifeblood and curse.
• Sets a tone of ominous inevitability—Stark’s own creations breed danger.

---

Verse 1

Scrap-born spine — I welded my fate
Arc-burn heart — the forge of hate
Alloy veins in a red-lit shell
I am the storm the devil sells

Hammer-clicked in desert flame
Bound in bolts, no god, no name
Genius fracture, pulse ignites
A man of war, rebuilt in spite

• “Scrap-born spine — I welded my fate”
  Tony’s origins as a weapons manufacturer—his first suit built from scrap parts in a cave. He literally welded his destiny, forging the suit that defines him.
• “Arc-burn heart — the forge of hate”
  The arc reactor in his chest powers him but also fuels bitterness—hate at his own past and the threats he faces.
• “Alloy veins in a red-lit shell / I am the storm the devil sells”
  His metal suit’s circuits (“alloy veins”) glow red from the reactor’s heat. “The devil sells”: Tony’s technology once sold for war profiteering, now embodied as a literal storm inside him.
• “Hammer-clicked in desert flame / Bound in bolts, no god, no name”
  The iconic moment of Tony building the first Iron Man suit under duress. Without his identity (“no god, no name”), he becomes a machine soldier in a hostile desert.
• “Genius fracture, pulse ignites / A man of war, rebuilt in spite”
  His brilliance (“genius fracture”) causes his downfall, but also his rebirth. The reactor’s pulse brings him back—“rebuilt in spite” of his enemies and his own hubris.

---

Pre‐Chorus

Broken flesh — wired for wrath
Hear the arc — ignite my path

• “Broken flesh — wired for wrath”
  Stark’s body failing, replaced or augmented by tech; his flesh is broken, yet he’s wired for vengeance.
• “Hear the arc — ignite my path”
  The reactor’s hum guides him forward—each pulse a new mission.

---

Chorus

I — am — steel!
Born to break the sky!
Fuel — and — fear!
My heart refuses to die!

Reactor burns — in shadows stark
No soul left — just heart of the arc

• “I — am — steel! / Born to break the sky!”
  Proclaims his identity: he is metal incarnate, destined to soar above all.
• “Fuel — and — fear! / My heart refuses to die!”
  The arc reactor is both his power source and his vulnerability; fear keeps him alive and alert.
• “Reactor burns — in shadows stark / No soul left — just heart of the arc”
  The reactor’s glow illuminates Tony’s lone silhouette (“shadows stark”). His humanity is subsumed by technology—he is now defined by his “heart of the arc.”

---

Verse 2

Flesh behind titanium lies
Algorithms where truth defies
Screaming systems overload
Fight to fall — implode, explode

Clean the rust from sins I made
Every kill, a debt repaid
Jarvis echoes what remains
Rage in circuits, death in veins

• “Flesh behind titanium lies / Algorithms where truth defies”
  Beneath the suit’s unbreakable shell lies vulnerable human flesh—and his own programming can distort reality.
• “Screaming systems overload / Fight to fall — implode, explode”
  His tech is pushed to its limits—warning sirens blare when systems are about to fail. The push-pull of fighting (to not die) and risking an implosive crash.
• “Clean the rust from sins I made / Every kill, a debt repaid”
  He confronts his past war profiteering—“rust” of old sins must be cleaned away. Each enemy he defeats helps balance the ledger of lives lost because of his weapons.
• “Jarvis echoes what remains / Rage in circuits, death in veins”
  Jarvis’s calm AI voice is his only company—echoing in empty chambers. His fury is now rooted in both his suit (“circuits”) and his human blood (“veins”).

---

Bridge

Snap of light
Fire inside
Mortal shell
Sacrifice

I am… Iron Man…

• “Snap of light / Fire inside”
  The arc reactor’s instant ignition (“snap of light”) and its burning core (“fire inside”).
• “Mortal shell / Sacrifice”
  Acknowledges that beneath the suit is a mortal man who has given everything—life, identity, peace.
• “I am… Iron Man…”
  His declaration of identity—a hero forged from flesh and steel.

---

Final Chorus

Built to burn — I lit the spark
Techno-blood — blackest mark
No crown, no myth, no stars to carve
Just silence now — and heart of the arc

• “Built to burn — I lit the spark”
  His own creation (the reactor) ensures perpetual combustion—he chose to light it, sealing his fate.
• “Techno-blood — blackest mark”
  Instead of red blood, he runs on technology—this transformation is both gift and curse.
• “No crown, no myth, no stars to carve”
  Rejects the notion of legend or glamor—he’s not about fame, only survival and duty.
• “Just silence now — and heart of the arc”
  In the aftermath of conflict, all that remains is the beating reactor and quiet resolve.

---

Outro

SYSTEM OFFLINE.
…proof that Stark had a heart…

• “SYSTEM OFFLINE.”
  A chilling signifier that his suit has shut down—leaving only his mortal self.
• “…proof that Stark had a heart…”
  Reminds listeners that beneath the metal, Tony was once human—his heart (literal and metaphorical) defined him.

“Heart of the Arc” fuses Tony Stark’s innovative genius with his emotional and physical scars. Through lyrical imagery of welding, reactors, and rust, Death by Design FL distills Iron Man’s saga into an industrial, techno‐metal anthem that throbs with both mechanical force and human vulnerability.

B. Lyrical Breakdown

Verse 1

Drifted from cradle — gods pulled the wires
Kidnapped by stars, baptized in fire
Mixtape pulse, a child’s scream
Buried pain beneath the team

• “Drifted from cradle — gods pulled the wires”
  Quill’s childhood on Earth ends when “gods” (Ravagers/Kurog) abduct him—he’s yanked from innocence (“cradle”) into the cosmos.

  His introduction to the galaxy is violent (“baptized in fire”)—literal crash landing and the death of his mother.
• “Mixtape pulse, a child’s scream / Buried pain beneath the team”
  Quill’s Walkman mixtape reminds him of home (“pulse”), while internal agony (“child’s scream”) hides behind his ragtag crew.
• “Father was hate, mother was light / Loss in stereo every night”
  His mother’s love (“light”) contrasts with his father’s betrayal (“hate”). Quill replays her final lullaby in his head (“stereo”).
• “Laugh to kill the echo pain / Fingers on the trigger vein”
  He uses humor (“laugh”) to silence grief’s echo. “Trigger vein” suggests he’s primed to fight or flee at any moment.

Verse 2

Galaxy gnasher — outlaw breath
Dancing through dimensions of death
Rocket’s rage, Groot’s cry torn
Guardians made where gods were born

Orb in hand — universe shakes
Half a god, all mistakes
Quips and corpses, masks and shame
Saving worlds, forgetting names

• “Galaxy gnasher — outlaw breath”
  Quill earns his reputation by roaring through star systems as a wanted criminal.
• “Dancing through dimensions of death”
  He slips between battles and near-fatal encounters as though it’s a twisted cosmic waltz.
• “Rocket’s rage, Groot’s cry torn / Guardians made where gods were born”
  References his teammates: Rocket’s aggression and Groot’s anguish. “Guardians made where gods were born” nods to Xandar and celestial origins.
• “Orb in hand — universe shakes / Half a god, all mistakes”
  The Power Stone’s raw energy disrupts reality (“universe shakes”). He wields near-divine power (“half a god”) but still makes human errors.
• “Quips and corpses, masks and shame / Saving worlds, forgetting names”
  His trademark wisecracks come at the cost of countless lives (“corpses”). “Masks and shame” means he hides regret behind humor. He protects galaxies yet loses track of individual identities lost along the way.

---

Bridge

You call me hero — I call it luck
I watched my planet turn to dust
Peter died with Meredith’s song
Star-Lord’s been faking strong

• “You call me hero — I call it luck”
  Quill downplays his deeds—believing survival was random, not noble.
• “I watched my planet turn to dust”
  His mother’s death and the loss of Earth remain vivid flashbacks.
• “Peter died with Meredith’s song / Star-Lord’s been faking strong”
  Earth-born Peter Rogers died alongside his mother (Meredith Quill’s lullaby). The persona Star-Lord is a mask; the real Peter grapples with sorrow.

---

Final Verse

Unworthy god, walk the line
No past left — just punchlines
Every joke another shield
Every scream my soul concealed

• “Unworthy god, walk the line”
  He wields godlike power yet feels unworthy of it. He must balance moral choices.
• “No past left — just punchlines”
  His old life is gone; humor is the only link to who he once was.
• “Every joke another shield / Every scream my soul concealed”
  Jokes mask trauma; beneath the laughter, his anguish is silenced (“concealed”).

---

Outro

“I’m just a kid with a walkman… and the galaxy keeps playing.”

• A final nod to his mixtape as his last tether to Earth.
• Despite cosmic chaos, the music persists—and so does Peter’s fragile hope.

“Nova Pulse” fuses Star-Lord’s signature humor and tragic origin into a groove-driven metal epic. Through vivid imagery of sound, light, and cosmic fire, Death by Design FL channels Peter Quill’s duality—flippant rogue and grief-scarred savior—into a soaring, heartbreak-charged anthem.

B. Lyrical Breakdown

Intro

Gone… gone… gone… gone…
It… begins… again.

• “Gone… gone… gone… gone…”
  The repeated refrain evokes disappearing life and breath—one by one, existence vanishes.

They begged
They broke
They blinked
They choked

• “We… were… never… here.”
  Haunting finality—existence itself negated.

“The Snap Eternal” distills the horror of universal erasure into a relentless, fractured anthem. Through bleak poetic repetition and stark imagery, Death by Design FL channels the moment when half of reality dissolves and the void floods in—leaving nothing but silence and ash.
