Autophagia Nervosa

by Asken Av Verden

/
1.
But he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death. - Proverbs 8:36
2.
Tearing my own skin Consuming myself Gnawing at my own flesh Stress imposed cannibalism Pain keeps you in focus Parts of myself missing Corrupted nourishment Infections boiling all over my fingers My mouth riddled with pain Pus and blood exit my being Hypocritical caring towards others Undeserved positive attention Don't give to me the love I offer you

about

Autophagia Nervosa is a term i sorta made up that would mean compulsive self-eating and would be a harsher form of morsicatio buccarum (aka. chronic cheek biting). I started thinking about it and researching it after i realised i had eaten part of my lip due to stress biting.

I started working on Gnawing (...) around late October/early November and essentially finished writing everyhting except some of the drums. After that, i stopped knowing what i wanted with it and abandoned for a few months.
During March i finished programming the drums, finished the sound design and added lyrics and vocals (forgetting that there's an unused set of lyrics lying around somewhere).
Since i felt that one song wasn't enough, i made a Noise/Ambient/Industrial thing to accompany, took a Bible verse to tie it together and there we go.
