The song "Necrotized" by Exhumed explores themes of death, decay, and the fascination with violence in society. The lyrics depict a grotesque scene of rancid flesh, describing it as a commodity that is slaughtered, skinned, and purchased cheaply. The scent of the flesh entices a group of necrovores (those who feed on dead flesh) who begin to salivate and feast upon it. The lyrics suggest that there is a morbid attraction to violence and death, as symbolized by the sharks being voracious at the scent of chum. The word "necrotized," repeated throughout the song, signifies the process of decay and dehumanization associated with death. The song criticizes the desensitization of society towards violence and the increasing normalization of gruesome acts. The idea of a "bilious buffet" suggests a disregard for human life and the pleasure derived from inflicting pain. It highlights the thrill-seeking nature of individuals who are entertained by carnage. The lyrics also touch upon the perverse fascination with death and the consumption of violent media. The phrase "to live vicariously through the deaths and lives of scum" implies that some individuals derive satisfaction by experiencing violence through the lens of others, finding entertainment in the suffering of others. Overall, "Necrotized" serves as a critique of society's obsession with violence, the desensitization to death, and the commodification of human life. It portrays a dark and disturbing reality where gruesome imagery has become a source of entertainment and fulfillment.
