At the beginning of the story, the protagonist Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a huge insect. The cause of this mutation is never revealed. The whole rest of the story tells of the attempts made by the young man to try to adapt as much as possible to this new and very particular condition, especially when regarding his parents, sister, and his employer. He cries: “Am I damned forever? Is it all in my head? Why was I convicted?
Dr. Schafausen
The planet is overtaken The earth is shaken to the core My head is spinning round and round, I cannot see the world as I have seen before What I remember is this (this) There's been a prophecy The sentient death's been awaiting us all And it has come to take its due It's to time to pay Shivers go down my spine (I'm trembling) And I can't think straight These 4 walls surrounding me (Illusion) Won't protect from this invasion Ethereal dimensions consume the beings of my kind Transient parasites under my skin Crawling deep within, while I am giving in The reason is abandoned, all my hope is lost I'm breaking into pieces and then becoming dust Save me, I'm so helpless and alone I need a direction to follow The light at the end of the tunnel That I can see Liberate me from this nightmare I've been living in Contemplating on the things I've seen (This) Darkness overcomes (and we're all is) just the past memory Can it just vanish and let me be, Such a terrible vision's blinding me The dust has settled on the ground Is it the end we've all been waiting for? Shadows covering the skies, hear our painless cries (painless cries) Or is it all in my head? Am I forever damned? Is it all in my head? Why was I condemned? Why was I condemned?
