Absent Are the Saints
Crashing Waves of Redemption: Absent Are the Saints' Meaning
Lyrics
With so many words we stand upon our dreams, with all the hell around, it's exactly what it seems
Amid numerous challenges, we hold onto our aspirations; despite the surrounding difficulties, reality aligns with our expectations.
Lying at the bottom we can't derive our fate
Struggling at the lowest point, we cannot determine our destiny.
In the dead of night, absent are the saints
During the darkest hours, there is an absence of virtuous and holy figures.
Changed men, will change
Individuals who undergo transformation will influence change.
There's only two kinds, ones with truth within and ones with plague inside...
People fall into two categories: those with inherent truth and those plagued internally.
I don't want to see it all come crashing down, down in the ocean
Expressing a desire to prevent a complete collapse, especially into the depths of despair like the ocean.
Altering the course, untangle this weight and send off the poisons
Attempting to alter the course of events, untangle burdens, and rid ourselves of toxic influences.
Mountain size the pain, if ceased would bring us sound
The magnitude of pain is comparable to a mountain; its cessation would bring tranquility.
No clarity to shape the lost all went unfound
Lack of clarity to define and resolve the problems that caused people to be lost.
But with the hope of man, shine faith from all unseen
Despite the despair, the hope of humanity can illuminate faith that transcends the unseen.
Braided hands that reach for nothing but belief
Joined hands reaching for intangible ideals driven by belief.
Changed men, will change
Similar to line 5, emphasizing that those who have undergone change can bring about further change.
Hope lies unlost, gain strength at all costs...
Emphasizing the endurance of hope, encouraging the strengthening of resolve at any cost.
I don't want to see it all come crashing down, down in the ocean
Reiterating the desire to prevent a catastrophic downfall, especially into the oceanic depths.
Altering the course, untangle this weight and send off the poisons
Continuing the theme of trying to redirect the course of events, remove entanglements, and eliminate harmful influences.
Absent are the saints, absent are the saints
Repetition of the absence of saints, possibly emphasizing the prevailing lack of guidance or virtuous figures.
