Providence
Burning Bridges: Unveiling the Provocative Message of Antemasque's 'Providence'
Lyrics
Starring back from his faith
Feeling a gaze from his faith or belief system
With ankles that crawl
With feet moving slowly or reluctantly
He's holding the answer he loathes
He possesses an answer he despises
Share is expense for 24 deaths
Sharing the cost for 24 deaths
If you long to be good, you'll come back
If you aspire to be virtuous, you will return
Holding his hands out to the glass
Extending his hands towards the glass, possibly a barrier or reflection
Biting his tongue, time has run out
Suppressing speech, time has reached its limit
You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
Repeated assertion of being burned at the stake as a consequence
You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
-You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
-Because providence she don't live here anymore
Providence, symbolizing divine guidance or care, is absent
From the sun to the drain is the price that you must pay
Paying the price from the sun to the drain, metaphorical journey with hardships
You can't always grunt for too long
You cannot always complain or endure hardships indefinitely
The shopper, the shackles, the colder the froze
Referring to societal constraints, oppression, and increasing coldness
A mess that devours it's own
A chaotic situation consuming itself
Holding his hands out to the glass
Repetition of reaching out to an impenetrable barrier
Biting his tongue, time has run out
Running out of time while suppressing speech
You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
Reiteration of the impending punishment of being burned at the stake
You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
-You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
-Because providence she don't live here anymore
Providence, representing guidance or support, is no longer present
(Should not live here anymore)
Emphasizing the absence of Providence
(Should not live here anymore)
-(Should not live here anymore)
-You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
Repetition of the anticipated consequence of being burned
You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
-You will burn, you will burn me at the stake
-Because providence she don't live here anymore
Providence is declared as no longer residing in the described context
