Early Grave
Defying Destiny: Architects' Journey to an Unavoidable Fate
Lyrics
I've been out for so long, the days slipped by again
The speaker has been absent for a significant period, losing track of time.
I can't sleep since I stopped caring
They are experiencing insomnia or difficulty sleeping due to apathy or indifference.
I can't sleep since I stopped caring
Reiterates the inability to sleep due to a lack of concern or interest.
I'll stay out until my lungs bleed
The determination to persist despite physical harm, suggesting a relentless pursuit.
And I can't tell daylight from streetlights any fucking-more
The confusion and disorientation between day and night, possibly indicating a loss of direction or purpose.
As he cast his shadow
An undefined figure (possibly symbolic) casting a significant influence or presence.
I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't look back
A sense of being stuck on a familiar path without the ability to change course.
And I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't, I'm not looking back
Reiteration of feeling trapped on a repetitive path without the ability to move forward.
This is so unfamiliar, death is no man's friend
Death is depicted as an unfamiliar entity, not a comforting presence.
And I'll stay here until I hear him roar
Commitment to staying in a situation until facing a significant challenge or danger.
Death is screaming my name
Death is actively calling out to the speaker.
Yet I refuse to listen
The speaker's refusal to heed death's call.
I refuse to listen to listen to him
Reiterates the refusal to listen to death's summons.
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
A firm declaration of refusal.
To listen
The act of refusing to engage or comply with death's call.
I'll stay out until my lungs bleed
Repetition of enduring despite physical harm.
And I can't tell daylight from streetlights any-fucking-more
Continued disorientation between day and night with an added emphasis on confusion.
As he cast his shadow
Reiteration of an influential or looming figure.
I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't look back
Feeling unable to change or revert from a familiar path.
And I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't, I'm not looking back
Continued feeling of being stuck in a recurring cycle without the ability to turn back.
I can't sit here forever
A recognition of the inability to remain in one place indefinitely.
Watch me rise again
An assertion of resilience and determination to rise again despite challenges.
Watch me rise back up
A reaffirmation of the speaker's ability to overcome difficulties.
Forever would just be so easy to fall into
Expressing the temptation or ease of succumbing to an indefinite situation.
Forever would just be so easy to fall into
Reiteration of the ease of falling into a perpetual state.
Yet I'll stay out until my lungs bleed
Despite difficulties, the commitment to persist until experiencing physical harm.
Forever is the easy option but I won't take it
Rejecting the easy path of permanence despite its simplicity.
I won't take it, no
Firmly refusing to opt for the simpler yet detrimental choice.
The choices I've made will lead me to an early fucking grave
The acknowledgment that the speaker's decisions will lead to an early death.
Death is screaming,
Death is depicted as actively calling out, reinforcing its presence.
Death is screaming,
Reiteration of death's active calling or presence.
Death is screaming, my fucking name
Emphasizing death's direct connection to the speaker.
