Imperium
Rising from Shadows: Empowerment in Artemis Calling's 'Imperium'
Lyrics
I won't be buried under weight of past mistakes
I refuse to be overwhelmed by the burden of past mistakes.
I will not drown in an ocean of regret
I will not be consumed by a sea of regret.
The vessel granting my passage has given away with time
The means of progress that once supported me has deteriorated over time.
I've got nothing left to lose, already hit the bottom
Having reached rock bottom, there is nothing more to lose.
This time I see the light ahead and cast away my problems
I now perceive a positive future and am discarding my problems.
Breaching the surface
Emerging from difficulties.
With the miles of darkness beneath my feet
Despite the darkness in my past, I am regaining control.
I'm back in control
I am back in charge of my life.
Nothing can pull me down
Nothing can drag me down.
You can't stop tomorrow
The future cannot be hindered.
Resuscitate me
A plea to revive or rejuvenate oneself.
I saw my hands sink into the water
Reflecting on overcoming doubts, symbolized by hands in water.
I washed them clean from all the doubts that kept me drowning within
Cleansing myself from uncertainties that led to my emotional drowning.
You can't stop tomorrow
Reiteration that the future cannot be halted.
I picked up what was left of this broken body
Gathering the remnants of a damaged body.
Spit the blood from my mouth
Spitting out the metaphorical blood, symbolizing resilience.
I won't stop until I've made it to where I wanna be
Determined to persist until reaching desired goals.
This is where I wanna be
Expressing contentment with the current state as an aspiration.
Breaching the surface
Emerging from difficulties once again.
With the miles of darkness beneath my feet
Despite the lingering challenges, I am regaining control.
I'm back in control
I am back in charge of my life (reiteration).
Nothing can pull me down
Nothing can drag me down (reiteration).
You can't stop tomorrow
The future cannot be hindered (reiteration).
Resuscitate me
A plea for revival or rejuvenation (reiteration).
