Dead Message
Echoes of Desolation: Unraveling the Meaning Behind As Paradise Falls' 'Dead Message'
Lyrics
So who am I
Identity questioning, seeking self-definition.
Just a number to you
Feeling dehumanized, reduced to a mere statistic.
Count me in
Willingness to be part of something, possibly despite consequences.
Spit me out
Being rejected or expelled, experiencing rejection.
Count me in spit me out
Repetition emphasizes the cycle of inclusion and rejection.
Who even knows
Uncertainty about the truth of statements made.
If what you say is true
Doubt about the sincerity or accuracy of what is said.
Mark your words
Emphasis on being accountable for what is spoken.
Think back hard
Reflecting on past conversations or regrets.
What was said.
Reviewing and questioning what was communicated.
I know it's hard to pick view that works.
Acknowledging difficulty in finding a perspective that aligns with reality.
so your above everything and you never get hurt.
Expressing a sense of superiority and invulnerability to pain.
Point that fucking finger at me again I'll snap it right off and feed you with it.
Warning against blaming and threatening consequences for accusations.
So remind me how fucking useless I am
Questioning self-worth, feeling inadequate.
Whilst I keep this shit together
Maintaining composure despite internal struggles.
You tell me you've seen better
Comparing experiences, possibly dealing with criticism.
That's just the way it goes.
Acceptance of life's harsh realities.
What did you expect?
Questioning unrealistic expectations.
How can a saviour be a fucking disgrace?
Challenging the paradox of a flawed savior figure.
I guess we're all just looking for something to hate.
Exploring the tendency to find something to despise.
You chose me.
Acknowledging being chosen for scrutiny or blame.
Always looking out but never looking in.
Being observant of others but neglecting self-reflection.
If I spend more time thinking
Considering consequences through introspection.
My faults were over thinking
Realizing that overthinking can lead to personal faults.
We dig our own graves
Metaphorical self-destructive behavior, creating one's own problems.
And I'll climb down there myself
Willingness to face self-created difficulties.
But I'll scream onto the sky
Expressing emotions loudly and defiantly.
You threw the dirt on me.
Feeling buried or overshadowed by others' actions.
Forever pushing
Embracing constant struggle or conflict.
We dig our own graves
Repetition of the theme of self-destructive behavior.
And I'll climb down there myself
Continuing to face self-created challenges.
But I'll scream onto the sky
Reiterating the defiant expression of emotions.
You threw the dirt on me.
Feeling oppressed or overwhelmed by external forces.
We dig our own graves
Repeating the concept of self-inflicted harm.
And I'll climb down there myself
Persisting in facing personal difficulties.
But I'll scream onto the sky
Continuing to express emotions despite challenges.
You threw the dirt on me.
Feeling victimized or burdened by others' actions.
