Mechanical Hannibals
Echoes of Desolation: Unveiling the Depths in As Paradise Falls' Mechanical Hannibals
Lyrics
The walls are caving in
The situation or environment is becoming increasingly oppressive or unbearable.
Swinging like a tattered curtain caught in the wind
There is a sense of disorder and chaos, likened to a fragile curtain being tossed violently.
Cascading through the floorboards
Things are descending or deteriorating rapidly.
While surging through the ceiling
Simultaneously, there's a force or pressure coming from above.
This is no hell
The current situation is harsh, but it's not an external torment.
This is home
Despite the challenges or chaos, this is familiar territory; it's where the individual belongs.
How is it you can look through the mirror
Questioning one's perception or understanding, possibly hinting at self-reflection.
As if it were
Although it appears transparent or clear, its true nature is obscured or deceptive.
Barely made of glass
Appearing fragile or easily breakable.
How is it your hands pass right through me
Expressing the ephemeral nature of connection or interaction.
As my nails scratch and tear
There's a struggle or conflict, indicated by the scratching and tearing.
At the seams
Things are coming apart or deteriorating at a fundamental level.
If we're just living monuments
Humans are compared to monuments, implying a static and unchanging existence.
Then what's the measure of glory?
Questioning the true value or significance of one's existence.
A tale to leave your children
Considering the legacy or impact one leaves behind.
Or a silent never-ending story
The contrast between an impactful story and an endless but uneventful existence.
Euthanise me
Expressing a desire for relief or escape from the current state.
So that all that I can see
Hoping that by ending the current perception or experience, there's a chance for a better life or perspective.
This life that I lead
Desiring a life that surpasses or is superior to another's.
Could be greater than he
Referring to someone who hasn't faced emptiness or despair.
Who has not looked into gaze of the hollow
Those who haven't confronted their deepest fears or voids.
And was not bred only to follow
Not just following the crowd or the expected path.
So that all that I can see?
As we march to the sound of an unheard beat
Moving forward or progressing, but not in harmony with the surroundings.
Another time
Reflecting on a past era or another's experiences.
In another's memories
The remnants or memories left by someone else.
Silenced eyes they follow you
Observers or critics watching one's actions or decisions.
Invisible fingers pull away from me
Feeling detached or distant from others, possibly due to external influences.
The walls are caving in
Reiteration of the oppressive or claustrophobic environment.
The walls are caving
The imminent collapse or downfall.
