Remnants
Remnants of Resentment: Civilization's Devastation
Lyrics
Can you see the eyes of the innocent?
Perception of the innocence in the eyes of individuals is questioned.
Behind closed doors with fear ever present
Fear is consistently present behind closed doors, suggesting a pervasive sense of unease.
No escape from the devastation
A sense of entrapment with no way to avoid widespread destruction.
Corrupting Civilization
There is a corrupting influence on society and its values.
Below the surface
Below the surface, hidden emotions or scars remain.
Are Remnants of Resentment
Lingering feelings of resentment persist.
Remnants of the past gathering momentum
Past grievances gain strength and influence over time.
How much longer can they stay submersed
Questioning the sustainability of keeping these emotions suppressed.
The time will come when the banks will burst
Anticipation of a future moment when suppressed emotions will overflow.
Fire rises to meet you
Symbolic rise of inner fire from prolonged pain.
From the confines of decades of pain
Decades of pain have confined and shaped the individual.
Built into hate as the ego conspires
Hate is built over time, and the ego plans revenge strategically.
To exact revenge at the opportune time
The desire for revenge at an opportune moment is emphasized.
The Fire rises to meet you
Reiteration of the symbolic rise of inner fire from prolonged pain.
From the confines of decades of rage
Similar to line 14, emphasizing decades of rage shaping the individual.
No hope
An expression of hopelessness.
Go home
An urging to return home, possibly a metaphor for finding safety.
Just before they hurt me
An imminent threat, just before potential harm.
Just before they kill me
Emphasizing the proximity to potential fatal harm.
Can you see the eyes of the innocent?
Repeated questioning of the perceived innocence in individuals' eyes.
Behind closed doors with fear never ending
Continuation of fear behind closed doors, suggesting a never-ending cycle.
No escape the devastation
Reiteration of the inescapable devastation in the surroundings.
Corrupting Civilization

Below the surface

How much longer can they stay submersed
