Broken Throne
Embracing Emptiness: Beyond Extinction's Broken Throne
Lyrics
Take my soul, take what's here
Expressing a willingness to surrender one's soul or essence.
Leave my mind in the empty fear
Leaving the mind filled with the fear of emptiness.
Of whether living a lie is better than just to die
Contemplating the dilemma of whether living a lie is preferable to death.
Neither vision has ever been so fucking clear
Acknowledging a clear understanding of both choices.
To exist as a corpse. Or to wake up cold
Reflecting on the options of existing as a lifeless entity or waking up in solitude.
I made no promise nor have been reassured
Denying any promises or reassurances, possibly from others.
Inherent emotion knows what I long for
Emphasizing an innate emotional understanding of personal desires.
These years alone, as a dying race
Reflecting on years spent alone in a declining state.
Is this freedom? This emptiness we face
Pondering whether the perceived freedom is actually an empty existence.
I won't stand, to be less of a man, just to claim this common embrace
Rejecting the idea of compromising one's identity for societal acceptance.
If I'm alone, then I know, my odds are as low as they'll ever be
Accepting the low odds of success when alone.
Will you live and let live, or am I condemned
Pleading for acceptance or facing condemnation.
As a fool or a liar, unless I pretend
Questioning whether pretending is necessary to avoid negative judgments.
To fit my life into a shell, what if this is hell
Considering the possibility of living a life that feels like hell.
That I've never been convinced of?
Expressing skepticism about the perceived hellish existence.
To exist as a corpse. Or to wake up cold
Reiterating the choice between existence as a corpse or waking up in isolation.
No promise, never assured
Reaffirming the absence of promises or assurances.
Inherent emotion knows what I long for
Stating that inherent emotion understands personal longings.
These years alone, as a dying race
Repeating the theme of spending years alone in a declining state.
Is this freedom? This emptiness we face
Raising doubts about whether freedom leads to emptiness.
I will not stand, and be less of a man, just to claim this common embrace
Refusing to compromise one's identity for societal acceptance.
No, if i'm alone then I know my odds are as low as they'll ever be
Accepting the low odds of success when alone.
Then I know my odds are as low as ever
Reiterating the understanding of low odds in isolation.
If It makes me pure...you fucking coward
Expressing frustration and disdain towards someone perceived as a coward.
If it sets me straight...fool
Dismissing someone as a fool for attempting to set things straight.
If It makes me pure...you fucking coward
Repeating frustration and disdain towards the perceived coward.
Set me straight
Issuing a direct plea to be set straight.
If it makes me pure, if it sets me straight
Repeating the desire for purity and being set straight.
Or if it swaps away, all this love for hate
Exploring the possibility of trading love for hate in pursuit of personal improvement.
I will be a better soul, that I know
Expressing a commitment to becoming a better person.
Than to live life on a broken throne
Choosing personal growth over a life of emptiness or falsehood.
Broken Throne
Repeating the phrase "Broken Throne" as a symbol of a shattered and unfulfilling existence.
Fuck!
An exclamation, possibly emphasizing the intensity of emotions.
Broken Throne
Reiterating the theme of a broken throne, possibly as a concluding statement.
