Commandments
Reclaiming Truth: A Battle for Identity in Catastrophic Hero's Commandments
Lyrics
Go!
Expression of urgency or command to start.
It's what I'm owed
Asserting a claim to what is deserved or earned.
To love and be loved
Desire for reciprocal love in relationships.
So what gives you the right to call me your son
Questioning the legitimacy of being called a son and feeling neglected.
And look the other way?
Expressing disappointment in being ignored or disregarded.
It's my birthright
Asserting entitlement based on birthright.
As clear as black and white I see
Seeing things clearly, contrasting good and evil.
The blind leading the deaf astray
Criticizing misguided leadership causing confusion.
Leading to your world of lies
Referring to a deceitful world built on lies.
You get what you give so now I'm fucking done
Consequence of receiving what has been given.
This is my all
Emphasizing the dedication of oneself.
I've given what I've got
Giving all that one possesses.
When I stray from my commandments
Deviation from personal principles or beliefs.
Please catch me when I fall
Seeking support when facing challenges.
These days I'm burdened with pain
Expressing the weight of emotional suffering.
From the cross on my back
Metaphorical burden from hardships.
But I wrote my commandments
Creation and adherence to personal rules for guidance.
And they save me when I fall
Dependence on self-made principles for protection.
Too much at stake
Having too much at stake to be a victim.
To be the victim and take the bait
Resistance to falling into traps or manipulation.
Too much to change
Overcoming challenges and maintaining sanity.
And keep the courage to stay sane
Commitment to enduring difficulties and staying strong.
I see through all your lies
Perceiving deception in others.
Pain rooted in love
Recognizing pain originating from love.
Crown made of thorns
Symbolic imagery of suffering and sacrifice.
Disgust in what you've built
Disapproval of what has been constructed.
You left me one too many times
Feeling abandoned multiple times.
So I wrote my own book
Authoring one's own path or destiny.
This is my all
Reiteration of giving one's all.
I've given what I got
Consistent dedication and sacrifice.
When I stray from my commandments
Repeating the struggle with personal principles.
Please catch me when I fall
Requesting support during moments of vulnerability.
These days I'm burdened with pain
Continuing to face emotional burdens.
From the cross on my back
Maintaining resilience despite hardships.
But I wrote my commandments
Relying on self-imposed rules for salvation.
And they save me when I fall
Finding solace and protection in personal principles.
You tried to kill me
Surviving attempts to harm or destroy.
I tried to be like you
Emulating negative behavior for a misguided purpose.
You tried to kill me
Retaliation after facing harm or betrayal.
Now no one can save you
Acknowledging consequences for harmful actions.
This is my all
Reiteration of giving one's all.
I've given what I got
Consistent dedication and sacrifice.
When I stray from my commandments
Repeating the struggle with personal principles.
Please catch me when I fall
Requesting support during moments of vulnerability.
These days I'm burdened with pain
Continuing to face emotional burdens.
From the cross on my back
Maintaining resilience despite hardships.
But I wrote my commandments
Relying on self-imposed rules for salvation.
And they save me when I fall
Finding solace and protection in personal principles.
