Unveiling the Dark Symphony: Peacelord's Cautionary Tale of Power and Redemption
Lyrics
Whips out like tongues of justice licking salt from our wounds
Symbolic imagery of justice as tongues and wounds as salt, suggesting a painful exposure of wrongdoing.
Night fall, curtain call
Reference to the end of the day, possibly signaling the conclusion of a situation or event.
Peace lords, in suits, bring bills that are much bigger
Leaders or authorities (peace lords) in formal attire presenting bills of significant consequence.
Than those belts that hold their hungry wallets in check
Comparison between the size of bills and belts, highlighting the financial power and control wielded by the authorities.
You came here; to the place where money melts
Arrival at a place where money loses its value or significance.
With no knowledge of them; now they own you
Lack of awareness leading to subjugation by unidentified forces.
Eggshells under the words you spit like grains of sand stuck between your broken teeth
Words spoken cautiously due to the underlying fragility and tension, akin to walking on eggshells.
Might I suggest warning when your fear is peaking behind the dark charade your play?
Advice to be cautious when fear becomes evident in the deceptive facade of a performance or act.
You lay here; in the bed where dreams get raped
Existence in a situation where aspirations are violated, possibly a metaphor for a compromised reality.
With no energy left
Complete exhaustion or depletion of resources and vitality.
I'll return you to your precious life, so you can carry on
A promise to restore to a previous state, allowing resumption of a normal life.
Forget about the time you've spent and the mistakes you've made
An encouragement to forget past experiences and errors, promoting moving forward.
Might I suggest caution here?
A suggestion to exercise caution in the current circumstances.
Poor boys on wires attached to hands that shake away the life they once had, the lives they now live
Description of impoverished individuals struggling, possibly due to external influences.
War gods pitting young kids against themselves with art and fire
War as a manipulative force, exploiting young individuals with destructive artistic and fiery means.
Once warm, from souls that they snuffed and smoked
The warmth of souls extinguished, alluding to the tragic consequences of war.
One god, one knife, one past, one life, two hands, one goal, one mind inches from a lump of coal
A series of singular elements building up to a precarious situation, emphasizing a critical moment.
You'll be safe here; in the hands of those who know, under my wing
A promise of safety under the guidance of those who possess knowledge, invoking a protective metaphor.
"Another precious act, it's not a question that put you down"
A rhetorical statement questioning a questionable act that has a detrimental impact.
Another selfish act, another prophecy to put me down
Highlighting the recurrence of selfish actions and negative predictions affecting the speaker.
