The Other
Unveiling the Silent Struggle: Combichrist's 'The Other'
Lyrics
Just want to hear a voice
Expressing a desire to hear a human voice for connection and communication.
But all I hear is a drone never had a choice
Feeling overwhelmed by a monotonous and lifeless sound, suggesting a lack of choice.
It's not the beacon in the dark
Acknowledging that the sought-after guiding light in the darkness has not been found.
That I've been searching for
Expressing a prolonged search for something meaningful and essential.
Words spelled out in bones
Describing words that convey a message through the imagery of bones, indicating a dark or ominous tone.
Told a story of lies
Revealing a narrative of deceit and untruths conveyed through a story.
Thousand words were broken
Highlighting the shattering of numerous promises or commitments.
Dust of bones remain hiding in plain sight
Imagery of remains and concealment, possibly representing the aftermath of broken trust or relationships.
Behind bright shining lights
Suggesting that the truth is obscured behind the dazzling facade of bright lights.
Did I ask for too much?
Pondering if personal expectations were too high, leading to disappointment.
Tornado of life seems soft to the touch
Comparing the challenges of life to a soft touch, perhaps implying unexpected difficulties.
I wish it all away
Expressing a desire to erase or eliminate everything undesirable.
The frost on my skin remains another day
Referring to the enduring impact of past experiences, symbolized by frost on the skin.
If it's all the same to you
Expressing a decision to reclaim control and ownership of one's experiences and thoughts.
I am taking it back
Asserting the intention to take back every word and thought that was given away.
Every word, every thought I've ever had
Stating that personal expressions and reflections now belong to the speaker.
Now belongs to me
Asserting ownership and control over personal thoughts and words.
If it's all the same to you
Reiterating the determination to reclaim personal experiences and expressions.
I am taking it back
Confirming the commitment to take back control and ownership.
Did I ask for too much?
Reflecting on whether the desire for more was excessive or unreasonable.
Torrents of life seem soft to the touch
Portraying life challenges as overwhelming and yet deceptively gentle to the touch.
I wish it all away
Repeating the wish to eliminate or distance oneself from undesirable experiences.
The frost on my skin remains another day
Reiterating the lingering impact of past experiences symbolized by the frost on the skin.
Did I ask for too much?

Torrents of life seem soft to the touch
