The Creed
Embrace the Metamorphosis: Defying Death and Finding Redemption in 'The Creed'
Lyrics
You wait for the sun to rise
You anticipate the arrival of a new day.
Exploding sulfur to bring the high
Expecting intense or exciting experiences symbolized by exploding sulfur to elevate your emotions.
You’ve done it a million times
You have repeated a certain action or experience countless times.
What’s one more day and one more night?
Considering the insignificance of adding one more day and night to your experiences.
You say that you’ve had enough of this feeling
Expressing dissatisfaction with a persistent emotion.
I ache for you
Feeling deep empathy or sympathy for someone.
One day you’ll find the truth
Assurance that eventually, the truth will be discovered.
It takes one lie to change your mind
Highlighting the impact of a single lie on changing one's perspective.
And then you’ll be “made new”
After a lie, a transformative process leading to a renewed self.
We won’t be burning
Emphasizing a commitment or affirmation that there will be no more burning.
We won’t be burning
-Death is not the creed that will define you
Rejecting death as the defining principle.
Tear away the pain and let it guide you
Suggesting removing pain and allowing it to guide personal growth.
Left behind, internalized
Reflecting on the impact and internalization of past experiences.
Those days behind us are made new
Past days, with their challenges, are transformed into something new.
The metamorphosis is failing
The process of transformation is faltering or not succeeding.
Invoking their own proof
Invoking evidence or validation for their own beliefs.
They take their time just to sanctify
Taking time to sanctify, possibly indicating a slow process of purification.
But the fear will rot the fruit
Fear having a corrosive effect on the outcome.
You can run from this
Choices to either escape or avoid something.
You can run from them
-Death is not the creed that will define you
Reiteration of rejecting death as the defining factor, removing pain, and transforming past experiences.
Tear away the pain and let it guide you
-Left behind, internalized
-Those days behind us are made new
-Haunted by the pain of the familiar
Haunted by the pain of the familiar, suggesting persistent distress from known sources.
Branded by disgrace, I'm a survivor
Being marked by disgrace but still surviving.
Rays of light materialize
Positive elements or insights emerging like rays of light.
Those days behind us are made new
The past is transformed into something new.
Those days behind us
Reiterating that the challenging days are now behind.
(You won’t be fighting anymore)
A reassurance that there won't be further fights, executions, or disillusionment.
(Or face the execution)
-(Of life in disillusion)
-You won’t be fighting anymore
Repeating the assurance that there won't be more fights, executions, or disillusionment.
Or face the execution
-Of life in disillusion
-Death is not the creed that will define you
Reiterating the rejection of death as a defining factor, removal of pain, and transformation of past experiences.
Tear away the pain and let it guide you
-Left behind, internalized
-Those days behind us are made new
-Haunted by the pain of the familiar
Continuing to be haunted by familiar pain.
Branded by disgrace, I'm a survivor
Branded by disgrace, yet resilient as a survivor.
Rays of light materialize
Positive elements or insights materializing like rays of light.
Those days behind us are made new
The past is transformed into something new.
We won't be burning
A final affirmation that there won't be burning anymore.
We won't be burning
