None Becoming
Eternal Fragmentation: Dark Tranquillity's None Becoming
Lyrics
This life was thrown
This life was discarded or abandoned.
Out to the elements for failure
Thrown out to face the consequences of failure.
This life was over before it had its time
Life ended prematurely, before its natural course.
The distance blurred the edges
The distance distorted the boundaries.
And sickened the resolve
Created a sense of nausea and weakened determination.
Our overturned perception
Our perspective, now overturned, still holds forgotten virtues.
Held forgotten virtues true
Values that were once important but neglected.
We failed to hold our promise
We failed to keep our commitment.
Of never letting go
We broke the promise of never letting go.
The doubt is now inoperable
Doubt is now unstoppable, irreversible.
As faith is to the blind
Faith is compared to blindness, suggesting blind faith.
Man-made virus of deception
Deception is portrayed as a man-made virus.
We must vaccinate the mind
Advocating the need to protect the mind from deception.
Alter our climate
Calling for a change in perspective and influencing the world.
Tune the world to our will
Suggesting control over the world according to our desires.
The dust has settled in
The aftermath is settled in, referring to consequences.
The broken structure
Broken structures now blend with the surroundings.
Is now one with
Unity with the shattered beauty of the world.
This shattered beauty
Embracing the brokenness in timeless indifference.
In timeless indifference
Encouraging a state of becoming one with none.
Become one, become none
Becoming one with nothingness, a paradoxical concept.
The upturned soil, the reversed sky
Symbolic imagery of upheaval and reversal, promising hope.
Mock with promise of our last hope
Ironically, the promise mocks us with false hope.
Skybound in our will
Our aspirations are bound to the sky but hidden beneath the surface.
We seep beneath the surface layer
Penetrating beneath the superficial layer of existence.
Become one, become none
Reiterating the idea of becoming one with nothingness.
