This Is the Truth
Unveiling the Cold Truth: Darkest Hour's Revelation in 'This Is the Truth'
Lyrics
The day after dawn
The day following sunrise
The knight moves on the pawn
A symbolic move, where a powerful figure advances against a weaker one
Why are we so violent
Raising the question of why humans tend to be aggressive
To grasp at the unknown
Seeking the unknown despite the violence involved
Because there's so much
Referring to the vastness of the unseen aspects of life
That we can't see
Acknowledging limitations in perception
Not your prophet your muse or your comedy
Rejecting roles as a prophet, muse, or source of humor
Tragic endings sad defeats
Highlighting tragic outcomes and defeats
A monument to the guilty
A structure commemorating those responsible for wrongdoing
They brought this disease
Attributing the spread of a negative influence to specific individuals
The truth never sleeps
Stating that the truth is always present and active
Cold and lifeless suspended belief
Describing truth as cold, lifeless, and existing in a state of suspended belief
Blinded unable to breathe
Depicting a state of being blinded and unable to breathe due to the truth
The royal blood
Reference to royal blood, possibly symbolizing an elite or ruling class
The tired sheep
Characterizing individuals as tired sheep, possibly followers of the elite
Arcane cursing death
Using mystical language to convey a curse associated with death
Nihilistic innocence is gone
Expressing the loss of innocent, nihilistic perspectives
I've been consumed
Indicating personal consumption or influence by external forces
Now I've lost all desire
Acknowledging a lack of personal desires
I lost myself in the choir
Indicating being absorbed into a collective voice or belief system
Never once never give it the
Emphasizing the refusal to give in to the pleasure associated with power
Pleasure of power
Describing a state of isolation or separation from power
Alone in it's tower
Being alone in a metaphorical tower, possibly representing isolation
I've lost the will to lie to myself
Admitting a loss of personal honesty or authenticity
I've been to hell I've seen the ruse
Having experienced difficult situations and recognizing deception
This is the truth
Declaring a revelation or realization of the truth
We're all being used
Asserting that everyone is being manipulated or utilized in some way
