Lily of the Valley
Awakening Fragility: Dead Venus Unveils the Delicate Dance of Humanity
Lyrics
wake up! Take a look at what's around you
Encouragement to be aware and observant of one's surroundings.
Everything seems so pretty fragile, don't you think?
Suggesting that the world appears delicate and vulnerable.
You wouldn't kill your neighbour you wouldn't destroy your house
Contrasting personal values of not harming neighbors or property with historical human actions.
But on the other hand take a look at the history of men
Highlighting the contradictory and destructive nature of human history.
Steady like the lily of the valley
Comparing human behavior to the stability of the lily of the valley, known for its fragility.
pretty, dangerous and easily destroyed
Describing humans as both beautiful and perilous, easily susceptible to destruction.
Am I insane??
Raising the question of the speaker's sanity in response to observed human behavior.
Or is this really, really what we became?
Questioning if the portrayed reality is the true state of humanity.
You're acting cold and hard as a stone
Accusing someone of being emotionally distant and unfeeling.
Oh no, you had nothing to do with it, right?
Suggesting a denial of responsibility or involvement in negative actions.
Open your eyes only once and face the reality
Encouraging self-awareness and facing the harsh truth.
We wither like the lily of the valley
Comparing human life to the lily of the valley, withering in the absence of light.
when the sun is gone and only shadow remains
Depicting a bleak scenario where only shadows remain when the light (sun) is gone.
Am I insane??
Reiterating the questioning of sanity in response to the observed reality.
Or is this really
Pondering if the portrayed reality is indeed the truth.
the way we've planned to live?
Raising doubts about the desirability of the planned way of living.
if so, our prognoses are lousy
Criticizing the bleak outlook and poor predictions for the future.
Like the lily of the valley
Reiterating the comparison of human fragility to the lily of the valley.
pretty, dangerous and easily destroyed
Highlighting the beauty and vulnerability of humanity.
Am I insane??

Like the lily of the valley
Reiterating the comparison of human life to the lily of the valley.
when the sun is gone and only shadow remains

Am I insane??
Repeating the questioning of sanity in response to observed reality.
Or is this really, really what we became?

wake up! Take a look at what's around you
Repeating the initial call to wake up and observe the fragility of the surroundings.
Everything seems so pretty fragile, don't you think?
Restating the perception that everything around is delicate and vulnerable.
