The Living
Embrace the Fire Within: A Journey from Darkness to Light
Lyrics
A red light from the east ignites the sky and ends
A dramatic event occurs in the east, marking an end.
A night with no sleep a night with no sleep
Emphasis on a night devoid of rest, possibly repeating the lack of sleep for emphasis.
The flames were burning high, and they still do in our eyes
Intense emotions persist, likened to flames, stemming from experiences.
Fueled by the things we´ve seen fueled by the things we´ve seen
The intensity and impact of experiences continue to fuel emotions.
Now the time to turn around and pretend is long gone
Past the point of pretending, acknowledging the inability to evade reality.
But still we try to run yeah still we try to run
Despite circumstances, attempting to escape or avoid facing the truth.
You've got to make a move, or someone makes a move for you
Encouragement to take action before others dictate it for you.
It´s your last chance to choose yeah it´s your last chance to choose
Highlighting the urgency of making a crucial decision.
I feel your heartbeat increasing towards lightspeed
Sense of heightened anticipation or anxiety, likened to approaching lightspeed.
Your eyes barely used to the light
Struggling to adapt to new situations or realities.
They start facing the day like they were facing the night
The difficulty in adjusting from familiarity to the unfamiliar.
And your mind is preparing for a war
Mentally preparing for a challenging situation or conflict.
You start fighting your fears they don't define you no more
Overcoming and refusing to be defined by past fears.
By the time when the sun hits the sky you´ve realized
Realization of possessing knowledge or answers that were already known.
You were looking for answers you knew all the time
Understanding the search for answers was unnecessary.
And as the last piece of shadow has died
Symbolic reference to overcoming darkness or negativity.
You are adrenalin pumped and you´re ready to fight
A state of heightened readiness and energy for confrontation.
I feel your heartbeat increasing towards lightspeed
Reiteration of heightened anticipation or anxiety likened to lightspeed.
Welcome to the living
Welcoming someone into the state of being fully alive and aware.
By the light in your eyes, I can see you´re alive with clear thoughts and a vision
Recognition of vitality and clarity in someone's expression.
This life is not perfect so let´s make it worth it
Encouragement to make the imperfect life worthwhile.
We are made of wood and fire
Metaphorically describing human nature as elements that burn and diminish.
We´re not meant to last forever
Acknowledgment of mortality and the transient nature of existence.
Once we´ve burned our fuel we´re gonna die out like a supernova
Comparing life's end to the explosive demise of a supernova.
And fade away
Conveying the fading away or disappearance of existence.
Like the light of dying stars
Comparing the diminishing existence to dying stars and their fading light.
Leaving behind empty space at last
The remnants of existence leaving behind a void.
Till to much light has disappeared
A description of the gradual disappearance of illumination.
And we can´t go back
Reaching a point where there's no return to a previous state.
Welcome to the living
Reiteration of welcoming someone into a vibrant state of existence.
By the light in your eyes, I can see you´re alive with clear thoughts and a vision
Recognition of vitality and clarity in someone's expression.
This life is not perfect so let´s make it worth it
Encouragement to make the imperfect life worthwhile.
We are made of wood and fire
Metaphorical description of human existence as transient and combustible.
We´re not meant to last forever
Acknowledgment of mortality and the fleeting nature of life.
Once we´ve burned our fuel we´re gonna die out like a supernova
Comparison of life's conclusion to the explosive demise of a supernova.
While you cut your steak to pieces carbon in the air increases
Linking personal actions to environmental consequences.
Heating up the planet until a nuclear war is no more needed
Highlighting the destructive impact of human activities on the planet.
To burn us down
Implying a self-destructive path until external destruction becomes unnecessary.
To burn us down
Repetition emphasizing the destructive outcome.
Wake up!
An abrupt call to wake up from ignorance or inaction.
