Atlas
Atlas' Rebellion: Embrace Freedom, Defy Despair
Lyrics
In despair
Expressing a feeling of hopelessness or desperation.
Despoil and destroy man's mind,
Corrupt and harm the intellect or thoughts of humanity.
Laud the world's decay.
Praise the decline or deterioration of the world.
Fire brings light.
Fire symbolizes illumination or knowledge.
A titan chained to a rock,
Metaphorical reference to a powerful figure trapped or constrained.
Keeps his head up high.
Despite difficulties, maintaining resilience or determination.
I refuse to deny my
Refusal to give up or abandon one's intellect or thoughts.
Mind, surrender it to all of those, who preach self-sacrifice.
Resisting surrendering to those advocating self-sacrifice.
Only fallen stars they reach.
Only those who have failed spectacularly can reach them.
I think to live, I create to survive.
Thinking and creating are essential for survival.
Nothing's free from my will.
Nothing happens without the individual's will or intention.
Hear my voice. The time is now. Stand by my side.
Calling for action in the present moment and urging support.
Fight for your sovereign mind,
Encouraging a struggle for one's independent thoughts or mind.
For the virtue of your pride.
Fighting for the value and dignity associated with personal pride.
Let the sky you hold fall down.
Metaphorically suggesting the collapse of one's ideals or beliefs.
Leave them to the death they worship. Stand up tall,
Rejecting the worship of death and standing upright against it.
Drop the world, Atlas, shrug.
Metaphorically referring to releasing the burden of the world's expectations or responsibilities.
Now tell me, What do you see?
Questioning someone to share their perception or viewpoint.
It's their moral ideal brought into life in its full perfection - masterpiece.
Describing an ideal brought to life flawlessly.
And mystics spreading the disease of hate are the ones they fear and pray,
Blaming mystics for spreading hate and being feared and revered by others.
They lead you all astray.
Criticizing the misleading influence of certain individuals.
Rise from your knees!
Urging to stand up and stop submitting to a higher authority.
Don't try to hold this world no more, you don't need to remorse,
There's no need to feel regret or guilt for releasing control over the world.
Give them what they deserve.
Advocating giving appropriate consequences or justice.
And on the afterglow
Suggesting that external forces feed on the remains of human thoughts or ideas.
Of our minds they feed. We leave this doom behind,
Choosing to move away from impending destruction and seeking freedom.
We choose to be free.
Opting for liberty and independence.
