Bloody Prophets
Eyes Wide, Souls Breaking: Unraveling the Meaning of 'Bloody Prophets'
Lyrics
Open your eyes
Encouragement to be more aware and perceptive
I'll do the same but it's hard to see
Acknowledging difficulty in gaining clarity
our way home
Seeking a path or direction toward home
Rise
Calling for a rise, possibly a call to action
Save us
Expression of a plea for salvation
Run for your life
An urgent call to escape or survive
I see the light
Perceiving enlightenment or understanding
Watch the angels wave goodbye
Observing a departure of celestial beings
Bloody prophets say
Referring to prophets who predict violent outcomes
You'll never die
Contradicting the idea of mortality
Nobody stays sane
Assertion that maintaining sanity is a challenge
When hope terrifies
Describing the intimidating nature of hope
Lights dim when they're trying to seize me
Suggesting a threat or danger causing darkness
Wonderland is a nice violent dream
Portraying Wonderland as a chaotic and aggressive dream
Body's speak when Alice won't
Implying unspoken messages from bodies in distress
Night in day
Alluding to a disorienting time or situation
Don't criticize
Advising against criticism
If I refrain from the lonely view
Choosing not to engage in a desolate perspective
Breaking souls
Causing harm to the essence or spirit of individuals
Rise
Repeating the call for a rise, reinforcing urgency
Save us
Reiterating the plea for salvation
There's nowhere to hide
Emphasizing a lack of refuge or escape
Bloody prophets say
Repeating the idea of prophets predicting immortality
You'll never die
Reiterating the contradiction to mortality
Nobody stays sane
Affirming the challenge of maintaining sanity
When you're paralyzed
Linking paralysis to the loss of sanity
Bloody prophets say
Reiterating the predictions of prophets regarding sanity
Nobody stays very sane
Suggesting a general lack of sanity for most
Bloody prophets say
Repeating the notion of prophets predicting outcomes
