Lyrics
This place is a wasteland
This location or situation is desolate and barren.
In isolation, we will fall
In our solitary state, we are destined to fail.
Never forsaken if we can fight the flame
We won't be abandoned if we resist the destructive force.
That burns within us all
An inner fire, shared by everyone, challenges us.
This place is a wasteland
Reiteration of the desolation of this place.
In isolation, we will fall
Emphasizing the vulnerability in isolation.
Never forsaken if we can fight the flame
We won't be forsaken if we confront the common struggle.
That burns within us all
The shared fire within humanity is referenced again.
Isolated, broken down to the ground
Isolation has broken us down completely.
Like a castle in the sand
Comparing the fragility of life to a castle in the sand.
Scarred by betrayal
The scars from betrayal are evident.
There's a darkness that creeps into everything I am
A pervasive darkness affects the speaker's identity.
I never asked to be an outcast
The speaker didn't choose to be an outcast.
Promises turn to tragedy
Promises have turned into tragic outcomes.
I wasn't meant to be alone
Feeling not meant to be alone in life.
Severed ties turn to broken dreams
Relationships have transformed into shattered aspirations.
Broken dreams
Repetition of shattered dreams.
Only memories of the peace I once felt
Only memories remain of the peace once felt.
Broken dreams
Repetition emphasizing desperation as the remaining emotion.
Desperation is all that I have left
All that's left is a sense of desperation.
This place is a wasteland
Reiteration of the desolation of this place.
In isolation, we will fall
Emphasizing the vulnerability in isolation.
Never forsaken if we can fight the flame
We won't be forsaken if we resist the destructive force.
That burns within us all
The shared fire within humanity is referenced again.
This place is a wasteland
Reiteration of the desolation of this place.
In isolation, we will fall
Emphasizing the vulnerability in isolation.
Never forsaken if we can fight
We won't be forsaken if we can confront the shared struggle.
The flame that burns with us all
Repetition of the flame that challenges everyone.
Face down in the dirt
The speaker is metaphorically face down in despair.
With vultures surrounding me
Surrounded by negative influences or people.
Praying for my death
Prayers for the speaker's downfall.
Have I been betrayed?
Questioning whether the speaker has been betrayed.
Or the mother betrayer
Contemplating if the betrayal is from a close figure.
Save me before there's nothing left
Plea for salvation before losing everything.
I'm not hopeless, I'm just abandoned
The speaker asserts resilience despite abandonment.
I'm not dead, I'm just dead to you
The speaker clarifies being emotionally distant rather than physically dead.
I'm not hopeless, I'm just abandoned
Reiteration of resilience despite feeling abandoned.
I'm not dead, I'm just dead to you
Reiteration of emotional distance, not physical death.
I'm not hopeless, I'm just abandoned
Emphasizing resilience in the face of abandonment.
I'm not dead, I'm just dead to you
Emphasizing emotional distance, not physical death.
