Proselytist
Deceptive Serenity: Unraveling the Dark Depths of 'Proselytist'
Lyrics
And so your past has made a sudden appearance
Reflection on the sudden reappearance of one's past
Suppress the fear and keep it locked up inside
Internalizing and concealing fear
Decisions made with the lack of a conscience
Criticizing decisions made without moral consideration
Stand on the corpses of your fractured mind
Standing on the consequences of a fractured mind
Turn back the clocks
Metaphorically reversing time
And reset the timer
Resetting and repeating past actions
Stay here watch it all over again
Observing events unfold again
Live your life in a loop
Living a repetitive and cyclical life
Disciples recycled
Reusing followers or disciples
Once blind pretend to let them in
Pretending to accept those previously ignored
You are both everything and nothing
Existential reflection on being both significant and insignificant
Cloak and dagger take the knife from my back
Metaphorically addressing betrayal
Cast them out
Rejecting or casting out certain individuals
Drag them back in again
Bringing back those previously rejected
Spin a web of lies to keep them keen
Creating a deceptive web of lies to maintain control
Another servant
Introducing another follower or servant
Another vessel
Describing another vessel for manipulation
Another forced to their knees made to pray
Forcing individuals to submit and pray
False god
Labeling a false god
False prophet
Labeling a false prophet
With words like poison make them think what they're doing is right
Using persuasive words to justify questionable actions
Under the mask
Referring to a deceptive or hidden identity
A serpentine face concealed
Describing a concealed, serpent-like face
A silent voice screaming to the void
Expressing a silent voice unheard by others
Don't lift the veil
Advising against revealing one's true self
Don't let them see
Urging to hide true intentions
Don't let them in
Restricting access to one's inner thoughts
Proselytist
Describing a proselytist - one who spreads beliefs forcefully
You spread your will like disease
Comparing the spreading of will to a disease
Pray on the broken and lure them in
Exploiting the vulnerable to gain followers
A toothless husk barely holding together
Describing a weakened and fragile state
Under their feet the ice slowly wearing thin
Highlighting the precarious situation of those manipulated
Ice cracks, it breaks
Metaphor for the breaking point, leading to darkness
Another person dragged down to the darkness
Another individual succumbing to manipulation
Such pain, it takes
Describing the pain of being drawn into darkness
Lost to the void and spat back here among us
Being lost and then returned to the same state
A soulless shape
Depicting a soulless, manipulated figure
Beyond the pale of the person who raised us
Outside the acceptable norms of upbringing
Take their mind
Emphasizing the control over others' thoughts
Take their mind and surely their body will follow
Suggesting that controlling the mind leads to control of the body
Another slave to your will another drone on their knees
Another individual enslaved to the proselytist's will
Repeat the cycle
Encouraging the repetition of the manipulation cycle
Repeat the cycle
Reiterating the cyclical nature of the proselytist's actions
Proselytist
Final affirmation of the proselytist's role
