Lyrics
I'm on top of the world
I feel triumphant and on top of the world
And I see
Observing
The pain from a thousand generations to be
Acknowledging the accumulated pain across many generations
Like lambs to the slaughter
Comparing people to helpless lambs led to slaughter
Never free
Expressing a lack of freedom
Echoes of fear swirling around me
Sensing echoes of fear surrounding the speaker
I'm on top of the world
Reiterating the feeling of being on top of the world
And I see
Continuing to observe
The souls from the millions
Acknowledging the souls of millions trapped and not free
That will never be free
Emphasizing the lack of freedom for these souls
Caged in their bodies
Describing people confined within their bodies
Down on their knees
Depicting a state of submission, possibly in a metaphorical sense
Black clouds of fear swirling around me
Noting the presence of fear surrounding the speaker
Suffer forty shades of red
Enduring intense suffering represented by forty shades of red
Suffer forty shades of black
Experiencing deep suffering symbolized by forty shades of black
Suffer forty shades of red
Repeating the theme of suffering in various shades of red
Suffer forty shades of black
Reiterating the theme of suffering in various shades of black
Crawl
Encouraging a symbolic action of crawling, possibly in adversity
Try to walk
Attempting to progress and overcome challenges
Speak
Urge to communicate or express oneself
Free your mind
Advising to liberate the mind from constraints
Breathe
Instructing to breathe, possibly to find inner peace
And you will find peace of mind
Connecting breathing with achieving peace of mind
Free your mind
Re-emphasizing the need to free the mind from limitations
Suffer forty shades of red
Repeating the theme of enduring intense suffering in red
Suffer forty shades of black
Reiterating the theme of experiencing deep suffering in black
Suffer forty shades of red
Repeating the intense suffering represented by forty shades of red
Suffer forty shades of black
Repeating the deep suffering depicted by forty shades of black
