Lyrics
Is the world that you're in okay?
Questioning the well-being of the current state of the world.
But does it need a hero who never wore a cape?
Raising the idea of a hero without traditional superhero attire.
To come and save the day
Expressing the need for a savior to come and rescue.
I patiently wait
Waiting patiently for change or salvation.
Counting all the different ways we get to stay the same
Reflecting on various ways to maintain the status quo.
I need a change
Expressing a personal need for change.
Can you feel them coming closer?
Sensing an impending threat or challenge.
Won't become some fallen soldier
Rejecting the idea of becoming a defeated soldier.
I'm slowly losing my composure
Describing a gradual loss of control or calmness.
I can feel them taking over now
Awareness of an external force taking control.
I can feel them taking over
Reiterating the feeling of being taken over.
Taking over
Emphasizing the theme of being taken over.
Can you feel them coming closer?
Repeating the sense of a looming threat approaching.
Won't become some fallen soldier
Reaffirming the refusal to succumb as a soldier.
I'm slowly losing my composure
Acknowledging the gradual loss of control.
I can feel them taking over now
Confirming the sensation of being taken over.
Over now
Stating that the takeover is happening now.
And it's a feeling that I'll never forget
Describing an unforgettable feeling.
Black out the sky, black out my soul
Using darkness metaphorically to express despair.
They'll never be lit, never be touched ever
Emphasizing the permanence of untouched, unlit aspects.
I'm cold, I'm frozen in time, holding the line
Feeling emotionally cold and stagnant in time.
Taking back what is supposed to be mine
Asserting a reclaiming of what rightfully belongs.
I'm done with the shine, I creep in the dark
Rejecting superficial aspects like shine.
The only thing left beating's my heart
Highlighting the only remaining vital element, the heart.
Give me one more reason to start
Requesting a reason to initiate change or action.
And if they kill me this day, I never do but I'll pray
Contemplating potential sacrifice through prayer.
Get under my feet, under my skin and take me away
Expressing vulnerability to external influences.
(Can you feel?)
Possibly asking if the listener can feel the imminent danger.
Can you feel them coming closer?
Reiterating the refusal to be a defeated soldier.
Won't become some fallen soldier
Confirming the ongoing loss of composure.
I'm slowly losing my composure
Reaffirming the sensation of being taken over.
I can feel them taking over now
Repeating the theme of the external force taking over.
