Pillars of Lies
Pillars of Deceit: Unveiling the Human Abyss
Lyrics
I almost became human
The speaker felt close to being human, almost achieving a sense of humanity.
Discovering where I was
Realizing their location or situation.
Lost in your realm
Feeling lost within someone else's world or domain.
Within walls made of hope
Metaphorical walls representing optimism or positive beliefs.
A solid construction
These walls are sturdy and strong.
Held together with lies and deceit
The walls are maintained by untruths and dishonesty.
Supporting the course of your life
Supporting and enabling the direction of the person's life.
Guiding you to salvation
Leading the individual toward salvation or a better life.
You built a heaven around me
Another person constructed an idyllic environment for the speaker.
Setting it all on fire
Destroying the ideal world or situation deliberately.
Crumbling
Describing the speaker's state of crumbling, being bound to lies, and the resulting breakdown.
Screeching
-Bound to the pillars of lies
-Breaking
-Fading
-Bound to the pillars of lies
-Now I'm becoming inhuman
Transformation of the speaker into feeling less human, lost in a desolate setting, with walls of despair maintained by deception.
Discovering where I am
-Lost in your ruins
-Walls that are made of despair
-A crooked construction
-Held together with lies and deceit
-Supporting the course of your life
-Guiding you to emptiness
-You built a heaven around me
Another's construction of paradise, now being destroyed, leading to the speaker's loss of desire.
Setting it all on fire
-You built these heavens around me
-Burning all my desire
-Crumbling
Repeated description of the breakdown, being bound to lies, and the ensuing deterioration.

-Dust is rising high
Imagery of dust rising, vision blurring, and descending into a metaphorical hell.
Vision getting nigh
-Falling into this hell
-Going under
-You built a heaven around me
Reiteration of the destruction, being bound to lies, and the ongoing deterioration.
Setting it all on fire
-You built these heavens around me
-Burning all my desire
