Lyrics
Rapture, father.
Addressing a divine figure or authority.
You make our bed in suffering.
Attributing suffering to the actions of the addressed figure.
You want it all,
Desire to possess everything.
It's all for you.
All actions are dedicated to the addressed figure.
So make us weak,
Intentionally making individuals vulnerable.
It's what you do.
Implies that weakening others is part of the figure's nature.
The violence for your show,
Violence is entertainment for the addressed figure.
The promise you could never keep.
Failure to fulfill promises made by the addressed figure.
The side of you I never knew,
Discovering an unknown, darker aspect of the figure.
The trembling hand to feed the cure.
The figure's contribution to a solution while still causing harm.
How could I believe in you for so long,
Questioning past belief in the figure.
So long?
Reflecting on the duration of belief.
How could I make peace with you?
Struggling to find reconciliation with the figure.
You're so wrong.(so wrong)
Emphasizing the incorrectness of the figure's actions.
How could I believe.
Expressing disbelief in the figure.
I will not believe.
Firmly rejecting belief.
How could I believe in you so long?
Reiterating disbelief despite past belief.
Rebel, martyr.
Identifying with rebellion and sacrifice.
I'll die to look and be like you.
Willingness to emulate the figure, even at the cost of life.
You kneel me out of suffering,
Being freed from suffering by the figure's actions.
You bless our guns to feel secure.
Consecrating weapons for a false sense of safety.
The ocean spills your blood.
Symbolism of violence and sacrifice.
The sky is lit as darkness falls.
Imagery of a chaotic, transformative moment.
Your spaceship for the stars to come,
Expectation of a transcendent escape, leaving the vulnerable.
We'll leave behind the weak,
Leaving behind those deemed inferior.
The pure.
Leaving behind the untainted.
How could I believe in you for so long,
Reiteration of disbelief in the figure over time.
So long?
Reflecting on the duration of belief once more.
How could I make peace with you?
Struggle to find harmony or agreement.
You're so wrong.(so wrong)
Reaffirming the incorrectness of the figure.
How could I believe.
Rejection of belief in the figure.
I will not believe.
Firm denial of belief.
How could I believe in you so long?
Continued disbelief despite the past.
How could I believe in you for so long,
Continued questioning of belief duration.
So long?
Reflecting on the time invested in belief.
How could I make peace with you?
Difficulty in finding peace or resolution.
You're so wrong.(so wrong)
Emphasizing the figure's incorrectness once more.
How could I believe.
Reiteration of disbelief.
I will not believe.
Strongly refusing to believe in the figure.
How could I believe in you so long?
Reaffirming disbelief despite the duration of belief.
