Grime of Your Gods
Unveiling the Harsh Truth: "Grime of Your Gods" Revelation
Lyrics
What is this that I feel?
Questioning and expressing an emotional experience
Born into life by default
Reflecting on being born into existence without personal choice
Now I haven't seen it all
Acknowledging limited life experiences
But I am sure that it's not that special
Doubting the significance of those experiences
Quite contrary to what's been told
Contradicting common beliefs or narratives
I don't think that he loves us at all
Expressing skepticism about being loved by a higher power
Admittedly, there’s truth in accepted lies
Acknowledging some truth in commonly accepted falsehoods
The hate of our kind is the fault
Blaming the faults of humanity on collective hatred
You gave me life, and that's fine but
Acknowledging the gift of life
You took it back
Highlighting the loss of life
Now face the truth; your hate
Encouraging facing the truth of one's own hatred
Is nothing but the grime of your love
Describing hate as a residue of love
Your god
Referring to the source of love as a god
Cowards convert the weak
Criticizing the conversion of the weak by the cowardly
It's okay; I was too
Admitting personal vulnerability
But know the moment that you let go
Emphasizing the liberating moment of letting go
Is the moment you'll be set free
Stressing freedom through detachment
Ooh, you gave me life
Acknowledging the gift of life again
I don’t mean to offend
Expressing a disclaimer before sharing a personal perspective
But I think, then something clicks
Noting a change in perspective leading to renewed dislike
And I hate everyone again
Expressing a general hatred towards everyone
You gave me life, and that's fine but
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the gift of life
I want it back
Expressing a desire to reverse the gift of life
Now face the truth; your fear
Encouraging facing the truth of one's own fear
Is nothing but the grime of your love
Describing fear as a residue of love (similar to hate in line 12)
Your god
Referring to the source of fear as a god
It was the hate that fueled us all
Attributing collective actions to the fuel of hatred
And once revered but never took the call
Describing a past reverence that was not reciprocated
Left us out; we were beasts on our own
Portraying isolation and independence as beasts
And now we've finally found home
Expressing a sense of finding a home in solitude
Alone
Emphasizing the theme of being alone
