Vultures
City of Deceit: A Journey Through Shadows
Lyrics
There's a thought in the back of my mind
Contemplating a thought lingering in the mind.
And it tells me that I'm mistaken
Feeling a sense of error or misunderstanding.
Once I thought I was no longer blind
Once believed to see clearly but now uncertain.
But my safety has now been shaken
Feeling a loss of safety and stability.
I detect that I'm back on the road
Realizing a return to a journey or path.
And I need one more destination
Seeking another destination in life.
On my back there's a new heavy load
Bearing a new burden or challenge.
And I carry it to the station
Taking the burden to a specific destination.
Find a city without pity
Searching for a city lacking compassion.
Where they laugh at your decay
Describing a place where decay is mocked.
Where the sidewalks aren't too pretty
Emphasizing the unattractiveness of the surroundings.
Where your thoughts are led astray
Highlighting the diversion of thoughts in the city.
On my way I just stare at the sun
Gazing at the sun, possibly attempting to change perspective.
And I force it to change its color
Symbolizing a desire to influence change.
Can't you see there's a man on the run
Alerting others to a person on the run.
Why do you think that you should follow?
Questioning the logic of followers.
And the stars when they come out at night
Downplaying the significance of stars for guidance.
I don't need them now for my guidance
Rejecting external guidance in the fading twilight.
And the bars in the fading twilight
Bars are not an option for seeking refuge.
They are no option for my hiding
Reiterating the unpleasant city without compassion.
Find a city without pity
Continuing the theme of a heartless city.
Where they laugh at your decay
Reiterating the mockery of decay.
Where the sidewalks aren't too pretty
Re-emphasizing the unattractiveness of sidewalks.
Where your thoughts are led astray
Underlining the diversion of thoughts in the city.
Find a city without answers
Seeking a city with no clear solutions.
Where they gamble for your skin
Describing a place where risks are taken for personal gain.
Where there's only one opinion
Highlighting a lack of diversity in opinions.
And the lawyers sit and grin
Portraying lawyers as indifferent to the situation.
Vultures all around me
Surrounded by opportunistic and predatory individuals.
They will track down all the souls
Pursuing and exploiting vulnerable individuals.
That have been washed away
Tracking down those who have been defeated.
Vultures all around me
Reiterating the presence and actions of vultures.
And I'm left here to explore
Being left to confront and understand the aftermath.
How they have won the day
Reflecting on the success of the vultures in their pursuit.
Vultures still descending
Persisting descent of vultures, symbolizing ongoing challenges.
In a never-ending comedy
Describing a continuous and painful cycle.
Of pain and guilt
Highlighting the dark comedy of pain and guilt.
Vultures run for power
Expressing vultures seeking power in a critical moment.
The eleventh hour now
Signifying a crucial and possibly dire moment.
Has come, don't fade away
Urging not to disappear or lose significance.
Don't fade away
Repetition of the plea not to fade away.
Don't fade away
Reiteration of the plea not to disappear or lose relevance.
