Lyrics

From your gilded throne

Refers to a position of power and wealth.

In your gilded home

Describes a luxurious living environment.

With the chalice of fools

Symbolizes indulgence and arrogance.

And no need to atone

Suggests a lack of remorse or need for redemption.


You'll be cursing the day

Anticipating regret for attempting to seize something.

You tried to take it away

Regret for trying to take control.

There must be some kind of way

Expresses a search for a solution amidst chaos.

We make it out of the fray

Seeking a way out of a difficult situation.


There must be some shred of your soul

Yearning for a connection to one's inner self.

(This time it's different the loss of control

Signifies a unique loss of control.

You know the path is falling along)

Reflects on the unpredictable journey.

Don't lose yourself in pursuit of control

Warning against losing oneself in the pursuit of power.

(This time it's different, the loss of control)

Reiterates the distinctive nature of the loss of control.


If you could see through the storm

Encourages self-reflection amidst chaos.

And see the damage you've done

Acknowledges the consequences of one's actions.

You'd find the worst of it on

Damage is most evident in the world one claims to possess.

The world you think that you own

Highlighting the impact on the perceived realm of influence.

I've got a reason to fly over what you leave behind

Expresses a motivation to overcome obstacles.

You'd better reach for a sign

Encourages seeking guidance or signals.

Or you can toe the line

Emphasizes a choice between conformity or rebellion.


Miles above the commune

Elevated above societal norms with composure.

With focus and calm

Engaging in activities with a sense of control.

You're dancing to tunes

Dancing to the dangerous rhythm of impending danger.

Of a ticking bomb

Metaphor for engaging with volatile situations.


The masses are screaming

Masses are vocalizing, focus on positive feedback.

Just focus on the cheers

Advises concentrating on supportive reactions.

The tightrope is fraying

The situation is becoming precarious.

But you've done this for year

Experience and expertise in navigating challenges.


There must be some shred of your soul

Reiteration of the need to preserve one's inner self.

(This time it's different the loss of control

Reiterates the unique nature of the loss of control.

You know the path is falling along)

Continued reflection on the unpredictable path.

Don't lose yourself in pursuit of control

Warning against sacrificing identity for control.

(This time it's different, the loss of control)

Reaffirms the distinctiveness of the loss of control.


If you could see through the storm

Encourages clarity amidst turmoil.

And see the damage you've done

Recognition of the impact of actions on others.

You'd find the worst of it on

The most significant consequences on one's claimed territory.

The world you think that you own

Highlighting the repercussions in the perceived world.

I've got a reason to fly over what you leave behind

Justification for transcending past mistakes.

You'd better reach for a sign

Seeking a positive indication or guidance.

Or you can toe the line

Reiterates the choice between conformity and rebellion.


Toe the line

Emphasizes the imperative to conform or comply.

Toe the line

Reiteration of the directive to conform or comply.
