Erase This
Erase This: Unraveling the Web of Deceit in Lamb of God's Powerful Lyrics
Lyrics
Justify, a means to an ending only just the beginning
Initiating an action as a means to an end, signaling the start of a process.
To legitimize the conflict that's rendering the interaction so useless
Seeking to justify and give legitimacy to a conflict that renders interactions futile.
Futility defined, watching you wait for the stars to align
Describing futility, observing someone waiting for unlikely circumstances.
So clueless, so simple it should be a crime
Expressing simplicity to the point of being considered a crime.
And I can't bring myself to save you this time
Unable to intervene or help this time, indicating a sense of resignation.
Keep me in your sights, possessed by the spite, woeful irrelevance
Being targeted with spite, characterized by a sense of woeful irrelevance.
So quick to ignite, impulse to indict, defense for incompetence
Quick to provoke, with an impulse to accuse and defend against incompetence.
For what it's worth, it was over before it began
Acknowledging the end of something before it even began.
Blind in your search, no one to guide your hand
Blindly searching without guidance or direction.
For what it's worth, you crossed a line in the sand
Crossing a metaphorical line in the sand, implying a boundary violation.
Cut off, locked out, as it fell right through your hands
Feeling excluded or rejected as something slips away.
Victimize, cast off, forgotten daughter, play the martyr
Portraying oneself as a victim, forgotten and abandoned, playing the martyr.
So they sympathize with your condition and your position
Eliciting sympathy for one's condition and position in life.
It's strategic how your misfortune became so fortunate
Highlighting the strategic nature of turning misfortune into advantage.
Oh, it must be torture keeping up with it
Commenting on the perceived difficulty of keeping up with such a strategy.
Consider me disengaged and find a better character for your stage
Expressing disengagement and a desire for a more suitable character on the stage.
Only ever more, still keeping the score, is there enough for you?
Continuing to accumulate without satisfaction, questioning if it's ever enough.
Keep one thing for sure, stay pure saboteur, it's simply what you do
Encouraging a disruptive role, being a pure saboteur as a consistent behavior.
For what it's worth, it was over before it began
Reiterating that the situation was doomed from the start.
Blind in your search, no one to guide your hand
Searching blindly without anyone to provide guidance.
For what it's worth, you crossed a line in the sand
Emphasizing the crossing of a metaphorical line, suggesting a significant error.
Cut off, locked out, as it fell right through your hands
Experiencing a loss or failure as something slips through one's grasp.
Erase this, replace this with something to have hope in
Advocating for a reset or replacement of the current situation with something hopeful.
Sever all ties that bind, the circle will be broken
Advocating for the severance of binding ties, breaking a problematic cycle.
Keep me in your sights, possessed by spite, woeful irrelevance
Being a target of spite again, characterized by woeful irrelevance.
So quick to ignite, impulse to indict, defense for incompetence
Quick to provoke, with an impulse to accuse and defend against incompetence (repeated).
For what it's worth, it was over before it began
Reiterating the premature end of something before it began.
Blind in your search, no one to guide your hand
Continuing to search blindly without guidance (repeated).
For what it's worth, you crossed a line in the sand
Emphasizing the crossing of a metaphorical line, suggesting a significant error (repeated).
Cut off, locked out, as it fell right through your hands
Experiencing a loss or failure as something slips through one's grasp (repeated).
