Bringers of the Light
Emancipation Echoes: Defying Chains in MirrorGrinn's 'Bringers of the Light'
Lyrics
Four walls surround me, staind in blood like paint
Feeling confined, surrounded by four walls tainted with blood, resembling a disturbing painting.
Thought they could control me, tried to turn me to their saint
Belief that others attempted to manipulate and transform the speaker into a saint against their will.
A million miles from nowhere not a face in sight
A sense of isolation and emptiness, being far from any recognizable presence.
They tied me down to sew me to the flag they thought was right
Imprisonment and forced allegiance to a flag that was perceived as righteous by others.
Why am i here, think they can save my life
Questioning the purpose of existence and skepticism about others' ability to save the speaker's life.
What do I fear, the bringers of the light
Fearful of the "bringers of the light," suggesting a negative perception of those who claim to bring enlightenment.
Your thoughts were shrouded, because you wear that mask
Observation that others conceal their true thoughts behind a mask.
Your eternal noose has fastened tight, there's no way that you'll last
Metaphorically, a tight noose representing an inescapable fate, implying a bleak future.
Why do you trust this holy one, he forces you to kneel
Questioning trust in a supposed holy figure who enforces submission through kneeling.
Your confusion is a blatant fact that your lord isn't real
Asserting that confusion arises from the evident falsehood of the worshipped lord.
Why am i here, think they can save my life
Reiteration of doubt about others' ability to save the speaker's life.
What do I fear, the bringers of the light
Repeating the fear of the "bringers of the light," emphasizing a consistent apprehension.
I see the cage that I was foced to live inside
Awareness of the metaphorical cage the speaker was forced to live in.
I wanted the freedom to be anything I liked
Desire for freedom to be oneself, contrasting with the imposed restrictions.
And i thought that it would be much easier than this
Initial optimism about the ease of achieving desired freedom.
But it seems that my whole life is constatly dismissed
Realization that life is constantly ignored or dismissed, suggesting ongoing struggles.
I see the cage that I was foced to live inside
Reiteration of the metaphorical cage, emphasizing its impact on the speaker's life.
I wanted the freedom to be anything I liked
Repeating the desire for freedom and the belief that it should be easier to attain.
And i thought that it would be much easier than this
Persisting hope that freedom would be more achievable than the current difficult reality.
But it seems that my whole life is constatly dismissed
Acknowledgment that the speaker's entire life is consistently ignored or dismissed.
