Bride's Last Kiss
Confronting Shadows: Embracing Fear and Seeking Truth in Mortal Treason's 'Bride's Last Kiss'
Lyrics
Steadily it pumps, over and over,
Describing the steady and repetitive nature of something, possibly the heartbeat.
Knowing only the present, past forgotten, futures unknown.
Emphasizing a focus on the present, with the past forgotten and the future uncertain.
Deep inside we all have fear.
Highlighting the universal presence of fear within everyone.
Not knowing what's next scares us all.
Expressing the common fear of the unknown and uncertainty about the future.
If I could only overcome this beast.
Desire to overcome a significant challenge or obstacle.
It has become my life's goal.
Declaring the pursuit of overcoming the mentioned challenge as a life's goal.
Your pills, your weak minds can't heal me now.
Rejecting the potential healing power of external factors (pills, weak minds).
I must walk alone.
Choosing to face challenges and walk a difficult path alone.
Your thoughts of me, they'll fade away.
Anticipating the fading away of others' thoughts or opinions about the speaker.
What's real will remain.
Asserting the permanence of what is real, despite the fading thoughts of others.
Why all that's false rots away.
Reflecting on the natural decay of falsehoods, suggesting a focus on authenticity.
Walk away from yourself.
Encouraging a self-discovery journey by walking away from one's own false perceptions.
Spit in the face of all men.
Symbolically rejecting societal norms or expectations by spitting in the face of all men.
Turn your head up to the sky.
Encouraging defiance and a shift in perspective by looking up to the sky.
Confront the coward that lurks beneath the shadows.
Challenging the hidden fears and weaknesses that exist within oneself.
Call him out.
Urging confrontation and acknowledgment of one's own cowardice.
Slap his face.
Suggesting a direct confrontation with one's own fears by metaphorically slapping its face.
Walk away.
Choosing to walk away after confronting and acknowledging the truth.
The truth remains the same.
Asserting the consistency and unchanging nature of the truth.
