Gates of Steel
Unveiling the Human Symphony: Gates of Steel by Patrick Sweany
Lyrics
Twist away the gates of steel
Encouragement to overcome obstacles or barriers (symbolized as gates of steel).
Unlock the secret voice
Discover or access hidden or suppressed truths.
Give in to ancient noise
Surrender to primal or ancient instincts/sounds.
Take a chance, a brand new dance
Take a risk and embrace a new way of life or action.
Twist away the gates of steel
Repeated encouragement to break through obstacles.
Twist away
Reinforcement of the idea to overcome barriers.
Now twist and shout
Urging to express oneself loudly and boldly.
The Earth, it moves too slow
Implying dissatisfaction with the pace of progress.
But the Earth is all we know
Recognition that human understanding is limited to Earth.
We pay to play the human way
Implies the necessity of conforming to societal norms by paying a price.
Twist away the gates of steel
Reiteration of breaking through barriers or limitations.
A man is real
Affirmation of human existence as genuine and not artificial.
Not made of steel!
Humans are not composed of unfeeling, rigid materials.
But the Earth is all we know
Reiteration of human limitation to Earth's knowledge.
We pay to play the human way
Restating the concept of conforming to societal norms.
Twist away the gates of steel
Repeated encouragement to break through obstacles.
The beginning was the end
Suggests cyclical nature where the beginning is also the end.
Of everything now
Suggests that the end encompasses everything.
The ape regards his tail
Metaphorically describes humanity's fixation on trivial matters.
He's stuck on it
Portrays being stuck or fixated on trivial issues.
Repeats until he fails
Repetition leading to failure due to an unproductive cycle.
Half a goon and half a god
Contrasting qualities within a person (foolishness and divinity).
A man's not made of steel
Reiteration that humans are not emotionless or rigid.
Twist away
Reinforcement to break through barriers.
Now twist and shout
Encouragement to express oneself boldly and loudly.
The Earth, it moves too slow
Expressing dissatisfaction with the pace of progress.
But the earth is all we know
Reiterating human limitation to Earth's knowledge.
We pay to play the human way
Restating the concept of conforming to societal norms.
Twist away the gates of steel
Encouragement to break through obstacles.
A man is real
Affirmation that a human's reality is defined by their feelings.
That's how he feels!
Asserting that emotions shape human reality.
