Lyrics

how can you laugh when your house is on fire

Expressing disbelief at finding amusement in the face of a serious crisis.

how can you dance to the trumpets of death

Questioning the ability to celebrate when surrounded by impending doom or negativity.

how can you laugh when your sisters are drowning

Questioning the appropriateness of laughter when others are facing distress or peril.

how can you dance with blood on your shoes

Challenging the morality of dancing while being stained with the consequences of violence.


your joy is my rage

Stating that the happiness of others leads to personal anger.

your ignorance my downfall

Viewing the ignorance of others as a personal downfall.

i’m looking for silence

Expressing a desire for peace and quiet in the midst of internal struggles.

and the demons in my head are screaming for redemption

Describing inner turmoil with demons seeking redemption through screams.


your hypocrisy is endless

Highlighting the perceived endless nature of hypocritical behavior in others.

your joy will pass

Suggesting that the joy of others is temporary and will fade.

i’m looking for forgiveness

Expressing a personal quest for forgiveness.

and the demons in my head are screaming for redemption

Reiterating inner struggles with demons seeking redemption through screams.


how can i live in this world of endless pain

Expressing difficulty in living in a world filled with constant suffering.

how can i find salvation without execution

Questioning the possibility of salvation without facing consequences or taking action.

where can i find peace on this fucked (up) place called earth

Expressing frustration with the lack of peace in the troubled world.

how can i help without blood on my hands

Expressing a dilemma about helping others without getting involved in violence.


you'll soon be laughing out of the other side of your face.

Suggesting that those currently joyful will soon experience a change in fortune.

your joy is just fake, cause no human being makes this world a better place

Asserting that others' joy is insincere, as no one truly improves the world.

you‘re looking for the meaning of life but the truth is there isn’t one

Commenting on the elusive nature of the meaning of life.

even the sweetest poison will lead to death

Metaphorically stating that even seemingly pleasant things can lead to negative outcomes.

even the biggest pain is just the beginning

Highlighting that great pain is only the beginning of deeper struggles.

soon your paradise will go up in flames

Predicting the inevitable destruction of an idyllic state or paradise.

soon your happiness will give way to endless suffering

Suggesting that happiness will give way to prolonged suffering.


how can i live in this world of endless pain

Repeating the difficulty of living in a world filled with constant suffering.

how can i find salvation without execution

Reiterating the challenge of finding salvation without facing consequences.

where can i find peace on this fucked (up) place called earth

Repeating the frustration with the lack of peace in the troubled world.

how can i help without blood on my hands

Reiterating the dilemma of helping without engaging in violence.


your joy is my rage

Reiterating that others' joy incites personal anger.

your ignorance my downfall

Reiterating that the ignorance of others leads to personal downfall.

I’m looking for silence
