Waiting for a Savior
Unveiling the Quest for a Hero: Queen of Dreams' 'Waiting for a Savior'
Lyrics
Since ancient times we've told our tales
Reflecting on the tradition of storytelling throughout history.
The songs were sung, a chosen one who would prevail
Describing a narrative where a chosen individual triumphs.
A man of superhuman might
Portraying a figure with extraordinary strength.
A curse undone and glory won, the world made right
Referencing overcoming a curse, achieving glory, and restoring balance to the world.
Why still waiting for a savior?
Raising a question about the continued expectation for a savior.
The prophets just as blind as you or I
Suggesting that even prophets lack clear vision or insight.
So where will you go when your hero doesn't show
Asking where one turns when the anticipated hero fails to appear.
And all your signs were only lights in the sky?
Casting doubt on the significance of perceived signs and symbols.
And now from ancient times remain
Acknowledging the persistence of ancient stories and conflicts.
Barbaric lore and holy wars we fight in vain
Commenting on the futility of engaging in barbaric and religious wars.
And with no path out of the gray
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and lack of direction.
Just our short sight without a light to guide our way
Describing a situation where there is no clear guidance.
Why still waiting for a savior?
Reiterating the questioning of the ongoing expectation for a savior.
The prophets just as blind as you or I
Emphasizing the fallibility of prophets, similar to ordinary individuals.
So where will you go when your hero doesn't show
Continuing the inquiry into one's actions when the hero fails to appear.
And all your signs were only lights
Diminishing the significance of perceived signs as mere lights.
Seeking glory in the violence, every war we wage
Criticizing the pursuit of glory through violent conflicts.
Searching the past for a garden or a golden age
Searching for an idealized past or a better era through history.
Speeding forward towards a future, with our fingers burned
Moving forward with consequences, having suffered from past mistakes.
Standing empty-eyed and grinning, with no lessons learned
Depicting a state of ignorance and disregard for past lessons.
Why still waiting for a savior?
Repeating the question about the continued expectation for a savior.
The prophets just as blind as you or I
Reiterating the theme of prophets lacking clear vision.
So where will you go when your hero doesn't show
Pondering the course of action when the anticipated hero fails to appear.
And all your signs were only lights in the sky?
Restating the idea that perceived signs were merely lights in the sky.
