Lyrics
"It was told that conviction never dies
Conviction is believed to be enduring, never fading.
Yet there was a sense of numbness and loss of emotion"
Despite this belief, there's a feeling of numbness and a lack of emotion.
Look at my face and fall away bleeding black decision
Asking someone to look and see the consequences of a difficult decision, causing pain and despair.
I am the one unfortunate son knee deep in division
Feeling like the unfortunate one, deeply entrenched in conflict and separation.
Look at my face, stare in my eyes, witness what never dies
Inviting someone to witness the enduring nature of something unseen before.
Crave indifference my own
Desiring indifference, detachment from emotions.
System enslaved and stoned
Feeling trapped within a system and heavily influenced by it, possibly by substance abuse.
Fractured and burned the world is turned
The world is shattered and damaged.
The arrogant feed the fascists
The arrogant ones empower oppressive ideologies.
Hate is front page stacked in their graves
Hate is prevalent and prominently displayed, leading to many deaths.
Disposable lives have vanished
People considered expendable have disappeared or been disregarded.
I've made indifference my own
Embracing indifference as a personal stance.
System enslaved and stoned
Continuing the theme of feeling trapped and influenced by a controlling system.
If everything is frozen, nothing feels the same
A sense of everything being stagnant, leading to a lack of feeling.
If the martyr is the chosen, welcome to the hollow game
Suggesting that being a martyr leads to an empty, meaningless existence.
Look at my faith and count the days
Inviting scrutiny of personal beliefs and the passing of time.
The opulent train, the tragic
A contrast between luxurious excess and tragic circumstances.
Torture reborn through hate and scorn
Reviving suffering and pain through hate and disdainful behavior.
In arrogant ways impassive
Describing arrogance as a passive and unfeeling attitude.
Look at my face, stare in my eyes, witness what never dies
Repeatedly urging someone to witness something unseen before in the speaker's eyes.
Crave indifference my own
Expressing a desire for personal indifference.
System enslaved and stoned
Feeling trapped within a system, possibly due to substance abuse.
If everything is frozen, nothing feels the same
Reiterating the feeling of everything being stagnant, leading to emotional numbness.
If the martyr is the chosen, welcome to the hollow game
Reinforcing the idea that being a martyr leads to a hollow, empty existence.
If everything is frozen, nothing feels the same
Continuing the theme of emotional stagnation and numbness.
If the martyr is the chosen, welcome to the hollow game
Reinforcing the idea that being a martyr leads to an empty, meaningless existence.
If everything is frozen, only gods can feel the shame
Implying that only higher beings can experience shame if everything remains frozen and unchanged.
If the circle is unbroken, welcome to the hollow game
Suggesting a perpetual cycle where emptiness and hollowness persist.
