Call To Prayer
Soul's Struggle: Silverback's Call To Prayer Unveiled
Lyrics
I feel dead
I feel emotionally numb or lifeless.
Somethin' 'bout the preacher said
The preacher's words have impacted or influenced me in some way.
I've been throwin' my time away for nickels and dimes
I've wasted my time on trivial things for little gain.
I'd bet my soul and a hundred more to keep it alive
I'm willing to sacrifice a lot, even my soul, to stay alive.
Pacifists scorn, yet I'm diggin' for more
Despite being peaceful, I'm seeking conflict or challenge.
Now I've got a few lines in the book of remorse
I have regrets, represented as lines in the book of remorse.
A body in the morgue, but my soul won't fork enough emotion
Physically dead, but emotionally detached or unaffected.
I've got a damned career in motion
I have a successful but damned career in progress.
So smoke another Cuban while we bow in devotion
Indulging in pleasures like smoking while showing devotion.
God's hand
A reference to divine intervention or guidance.
(Drink the wine and follow)
Encouragement to partake in religious rituals, possibly communion.
Substance
A mention of substance, possibly alluding to something intoxicating.
(Lift your head on high)
Encouragement to hold one's head high, despite challenges.
Shelter
A call to share sustenance or support with others.
(Break the bread and swallow)
Encouragement to partake in a communal act of breaking bread.
So, where's the paycheck?
Questioning the absence of financial reward or recognition.
Someone's gotta make it
Expressing the need for someone to achieve success.
My whole life, beggin' for the spotlight
A lifetime of seeking attention or fame has ended abruptly.
Now it's gone and taken
The spotlight has been taken away, leaving a void.
Reverend snaps back into place
A character named Reverend reasserts control or composure.
I'd gut that bitch if it meant I'd get a story at eight
Willingness to harm for the sake of a sensational story.
Well, someone said I should repent
Someone advises repentance for wrongdoings.
But, someone's gotta pay the rent, bitch
The need to earn a living takes precedence over repentance.
I'm a convicted parasite
Self-acknowledgment as a harmful, exploitative entity.
Not givin' in 'til my shit gets televised
Resisting change until personal issues are broadcasted widely.
Paralyzed by ambition with no sight
Feeling immobilized by ambition without clear direction.
Another night and I'm fixin' to die
Anticipating death while actively working towards goals.
Trade my mind for a third eye open and wide
Willing to trade normal perception for a deeper understanding.
Crucified by the demons inside
Suffering internal conflicts or struggles represented as demons.
Maybe it'll take a few tries but I'm gettin' mine
Determined to succeed, even if it takes multiple attempts.
So break your bread and pass me the wine
Invoking a religious ritual of sharing bread and wine.
God's hand
A repetition of the reference to divine intervention or guidance.
(Drink the wine and follow)
A repetition of the encouragement to partake in religious rituals.
Substance
A repetition of the mention of substance, possibly intoxicating.
(Lift your head on high)
A repetition of the encouragement to hold one's head high.
Shelter
A repetition of the call to share sustenance or support.
(Break the bread and swallow)
A repetition of the encouragement to partake in a communal act of breaking bread.
