Roots Unearthed: A Tale of Revenge, Sacrifice, and Redemption
Lyrics
Revenge is my name, and I’m here to stay, understanding seems to be blown away
Expressing a commitment to revenge, with a sense of permanence, as understanding or empathy is perceived to be lost.
I kept myself laid away beneath the surface waiting for the fire from above to fall
Remaining hidden, anticipating a transformative event or crisis from above.
Because all the things you’ve learnt about me will be forgotten
Forewarning that information about the person will be disregarded or overlooked.
All the stuff you were forced to leave behind
Acknowledging abandonment of possessions or aspects of one's life due to external forces.
Wind will sweep all these false promises away
Symbolic reference to the wind eliminating false assurances or commitments.
Memories stuck inside a spinning wheel, frozen feelings trapped in your brain
Depicting memories trapped in a cycle, with emotions frozen in the mind.
What you are is what you get
Stating that one's true nature is evident and not hidden.
It’s like coming back to my roots
Returning to one's origins or fundamental aspects, possibly with a sense of nostalgia.
I no longer see what kind of use you’re thinking for me
Expressing a lack of understanding regarding the purpose or utility that others see in the speaker.
A bible in my hands and a gun in my pants
Describing a juxtaposition of religious symbolism (bible) and violence (gun).
Sacrificed, humiliated and immortalized, clotted blood pumped through crystal bodies
Depicting a state of sacrifice, humiliation, and immortality with vivid imagery of blood and crystal bodies.
Because all the things you’ve learnt about me will be forgotten
Reiterating that information about the person will be disregarded or overlooked.
All the stuff you were forced to leave behind
Repeating the idea of abandoning possessions or aspects of one's life due to external forces.
Memories stuck inside a spinning wheel, frozen feelings trapped in your brain
Reiterating the concept of memories trapped in a cycle, with emotions frozen in the mind.
What you are is what you get
Reaffirming that one's true nature is evident and not hidden.
You’re fed by your own fear
Indicating that the person is influenced or sustained by their own fears.
Did you think I’ve found a way to pass away without sorrow
Pondering if there is a way to depart without sorrow, possibly contemplating a detached exit.
I can’t wait to bring them out among the dead
Expressing anticipation or eagerness to confront or reveal something among the dead.
Did you think I’ve found my way to say good-bye to everything you wished me
Questioning whether the speaker has found a way to bid farewell to the desires or expectations of others.
What you get is what you ruined
Asserting that the consequences or outcome one faces are a result of their own actions.
