Fallen
Embracing Fate: A Journey Through Deception and Redemption
Lyrics
I'm tied in a tangle of lies
Feeling entangled in a web of deceitful narratives
Where my existence will burn
Expressing a fear of annihilation or destruction of self
The light smothered the truth
Truth obscured by brightness or overwhelming forces
as the fire embraced the darkness
Symbolic imagery of light (truth) being overshadowed by darkness (deception)
They stained my soul black
Feeling morally tainted or corrupted
Sold for nothing
Feeling undervalued or betrayed
Why was I the only answer?
Questioning why one is solely responsible or held accountable
You exiled me
Being excluded or banished
Give me back my dreams
Desiring the return of one's aspirations or ambitions
I just want to exist in peace
Seeking a peaceful existence
Will you betray me once again in paradise?
Fear of being betrayed repeatedly, even in an ideal state
I embrace my fate
Acceptance of predetermined destiny or outcome
But a light calls my name
Feeling drawn towards an illuminating force
And leads me
Guidance provided by the aforementioned light
I've become the monster
Identity crisis—seeing oneself as a monstrous figure
Sunk in the deepest deception
Being deeply immersed in deceit or falsehood
Hidden away from the sunlight
Metaphorically hidden or removed from positivity
Breathless
A sense of suffocation or inability to breathe
Why have I been tricked into distress
Feeling deceived and distressed by circumstances
Chained to beliefs and forgotten
Feeling constrained by beliefs that are disregarded or abandoned
When it's your choices
Highlighting personal responsibility for outcomes
That led us to the grave
Implies personal decisions leading to a negative outcome for all
I embrace my fate
Reiteration of accepting fate
But a light calls my name
Reference to being called by an illuminating force
And leads me
Being guided by the aforementioned light once more
I'm tied in a tangle of lies
Repetition of feeling trapped in a web of falsehoods
Where my existence will burn
Reiteration of fearing annihilation or destruction of self
The light smothered the truth
Repetition of truth being overshadowed by overwhelming forces
as the fire embraced the darkness
Reiteration of light (truth) being overwhelmed by darkness (deception)
In this world of shadows we've lost our sight
Lost perspective in a world filled with darkness
But if we close our eyes we'll find our light
Optimism about finding clarity by shutting off external influences
We are the fallen
Identification with those who have fallen from grace
And tonight
Uncertainty about the direction or destiny of the fallen
Where is our path, where is our throne?
Questioning the whereabouts of their rightful place or authority
How many times we lost direction
Reflecting on numerous instances of losing their way
Only the wind will bring us home
Dependence on an intangible force (wind) to guide them home
We are the fallen
Reiteration of identifying as fallen from grace
We are the fire
Asserting their nature as a force to reckon with
We are the fallen
Reiteration of identifying as fallen from grace
We are the fire
Reiteration of asserting their nature as a force to reckon with
