In Desperation's Grip
In Desperation's Struggle: A Battle for Forgotten Heroes
Lyrics
Caught on the frontlines
Caught in the midst of conflict
No hope left this time
A sense of despair, no optimism remains
Face to the concrete
Physically pressed against the ground
The dust in my eyes
Sensory impairment due to debris
Where rotting bodies stretch
Deceased bodies extending in decay
In ten years they’ll forget
Anticipation that memories will fade over time
I’m out here for your cause
Engaged in the conflict for a cause
That is my one regret
Expressing remorse for the chosen cause
This is a never-ending war
A war without resolution or conclusion
So tell me what you’re
Seeking clarification on motivations
Fighting for
Questioning the purpose of the fight
You watch your life begin to slip
Observing one's life slipping away
In Desperation’s Grip
Desperation taking control
The enemy goes
Reference to the opposing force
Where weakening shows
Where weaknesses become evident
And for what cause?
Questioning the purpose of the adversary
They follow orders
Following orders unquestioningly
Among the burnt-out cars
Amidst destroyed vehicles
Lay dead men bearing arms
Lifeless bodies carrying weapons
Under your rule we were
Under a governing system, life was already lost
Already dead from the start
Stating that the war is perpetual
This is a never-ending war
Asking for the motivation behind the struggle
So tell me what you’re
Seeking clarity on the purpose of the fight
Fighting for
Observing life slipping away in desperation
You watch your life begin to slip
Desperation taking control once again
In Desperation’s Grip
Reiterating the theme of desperation
When I see the back of you
Expressing intent to harm from behind
I’ll shoot a bullet through
Utilizing a shooting metaphor
360 No-Scope
A gaming reference suggesting a lack of escape
I leave you no hope
Ensuring there is no possibility of survival
My weapons’ mythical
Claiming superiority of weapons
Yours are uncommon
Highlighting the uncommon nature of opponent's weapons
You are a modder
Referring to one as a game modifier
But I am Herobrine
Asserting a stronger, mythical identity
Caught on the frontlines
Repetition of the dire situation on the frontlines
No hope left this time
Reiteration of hopelessness in the current situation
My body’s bleeding
Physical harm with evident consequences
It’s run out of time
Life nearing its end
While all your lives are spent
Sacrificing lives to defend freedom
Your freedom I’ll defend
Pledge to defend others despite personal cost
I’m up here for you all
Promising not to forget the sacrifice
That I will not forget
Highlighting the perpetual nature of the war
This is a never-ending war
Seeking justification for the ongoing conflict
So tell me what you’re
Asking for the motivation behind the struggle
Fighting for
Observing life slipping away in desperation
You watch your life begin to slip
Reiterating the theme of desperation
In Desperation’s Grip
Emphasizing the hold of desperation
