As Friends Fall
Broken Humanity: Unveiling the Painful Reality in 'As Friends Fall'
Lyrics
An image of humanity twisted and broken down
An observation of a distorted and deteriorating image of humanity.
My pity quickly turns to hatred
Feelings of compassion transform into intense dislike.
As I watch them fall to their knees
Witnessing others experiencing a downfall, possibly due to their actions.
Controlled by a crutch
Suggesting dependence on a support system or addiction.
You're broken - you're broken down
Describing someone as emotionally and physically shattered.
I've seen you rise - I've seen you fall
Observing the individual's cycles of success and failure.
Won't show remorse - it was your call
Refusing to express regret, as the consequences were a result of their choices.
But still I can't deny, I can't deny it hurts
Admitting that despite the negative emotions, the pain is acknowledged.
I remember how much it meant
Recalling the significance of the past.
I remember just what you said
Remembering specific words or promises made.
There's no excuse for your abuse
Rejecting any justification for mistreatment or harm caused.
There's no rhyme for the line you feed us
Highlighting the lack of meaningful explanation or justification.
About growing up, can't hide this pride inside
Expressing difficulty in concealing the inner pride while growing up.
As I watch them slowly die
Observing the gradual decline and suffering of others.
Your skin is tainted by your promises broken
Connecting physical appearance with unfulfilled promises.
How can you live with yourself
Raising questions about self-awareness and guilt.
How can they live with themselves
Questioning the ability of others to coexist with their actions.
How can you live with yourself
Reiterating the internal struggle of living with one's actions.
How can they live with themselves
Questioning how others can live with the consequences of their actions.
Your theories of moderation
Criticizing misguided beliefs or strategies for balance and control.
A plan destined to fail
Declaring the inevitable failure of a proposed plan or ideology.
Now hateful words and insulting stares
Describing the use of negativity and judgment to rationalize corruption.
Are used to justify their corruption
Further elaboration on the justification and rationalization of corruption.
