Armour
Embracing Resilience: VNV Nation's Anthem of Strength and Redemption
Lyrics
Guard and armour protect me when I falter
Seeking protection and support from a guardian or defense mechanism when facing difficulties.
When I tire
Expressing weariness and fatigue.
Of a world that leaves me cold inside
Frustration with a world that is emotionally cold and unfulfilling.
In darkness be the sound and light
In challenging times, seeking comfort in the presence of positive elements like sound and light.
Be the beacon, be the guide
Asking for guidance and direction, wanting to be led by positive influences.
In the cause of all you justify
Being supportive of causes that are morally justifiable.
When I wander and far I stray
Feeling lost and distant, seeking a way back.
When this world has failed me
Expressing disappointment with the world's failures.
Give me strength and heal my soul
Requesting strength and healing for the soul in times of vulnerability.
When I'm broken, when I'm lost
Acknowledging moments of being broken or lost.
And roads seem neverending
Feeling stuck in challenging situations with no apparent resolution.
Be the path that brings me home
Seeking a path or solution that leads back to a sense of belonging or comfort.
When it feels I can't go on
Expressing the difficulty of continuing in tough situations.
Let your armour cover me
Asking for protection and coverage during challenging times.
Time relentless takes no sides
Reflecting on the impartiality of time, affecting everyone equally.
Mortals burdened, lost and blind
Commenting on the struggles and lack of direction experienced by mortals.
Tread a dream, a gift we vilify
Describing dreams as a precious gift, despite often being misunderstood or devalued.
Where tempests rage upon the seas
Using stormy seas as a metaphor for life's challenges.
And sirens call to lure and lead
Warning about the allure of distractions that can lead astray.
Fragile hopes on vessels run aground
Expressing vulnerability in the face of dashed hopes.
When I wander and far I stray
Reiterating the sense of being lost and seeking a way back.
When this world has failed me
Reaffirming disappointment with the world's shortcomings.
Give me strength and heal my soul
Repeating the plea for strength and soul healing.
When I'm broken when I'm lost
Acknowledging moments of brokenness and being lost.
And roads seem neverending
Describing the seemingly endless nature of challenging paths.
Be the path that brings me home
Reiterating the desire for a guiding path leading home.
When it feels I can't go on
Expressing the difficulty of persevering when it feels impossible.
Let your armour cover me
Repeating the request for protective armor during tough times.
When I wander and far I stray
Continuing the theme of feeling lost and seeking support.
When this world has failed me
Reaffirming disappointment with the world's failures.
Give me strength and heal my soul
Repeating the plea for strength and soul healing.
When it feels I can't go on
Expressing the overwhelming feeling of being unable to continue.
When it feels I can't go on
Repeating the sentiment of feeling unable to persevere.
Let your armour cover me
Reiterating the request for protective armor during tough times.
