Gathering Storm
Unveiling the Apocalypse: We Are Numbers' Ominous Reflection on Self-Destruction
Lyrics
So let me tell you a tale
Introducing a narrative or story.
A tale about this god forsaken life
Describing life as forsaken by a higher power.
A tale that you should probably keep in mind
Suggesting the importance of the upcoming story.
About the eyes of the world, they are going blind
Expressing a concern about a global lack of awareness.
This mountain called life, so fucking hard to climb
Life is depicted as a challenging mountain to climb.
Your heart your soul
Raising questions about the true nature of one's heart and soul.
Are they what you thought they were?
Questioning the authenticity of one's heart and soul.
Your heart your soul
Repeating the questioning of self-control.
Are you really in control?
Challenging the sense of control over one's life.
The tide is coming so brace yourselves
Warning about an impending challenge or crisis.
All these voices in my head
Reference to conflicting thoughts or influences.
Keep whispering sweet tales to me
Alluding to external influences shaping perceptions.
They keep telling me that the world will end. Soon.
Anticipating an apocalyptic future.
Oh, you see my friend they might not speak false tales
Suggesting the possibility of truth in the warnings.
Our self-destructive personalities will bring the end
Attributing the end to self-destructive behaviors.
Will bring the end
Reiterating the self-destructive path leading to the end.
So maybe when you wake up from your dream
Encouraging awakening to reality.
And you will see the forest from the trees
Seeing the consequences clearly.
You will then realize all the wrongs that you`ve done
Regret for past wrongs.
But it is too late, this fight cannot be won
Realizing the irreversibility of mistakes.
Your brain your soul
Pondering the value of intellect and soul.
Your heart your soul
Repeating the questioning of the heart and soul.
Your jewels your gold
Questioning the motives behind material pursuits.
Is this what we`re fighting for?
Asking if the fight is worth material gains.
Your oil your coal
Questioning the worth of energy resources.
Is this what we`re dying for?
Questioning the cost of resource-driven conflicts.
Bitch!
An exclamation expressing frustration or anger.
So what a waste of breath it was when I retrospect
Reflecting on the futility of past actions.
Could I have done something that you did not expect?
Wondering if different actions could have changed outcomes.
I often look back and judge myself way too hard
Self-critical evaluation, possibly regretting past decisions.
But my heart is as black as the road I walk on
Describing a dark, unrepentant aspect of the self.
I walk on
Emphasizing a continuous journey on a dark path.
All these voices in my head
Reiteration of conflicting inner voices.
Keep whispering sweet tales to me
External influences persisting, predicting an imminent end.
They keep telling me that the world will end soon
Repeating the warning of an impending apocalypse.
Oh, you see my friend they might not speak false tales
Reiterating the potential truth in the warnings.
Our self-destructive personalities...
Highlighting the destructive nature of human personalities.
You keep lying to yourself that all you do is right
Accusing self-deception in claiming moral righteousness.
But you fail to realize our demise
Failure to recognize the collective downfall.
Al these voices in my head
Repetition of inner voices indicating impending doom.
All of the voices in my head they know no sleep, they know no sleep
Emphasizing the relentless nature of inner turmoil.
All the voices that I hear all the voices telling me
Repetition of the warning of an approaching end.
The end is coming
Stating the inevitability of an impending apocalypse.
The end is coming
Repeating the forewarning of an approaching end.
All the voices that I hear, all these thoughts they bury me
Expressing the overwhelming nature of negative thoughts.
Can you hear the voices?
Questioning the perception of ominous voices.
