Offworld
Beyond Neon Veils: Embracing Destiny in Offworld's Transient Echoes
Lyrics
Offworld to a place where fortune lies
Desire to go to a place where good luck or success awaits
Far from this smeared neon glow and rainy nights
Yearning to escape from the chaotic city life and dreary, rainy nights
Down here
Refers to the current place or situation
Where no answers were to be found
In this current place, there were no solutions or explanations available
Driven to escape
Feeling compelled to flee
Without avail and against all odds
Despite the difficulties, attempting to escape anyway
A new life awaits you they preached
Others promising a new life in a different place
Asking where we will be
Questioning where one will end up when faced with downfall
When all comes crashing down
When everything collapses or fails
If all lose ends meet, we must not fail
Emphasizing the importance of not failing even when everything seems connected
For with this comes the end
Signifying that the end accompanies these challenges
Swallowing us whole
Metaphorically consumed or overwhelmed by these circumstances
We lay dying at the eve of our days
Feeling near death as life comes to an end
Beneath dimly lit skies
Underneath poorly illuminated skies
Brimming with life
The surroundings are full of vitality despite personal demise
As your blood ran cold
Feeling emotionally drained or numbed
And my heart stopped beating
Experiencing a loss of emotional connection or empathy
Now embraced, our mortal remains
Despite death, still embraced by the environment
Still we’ve seen
Despite the situation, having witnessed something significant
Like pyres on the firmament
Comparing significant experiences to spectacular celestial events
These glorious bursts of posthuman transience
Beautiful yet transient moments of post-human existence
The scent of burning flesh filled our nostrils
Sensory experience of being near death and victory
A blissful feeling of victory pulsating within
Feeling of triumph due to answering a call from fate
It was a call of destiny
Suggesting a sense of destiny or purpose guiding actions
And we answered
Responding to that destined call
We held the day
Holding control over a significant period or event
In the palm of our hand
Having power or influence over a crucial moment
Once echoing threnodies for the fallen
Previously mourning the fallen, but now silenced by time
Now silenced by time
Desire to convey the intensity of life to another
I’ll tell your fervid heart what it was like to be alive
Recalling vividly what it was like to be alive
Of flashes of light
Memories of sudden and impactful moments of illumination
Piercing through the darkness
Reflecting on forgotten struggles
I’ll tell of signs of struggle, now long forgotten
When memories have been altered or distorted over time
When memory has become corrupted
When one's existence has faded into the past
And we’re long gone
Reflecting on the passage of time and disappearance
