They're coming
Begin to light we must ignite the creed to fight begin our night
They're coming
Wake up the dreamers we demand the need of rights
In the dead of night a hero sets his sights to warn of destruction
a call of arms begins the motion.
There is no good bye no second glances
for in the midst
We, We see a glimpse
Of mass oppression coming to take our lives
They can't take our fight
We're living free of monarchy
Brothers take hands
its our time to give this nation its only chance.
Not one step back
a true man will take a stand.
Liberty rings
echoing through the streets the beginning of everything.
Take pride for this is the picture we must live by or die, or die
They're coming
Begin to light we must ignite we creed to fight begin our night
They're coming
Wake up the dreamers we demand the need of rights
How can we sleep at night?
knowing that were hidden by our lack of emotion
just stoic disposition what robotic guise.
Simply take time to remember our forefathers plight.
How could we make light of such a momentous fight?
Could we ever make ourselves right?
Don't stand for another moment wasted

    Freedom. Free yourself from oppression. Stand and fight, motherfuckers. Fight for what is rightfully yours.

    This song, to me, describes freedom in its purest form.

    Check out the lyrics, it even seems as if it's describing the beginning part of the Revolutionary War.

    "In the dead of night a hero sets his sights to warn of destruction a call of arms begins the motion."

    Paul Revere, anybody?

    "We're living free of monarchy"

    England, wut wut?

    My Interpretation

    All Shall Perish fervently uses political and social themes to write their lyrics about, and - although they can be understood as odes about past revolutions - I deeply believe that they are telling us something about the present, the event taking place in our OWN time, and about the possible outcomes in the near future.

    Just look around you, being a citizen anywhere, and even more if you're from America: the fascist dictatorship, the police state is being built up right in front of our eyes, the system is becoming very oppressive, controlling the freedom of people in the sickest ways possible. The present monetary system is designed to turn people into debt slaves. Legislation is corrupted to its core, serving the purpose of those who are wealthy enough to influence them. But all this done in small steps, like with the frog that got boiled in water because the temperature rose just a little every time. To me, the song describes an individual who suddenly realized there is a hierarchy being built up which was hidden from his eyes, but now he sees, and understands that it aims for the total control and manipulation of the population, taking away all of freedom. Also, he realizes that it's been prepared for a long time, but it's NEVER too late to take heed and stand up for himself, for his rights. And yes, WE have to take a stand, we have to end the system that we allowed to oppress us for centuries.

    I think anyone who reads between the lines of ASP songs, understands this. It's important above all to educate yourself, have high level of awareness and always keep an open mind.

    If you are one being interested in such lyrics (and music), consider listening & reading Scar Symmetry, The HAARP Machine, Hierosonic, The Faceless, Aurora, Aristeia, House Vs Hurricane, As Blood Runs Black, Born Of Osiris, to mention a few. Read The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot. Don't rely on mainstream sources, read alternative media like Alex Jones or David Icke.

    My English class just finished reading A Tale of Two Cities and I can't help but to feel a correlation between that song and TTC. Although it's probably about the American Revolution, I still feel it fits in well with the French Revolution.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
