This is the end!
And after all that duress,
There's no right or wrong,
No king, no throne to defend.
'Cause we're all that exists.
No blessing God,
No judge alive, (?)
There's no cost or calls from the top. (?)

We're all on our own!
We're on our own!

No church exists in this world that we live
No beacons, no prophet
This is it
We are the only ones left. (?)
No preachers, no nothing,
And I've heard your faith is in Christ (?)

What if we're wrong?
What if we're not all alone?
What if we're lost?
And we missed the whole point of it all?
What if I'm wrong?
What if we're not all alone?
What if our peace, can never be felt on our own?

My soul can't die!
My soul can't die!

We're on our own!

Well if all that remains, is your apparition's wit,
Then an eye for an eye is the only law that can exist.

So don't use your robes to soften defeat,
And trophies of war to boast of your feat,
You've failed and you've failed
Because your body is weak,
And you'll never be as strong as you dream to achieve.

What if we're wrong?
What if we're not all alone?
What if we're lost?
And we missed the whole point of it all?

But my soul can't die!
(My soul can't die!)
My soul can't die!
(My soul can't die!)

    This is it, and this is all that there is, There's no right or wrong, No king, no throne to defend, Cause we are all that exists, No blessing God, No Judge or Law, There's no cost or calls from the top,

    We're all on our own. We're on our own.

    No faith exists in this world that we live No pagans, no prophets, This is it, we are the atheist writ No preachers, no new born believers, Your faith is in jest.

    What if we're wrong? What if we're not all alone? What we're lost, And we missed the whole point of it all? What if we're wrong? What if we're not all alone? What if our peace can never be found on our own?

    I saw God die I saw God die

    We're on our own. (We're on our own)

    Well, if all that remains is our avaricious wit, An eye for an eye is the only law that can exist.

    So don't use your romance to soften defeat, Or your trophies of war, To boast of your feats. If you've failed, then you've failed, Cause your body is weak, And you'll never be as strong as you dream to achieve.

    What is we're wrong? What if we're not alone? What if we're lost, And we missed the whole point of it all?

    But I saw God die (I saw God die) I saw God die (I saw God die)

    General Comment

    This song is from the perspective of a believer after God defeats Satan and returns to heaven. Since Gods Physical presence has left him, the man is confused and afraid that everything that he has put his faith in is false. He is thinking through what happened and wondering if he missed the point of Gods time on earth.

    youtube.com/watch

    That link has the lyrics straight from Solid State records, so I'm sure they're accurate. Also, it's "I saw God die", not "my soul can't die".

    Also, "no judge or law"

    "no sides exist in this world that we live" "not no church..."

    After this is it, it says "We are the Athiest writ, no preachers no new born believers, you're faith is in jest"

    Yeah, you should just look at the vid, cause it's a lot. It was a good attempt though (I can't even understand them the singer myself, so you should really pat yourself on the back)

    My Interpretation

    This song is about the "death" of God in "Endseekers." The song talks about the desolation of the world without either God or Satan in it, but more importantly, the fact that the people in it no longer have a fear of God or punishment for their actions.

    The album also follows a former priest who fought in the war on God's side (and his atheist daughter), who becomes a judge in the aftermath, which is where the lines "So don't use your robes to soften defeat, And trophies of war to boast of your feat," and "Well if all that remains, is our avaricious wit, Then an eye for an eye is the only law that can exist," come into play.

    I think the most important lines of the song are "What if we're wrong? What if we're not all alone? What if we're lost? And we missed the whole point of it all?" because it gives a bit of foreshadowing as to the purpose of God disappearing. I think it is a believer questioning whether God actually died or is simply teaching them something. But he is having sort of an internal argument, which is why after those lines, he says "But I saw God die."

    Note: I used the lyrics straight from the band via their lyrics book that came with the album, as the lyrics both her and on the Solid State videos are wrong in some places. (Ex. "avaricious wit," not "apparitions's wit."

    I think its

    1. No church exists in this world that we live No PAGANS, no prophets 2. No preachers, no nothing, BELIEVERS YOUR FAITH IS UNJUST(or IN JEST) 3. Well if all that remains, is your AVARICIOUS wit, Then an eye for an eye is the only law that can exist. 4. So don't use your ROMANCE to soften defeat, And trophies of war to boast of your featS, 5. IF You've failed, THEN you've failed Because your body is weak,

    From the lyric booklet:

    This is it and this is all that there is There is no right or wrong, no king, no throne to defend Because we are all that exists No blessing god, no judge or law There's no cost or calls from the top because we're all on our own We're on our own

    No sides exist in this world that we live No pagans, no prophets This is it, we are the atheist writ No preachers, no new born believers, your faith is in jest "But what if we're wrong? What if we're not alone? What if we're lost and we miss the whole point of it all? But what if we're wrong? What if we're not alone? What if our peace can never be found on our own?"

    But I saw God die I saw God die We're on our own If all that remains is our avaricious wit, then "an eye for an eye" is the only law that can exist So don't use your romance to soften deaft or your trophies of war to boast of your feats If you failed then you failed 'cause your body is weak and you'll never be as strong as you dream to achieve.

    My Interpretation

    I agree with your interpretations of the song. But i always thought that it might be the disciples view during the crucifiction of Christ. I cant imagine how decimated they were when He was taken away and hung on the cross to die.

    But I saw God die (I saw God die) I saw God die (I saw God die)

    God never dies, other than when Jesus Christ dies for our sins. That's my main reason for believing that.

    What if we're wrong? What if we're not all alone? What we're lost, And we missed the whole point of it all? What if we're wrong? What if we're not all alone? What if our peace can never be found on our own?

    Also, that's another reason i think it COULD be from then. At first the disciples were confused and didn't understand what it meant or why He was dying on the cross.

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.

Cajun Girl
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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
