| The Human Abstract – Procession of the Fates Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me, Procession of the Fates itself is about the world as it spins around a person who has chosen to isolate her/himself from others. This character feels like the only way to stay strong is to avoid contact with others. Nathan Ells (vocalist) is trying to get this person to open up to him. He's calling out so loudly for some real emotion that the whole world can hear him. But this character has entirely isolated him/herself from Nathan and the general population. They've darkened their thoughts, becoming pessimistic and cold. At the end, Nathan asks the person to tear down the wall they've put between their true self and the rest of the world, and let him see him/her for who they really are... and if not, he'll have been proven wrong, that not everyone is capable of opening up. |
