| Breaking Benjamin – I Will Not Bow Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about (the mentality of?) super-villains. Here's my justification: Now the dark begins to rise Save your breath its far from over The "birth" of our supervillain. Leave the lost and dead behind Nows your chance to run for cover This is considered to be a very dishonorable act in the military. Sacrificing others for your own continued survival or gain is a trait many supervillains share. I don't want to change the world I just want to leave it colder Light the fuse and burn it up The destruction of the world is a common goal and motivation of supervillains everywhere Take the path that leads to nowhere As the plots of super-villains are often thwarted in their attempts to destroy the world, theirs is a path that leads to nowhere. All is lost again But I'm not giving in I will not bow I will not break I will shut the world away I will not fall I will not fade I will take your breath away If at first you don't succeed try, try again. Supervillains never give up or give in. They always come back with a new plan, a new plot to destroy the world. And I'll survive, paranoid I have lost the will to change And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fate I will shut the world away Perhaps more often seen in anime where the motivations and reasons behind a supervillain's actions and beliefs are explored, some experience a moment where they almost see what they're doing is wrong yet feel it's too late to change or simply feel resigned to their fate (they lost the will to change) and perhaps even curse their fate, wishing things were different (and I am not proud: cold-blooded fate). And then, resigned to their fate, they continue along the cycle they've become so comfortable with (I will shut the world away). So that's my two cents. Let me know your thoughts on this =) JFresh1977 |
