| Pendulum – The Other Side Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The other side? It's about altering your state of consciousness, most likely through chemical means. It's playing on the perceived stereotypes surrounding the chemical scene, as popular culture portrays such things as "hellish." Even the wobs suggest this is a song about/for E users. |

| Veil of Maya – Unbreakable Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
^Because all religious Dogmatic beliefs aren't just childhood delusions that people need to outgrow. This song is about self affirmation; how you perceive life determines how life comes across. If you have the confidence in your ability to live day-to-day and survive, then you're unbreakable. Study some Freud, the cd is called ID for reason's sake. |

| Veil of Maya – Codex Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The one Codex inside every human is their DNA; It's THE code to who they are as a human. The "choices" are all the choices of our psychological forces that invest meaning into things. | |
| Parkway Drive – Pressures Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
there's no "not" in the line "I have seen the face of death and I have chosen to accept its form" aside from "not" not being audible in the vocals, it doesn't make sense with the rest of the song... which, the rest of the song is all about the inevitability of death and being strong enough to face it head on while the rest of the world is in fear. |

| Parkway Drive – Deadweight Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I'd say it's more than a feeling but an acceptance. It's the Crisis of Faith that echoes through a ton of artists' works; if there is no inherent meaning to the world, then one has to make their own through all the suffering that exists in life. | |
| Darkest Hour – Transcendence Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I wouldn't call this as straight forward as you claim. The Eternal Return is a CD that is heavily influenced by the writings of Nietzsche and here this song is about overcoming religious confinement of the self. "Self-made misery" describes the punishment or concept of sin that people inflict upon themselves even though it's not real. The blasphemy is that in doing so people are trying to circumvent the harsh realities of life rather than embrace them. The whole first verse is in regards to separating the body from the soul even though the soul is inherently a part of the body if it exists and diving the world into "perceived appearances" and "eternal 'truths.'" One only becomes mended when they realize that life is only the senses and rather than trying to dull them with religion and the quest for eternal truths, we need to take life for what it is and learn to breathe as we move forward, transcended from this ascetic persona. |
