| Twelve Tribes – Translation Of Fixes Lyrics

To me this song is a simultaneous condemnation of conformity for its negative effects on society and a celebration of individuality. Resorting to impulse reflects the sudden desire to escape those around you for the mistreatment of uncommon traits which do not fit within the social constructs of today's culture. He is pointing out the overwhelming negativity towards those who operate outside of what is accepted. This behavior forces those who are outcasted to self-critique when the true fallacy is not accepting people for who they are. Thus "count the imperfections in the lines on my face, when your regrets and failures are so obvious". It is easy to criticize what you don't understand, but we must not answer in kind, even when reciprocating judgement would be easy. The last portion of the song is a message to those who relate to this over-arching message: I know who I am, and I will be true to myself, and I will not allow the opinions of others define my character. |

One of my favorites from my favorite. This song's meaning is simple: Live with no regrets. Everything you've done and will do contributes to who you are. Mistakes, successes, failures, etc. all play a part in the person you are and on your morals. Don't be discouraged by others, by trauma, by failing. Keep healing, and keep holding on. This song is either directly relating this message, or it is in appreciation for someone who made this theme clear to the writer which I'm quite sure is John Henry. This message suits the theme of the entire album "Undoing Ruin". |
