Compelled to speak when not to speak
My words lead & I follow
I must talk or else I'm weak
Let no one know my shell's hollow
False world created
I just watch it come to life
Your faith's my weapon
And your trust by my side
Lost all my senses
Can't feel, can't hear, I'm
Blinded
Lost all my senses
Emotionally numb
Blinded
Nothing's sacred & no one's safe
I'm feeding on denial
Getting careless soon bound to fail
Fooled by my own betrayal
Are you lost in fury?
Fearing to fail
Are you aching for vengeance?
And got lost on the way
Are you hiding your anger?
Fearing truth will prevail
Ashamed of the present
And what you've become today
False world created...
Lost all my senses...
My words lead & I follow
I must talk or else I'm weak
Let no one know my shell's hollow
I just watch it come to life
Your faith's my weapon
And your trust by my side
Can't feel, can't hear, I'm
Blinded
Lost all my senses
Emotionally numb
Blinded
I'm feeding on denial
Getting careless soon bound to fail
Fooled by my own betrayal
Fearing to fail
Are you aching for vengeance?
And got lost on the way
Are you hiding your anger?
Fearing truth will prevail
Ashamed of the present
And what you've become today

I'm not sure what this song is about, but it is absolutely one of my favorites by this band. Tom S. Englund's voice is so urgent, so full of sorrow, in the choruses. It's definately quite a masterpiece.
i think it's about someone lying to their self; holding in emotions, and it's making them "blind"
I think it's about someone pretending to be someone he/she (I'll just say he because it's easier) is not. Maybe because he doesn't like who he is so he pretends to be someone else. That person creates a false world and fools everyone around him. As a result, he doesn't know who he really is and feels numb because he cannot have true connections with others. At some point, the lies are revealed because he made a careless mistake. I'm not sure what the words "fury", "vengeance", "anger" mean. Did someone cause him to repress who he is? In the end he's ashamed of who he's become but doesn't know how to change.
