To Burn The Eye

I think its about someone who's like at the bottom of the society and he feels.

incredible song that gives you about 5 different changes in momentum, and every one is placed perfectly. This is my favorite song on Ember to Inferno. I love it, love it, love it because it's strong, and speaks to me.

i think that this song is about people who beat their wives and kids and generally abuse them and how the wives and kids feel. for example the line "two become as one, one become a slave" two become as one means that two people get married and this suggests that the man practically enslaves the woman, then the line "immolation of the human self, conflagration of the ego" is about how the people being abused will feel horrible about themselves and will feel that they deserve it. matt heafy also describes the people being abused as empty shells for the same reason. He also partly talks about the person abusing saying the he will, "burn in his own hell" being that this will come back to haunt him and describes him as a "leech of the addiction" meaning that he is sick and is addicted to it and finally tells them that they will lose in the end

"A mind lost within its own self Existing to feed its hunger Your body hollowed empty shell Awaiting feed of the ages"

To me this song speaks of someone who has succumbed to an addiction, most likely a drug and substance abuse issue as a byproduct of having depression. They live to feed their inner emptiness with substances such as drugs or alcohol. They have lost "sight" of the things in life they should be striving for

"Darkness will cover the mind Casting a shade on reasoning Immolation of the human self Conflagration of the ego"

Depression destroys your self esteem, your rationale and way of thinking, you overanalyse everything people say, you assume the worst of other people or misinterpret things in negative ways. A conflagration is a large fire. If you have experienced depression, the effects of deteriorating self esteem can be paralleled to the feeling of your ego being cast alight.

"Burn in your own hell Life grand holding cell"

When depressed it is hard to get out of the mindset that comes with it.

"Two become as one One become a slave"

Becoming slave to a vice

"Burn the eye to blind Keeping truth from mind Breathe in the life Breathe in the lie"

Your perception is heavily altered perception as a product of being mentally ill, you breathe in a lie.

"No longer are you human Just a leech of the addiction Loathing 'till insanity Mental deterioration"

Slave to a vice

"To destroy the faith In humanity

Life shell - shocks your empty shell Hatred for those privileged unlike you"

Jealousy of those who can live a prosperous normal life?

"You think you will win But you can't face the System of self destruction

Life skins mind bleeding dry Hatred for the self and the life"
