This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I tried and tried
A thousand times I tried to get to you
But I could never move
I had to lie
I fall behind and blame it all on you
Cause I still hate to lose
[Chorus]
Towers fall and kingdoms crumble
Mountains bow and the earth will tremble
At the sound of your name
(At the sound of your name)
Strong men falls to him who humbles
The plans we made were bound to stumble
Only you remain
(Only you remain)
I cried and cried
A thousand tears I cried because of you
I lost my one excuse
And I had to die along with everything inside of me removed
Now I live with you (you)
Oh Oh Oh
[Chorus]
Only you remain
(Only you remain)
(Some men can reach the sky)
Some men can reach the sky
If he builds his own demise
But still he's far away from you
(He's underneath your eyes)
He's underneath your eyes
As he plans his own demise
What's new to him is old to you
His kingdom fell and his heart was troubled
I feel the same
I feel the same
Strong men falls to him who humbles
And man to man
We'll stumble
And that's why He came
That's why He came
[Chorus]
Only you remain
(Only you remain)
Only you remain
Only you remain
A thousand times I tried to get to you
But I could never move
I had to lie
I fall behind and blame it all on you
Cause I still hate to lose
[Chorus]
Towers fall and kingdoms crumble
Mountains bow and the earth will tremble
At the sound of your name
(At the sound of your name)
Strong men falls to him who humbles
The plans we made were bound to stumble
Only you remain
(Only you remain)
I cried and cried
A thousand tears I cried because of you
I lost my one excuse
And I had to die along with everything inside of me removed
Now I live with you (you)
Oh Oh Oh
[Chorus]
Only you remain
(Only you remain)
(Some men can reach the sky)
Some men can reach the sky
If he builds his own demise
But still he's far away from you
(He's underneath your eyes)
He's underneath your eyes
As he plans his own demise
What's new to him is old to you
His kingdom fell and his heart was troubled
I feel the same
I feel the same
Strong men falls to him who humbles
And man to man
We'll stumble
And that's why He came
That's why He came
[Chorus]
Only you remain
(Only you remain)
Only you remain
Only you remain

Sorry dude, this isn't a Golden State song. It's another band called 'Above the golden state'. Good song though =)
Sorry didn't mean to flat this as spam, but just wanted the mods to know this is from another band so it goes to the right place!
