Influence of a Drowsy God Lyrics
All those times before
When I was just another face
Among the others
Keeping secrets to save myself
I could blend into the background
And savor the unknown
I could practice preservation
And hide behind this shell
But my gods are released
On a world that is falling down
My calm is a beast that will not
Let me give up now
I know I'm all or nothing
Giving my elation
A little something to relax
All the others' indecisions
Will make me go mad
There's no time to hear the arguments
Or simply close my eyes
I believe this confrontation
Deserves my full attention
When my gods are released on a world
That is falling down
My calm is a beast that will not
Let me give up now
I know I'm all or nothing
I'm all or nothing
I can see why nothing has happened
Promises strain
I'm writing this down as I run
Take all the examples
And what have I learned?
Nothing can heal you
When everything burns
My gods are released on a world
That is falling down
My calm is a beast that will not
Let me give up now
I'm all or nothing
I'm all or nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
When I was just another face
Among the others
Keeping secrets to save myself
I could blend into the background
And savor the unknown
I could practice preservation
And hide behind this shell
On a world that is falling down
My calm is a beast that will not
Let me give up now
I know I'm all or nothing
A little something to relax
All the others' indecisions
Will make me go mad
There's no time to hear the arguments
Or simply close my eyes
I believe this confrontation
Deserves my full attention
That is falling down
My calm is a beast that will not
Let me give up now
I know I'm all or nothing
I'm all or nothing
Promises strain
I'm writing this down as I run
Take all the examples
And what have I learned?
Nothing can heal you
When everything burns
That is falling down
My calm is a beast that will not
Let me give up now
I'm all or nothing
I'm all or nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

First of all I get that this is a story based concept album, but I had a real-world interpretation of it. I get the impression of someone looking back on a time when they were less successful/unrecognized, and they realize that all of the fighting and struggle to get to where they want to be has only led them to the same world that is still falling apart as it was before.
