Judging from the title, it is obvious that this song is about somekind of powerful group/dominion/religion/
government/whatever..
"shallowness and beauty
was all that concerned her body
but the soul, her divine guest
were thrust to the bottom"
seems to be pretty straightforward about people in general loosing touch with their spirituality and caring more and more about the physical appearance of everything.
"with his silence, he passes the
judgement over them
"with your feverish signs of force
you´ll make them and yourself to
believe that he still retains his full power""
by having a "him" in this verse, it seems they are establishing a contrast or similtude to the "she" of the previous verse.
This might be unimportant though.
Anyway, this verse is about some kind of authority trying to retain it's power, which it seems to be loosing.
I think In Flames didn't have any specific authority in mind when writing this.
It's for YOU to decide.
"surrendered to the sect
that has risen from it´s womb
"for those who cling to this
dominion will partake in it´s fall" "
The authory previously mentioned (Zombie Inc)
is being toppled by a new "sect", which seems to suggest this song is about religion.
"as a platform for divine foundations,
you want to make them suck"
This reinforces the religious idea, though it might just be metaphors.
Zombie Inc might be a religious authority, which is "making people suck", i.e. weakening, blinding or hurting people.
"thruth serves them embrace
and defend her case
part flattery, part threats
"for those who cling to this
dominion will partake in it´s fall" "
Hard to decipher, but generally this is a description of Zombie Inc. and a warning to those who are a part of it.
Overall, this song is about authorities being toppled, and a warning to those who are a part of the authority..
"for those who cling to this
dominion will partake in it´s fall"..
This song is somewhat obscure at times IN ORDER for YOU to apply this song to something you see fit.
Typical In Flames.
