Sonic Syndicate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is nothing left for me
There is nothing left for you
There is nothing left at all
A wasteland of my mind
Don't think you ever will see
Don't think you ever will know
How much I actually cared
About everything we shared
Why the fuck did you lie then?
Why in hell did you bring me down?
Don't you realize?
No one gets out of this place alive

Hasn't been screaming all these years
Just to see the world crashing around me
Maybe this life is overrated
But I won't let the world burn around me

A situation like this, should never exist
Then why are we out of control
I see smoke from the Eden fire
Watch it going higher and higher

You pulled me up from the dream
Let's compare scars you and I
You are always on my mind
I will never leave you behind
You broke my engagement to
Solitude, and made me threw away
The ring of retaliation

Maybe this life is overrated
But I won't let the world burn around me

A situation like this, should never exist
Then why are we out of control
I see smoke from the Eden fire
Watch it going higher and higher

Hasn't been screaming all these years
Just to see the world crashing around me
Maybe this life is overrated
But I won't let the world burn around me

A situation like this, should never exist
Then why are we out of control

A situation like this, should never exist
Then why are we out of control
I see smoke from the Eden fire
Watch it going higher and higher

A situation like this, should never exist
Then why are we out of control
I see smoke from the Eden fire
Watch it going higher and higher

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sonic Syndicate's song Denied explore themes of betrayal, loss, and resilience. The opening lines convey a sense of emptiness and futility, with the repeated refrain of "there is nothing left" suggesting a complete absence of hope or purpose. The second verse addresses the pain of being lied to and let down by someone close, with the brutally honest question, "why the fuck did you lie then?" The following lines suggest a chaotic world in which things are spiraling out of control, with smoke rising from an "Eden fire" that threatens to destroy everything.


Despite the bleakness of the situation, the chorus offers a defiant refusal to surrender, with the singer declaring that "Maybe this life is overrated / But I won't let the world burn around me." The final verse switches gears a bit, with the singer reflecting on the ways in which their life has been improved by the relationship that has now ended. Even though the other person has caused pain and upheaval, they "pulled me up from the dream" and created a more vibrant existence. The song ultimately seems to be about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity and the determination to keep fighting even when everything seems lost.

Solitude, and made me threw away
And made me throw away the idea of being alone.


The ring of retaliation
I let go of the desire for revenge.

Who's here in 2021 almost 2022?

I don't remember why me and a friend of mine had nothing to do on Thursday, October 18, 2007.

But I do remember that that same morning we found out that there would be an Eastpack Antidote Tour date that evening at 8pm at Backstage, in Munich.
Lineup: Sonic Syndicate, Dark Tranquillity, Caliban and Soilwork.

From where we lived at that time Munich was just a little more than 500 km away.

"well, ok, let's go then!" said I, and just an hour later, with some rags and a toothbrush in a backpack, we were on the road headed to Munich!

It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen!!!

After the concert we had beers and chatted all night with the guys from the bands, what a night!!!
Shaking hands and having a beer with Bjorn Strid, my lifelong idol, was an honor and a huge thrill and, as a bass player, chatting with Karin and Ola about our basses, amps and equipment was really cool!!!

I will carry the memory of that night with me for all my life!

So much time has passed... wonderful times, wonderful years....

I still remember learning about you from some WoW shadow priest pvp video 😅I think the story was that the maker was allowed to use an unreleased song because he was friends with someone from the band, no idea if that was true or not and have since never been able to find the video again

Metal music from the late 2000's just makes me so nostalgic , this was my teen years.

good times good times

@wikingkrig5801

same here. i was traveling to canada i was 11-12 when i listing to Sonic Syndicate (this song) first time on the air plane. Now im 25 and engineer. I miss the time of the 2000-2017. Time has change to mure cruel world. Money is more important then peoples feelings and emetions. Music has no value in money, music has more deeper meening and demsions. I miss the times from 2000 so much i could sell my soul for it.. the quality of the females and males and stiles was highest level.
