Time and time again I ask myself why should I believe at all.
You've given no concrete reason.
For me to hasten to your beckoned call,
And so I cry unheard a bitter testimony to my misery.
And so how can I pray to you.
When you take those who I love from me.
I can't believe what's right before my eyes.
We cannot see his promises were lies.
I can't believe what's right before my eyes.
This deity he does not hear our cries.
How can we believe in what we don't see.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
Can't you can't you hear us hear us crying.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
How can we believe in what we don't see.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
Can't you can't you see us see us dying.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
My faith waivers prayers go unanswered.
Deny myself I won't worship you at all.
WE MUST NOT BELIEVE.
In what he tells us because promises were lies.
First he says to pray to him and then ignores our cries.
I won't give up the one true thing I know is mine.
My faith my belief I swear allegiance to myself.
I can't believe what's right before my eyes.
We cannot see his promises were lies.
I can't believe what's right before my eyes.
This deity he does not hear our cries.
How can we believe in what we don't see.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
Can't you can't you hear us hear us crying.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
How can we believe in what we don't see.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
Can't you can't you see us see us dying.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE.
My faith waivers prayers go unanswered.
Deny myself I won't worship you at all.
I will not worship you not in this life.
Maybe once I wanted to that time has passed.
What have you done for me but bring me pain.
You'll get no love from me its you I blame.
My faith is gone you'll get no prayers from me.
An empty shell of a man.
I hate what you stand for stamp out your memory.
As this regret clouds my mind.
Now i'm Free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Diecast's song Solace speak about the singer's loss of faith in a higher power.

The singer expresses their frustration with a bitter testimony to their misery and claims that the deity's promises were lies. As their faith waivers and their prayers go unanswered, the singer decides to take matters into their own hands and denies themselves worship of this higher power. They become an empty shell of a man, free from the burden of faith.

The song's lyrics are an expression of disillusionment and disappointment with religion and the concept of a higher power. The singer questions the idea of blind faith and expresses anger towards the deity. The last few lines of the song particularly stand out as the singer seems to have found solace in rejecting this higher power, claiming they are now free.
