Vortex
A.R.C.∞ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light the candle, listen to
How we're going down
and how we yield to ill demands
Reason is defeated
Madness in the town
And no one seems to give us hands
Hide away
Let's hide away
Poisonous fumes infect us
Every day
We're led astray
By the voice of false priests
Now it's getting hotter
It's high time

They tell me
"Surrender!"
As no man ever got away
With the vortex in his
Reckless heart

Madness in the town
I've seen the storms of blood
Clever those who're down
Keep off the crippling lights
Concrete jungles also
Are making my head spin and
Making empty stomach churn
In the inmost of my
Soft and dreamy heart
Lush greenery knows no return
And shabby creepy cabins are showing teeth
They are carious enough for me to lose my wreath
My flowers die, my blossoms cry
Weather-stained walls of my broken outlook
Pissing me off till I'm out of color
I hate them. Hear me? I hate them!

They tell me
"Surrender!"
As no man ever got away
With the vortex in his
Reckless heart
It feels like
I'm ear-deep
In stuffy quicksands of my roots
And you know that the harder I pull my legs
The more I drown

Time won't heal my wounds
There's no tomorrow
If I don't dig out myself from this cold pit
Can you hear me? I'm the one to
Condemn your ways, we are trapped in anthills
Pull me out
It's not the end
Just grab my hand and pull me out!
Pull me out
It's not the end
Just grab my hand and pull me hard!
Three, Two, One
Pill me out!




Three, Two, One
Pull me hard

Line by Line Meaning

Light the candle, listen to
Pay attention, something important is happening


How we're going down
Our situation is deteriorating


and how we yield to ill demands
We are giving in to unreasonable requests


Reason is defeated
Logical thinking has failed us


Madness in the town
The people are acting crazy


And no one seems to give us hands
No one wants to help us


Hide away
Let's find a safe place to go


Let's hide away
We need to protect ourselves


Poisonous fumes infect us
There are dangerous things around us


Every day
This is a constant problem


We're led astray
We are being deceived


By the voice of false priests
Religious authority figures are misleading us


Now it's getting hotter
The situation is becoming more intense


It's high time
It's about time we took action


They tell me
Someone is advising me


"Surrender!"
Give up


As no man ever got away
This has not worked in the past


With the vortex in his
Being pulled into a dangerous situation


Reckless heart
Due to someone's impulsive behavior


I've seen the storms of blood
There has been a lot of violence


Clever those who're down
Smart people who are struggling


Keep off the crippling lights
Avoid dangerous situations


Concrete jungles also
Urban areas with no vegetation


Are making my head spin and
This is overwhelming


Making empty stomach churn
Causing nausea


In the inmost of my
Deep within me


Soft and dreamy heart
I am a sensitive person


Lush greenery knows no return
Nature is not recoverable


And shabby creepy cabins are showing teeth
The run-down buildings are threatening


They are carious enough for me to lose my wreath
They are unhealthy enough to make me sick


My flowers die, my blossoms cry
I am losing the things that bring me joy


Weather-stained walls of my broken outlook
My view of things is damaged by bad experiences


Pissing me off till I'm out of color
I am beyond anger


I hate them. Hear me? I hate them!
I despise my situation


It feels like
This is how I perceive things


I'm ear-deep
I am completely immersed


In stuffy quicksands of my roots
In a difficult situation that is deeply ingrained


And you know that the harder I pull my legs
The more I struggle to get free


The more I drown
The worse the situation becomes


Time won't heal my wounds
This is a serious problem I can't ignore


There's no tomorrow
The future looks bleak


If I don't dig out myself from this cold pit
I need to take action to improve my situation


Can you hear me? I'm the one to
I am the person responsible for my own fate


Condemn your ways, we are trapped in anthills
I reject these harmful behaviors and our limited living conditions


Pull me out
Help me escape


It's not the end
There is still hope


Just grab my hand and pull me out!
Help me with this difficult situation


Three, Two, One
A countdown, indicating urgency


Pill me out!
Quickly remove me from this situation


Pull me hard
I need strong assistance to get free
