Look At Me Now
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no light to adorn the halls of hiding masses
Swept away by fear of reprisal, stare down at their own ashes
So grant them death
You have left the pores of Earth uncleansed
For too long have you smelt the rotten stench, the scent
I bare no guilt in my quest for eradication
Fire and Brimstone, sweep forth and cleanse the nations
Eyes of God, Look Down Upon Me and Weep
These lyrics from Above & Beyond's song "Look At Me Now" convey a sense of desperation and a longing for redemption. The opening line "Reach out your hand, hold me in this cold embrace" captures a feeling of seeking comfort and solace in the face of a harsh and unforgiving world. The reference to "no light to adorn the halls of hiding masses" suggests a lack of hope or guidance, with people concealing their true selves in fear of judgment.
The lines "Swept away by fear of reprisal, stare down at their own ashes" speak to the crippling effect of fear and how it can lead to a self-destructive cycle. The singer calls for death to those who have allowed the world to become corrupted and impure. The mention of "fire and brimstone" and "cleansing the nations" alludes to a desire for divine intervention or some form of drastic change to purge the world of its evils.
The final line, "Eyes of God, Look Down Upon Me and Weep," evokes a sense of sorrow and disappointment. It suggests that even the divine may be disheartened by what humanity has become, and the longing for redemption is so great that it brings tears to the eyes of the higher power.
Overall, these lyrics paint a picture of a world engulfed in darkness and fear, with the singer yearning for a drastic change and the divine's pity.

This is what it feels like
When you're wide awake
When your mind is choking
Running through your mistakes
This is what it feels like
In your final days
When your heart is folding
Flooding with all the praise
When the curtains coming down
But the words aren't coming out
When the lights are changing
The roads are fading
Just look at me now
[Chorus]
Though the wall seems strong
Above the wire you've been on
To the all that you belong
Is much bigger
Though the wall seems strong
Above the wire you've been on
To the all that you belong
Is much bigger
[Drop]
Though the wall seems strong
Above the wire you've been on
To the all that you belong
Is much bigger
Though the wall seems strong
Above the wire you've been on
To the all that you belong
Is much bigger
Though the wall seems strong
Above the wire you've been on
To the all that you belong
Is much bigger

Giuseppe’s voice was made for this genre of music. He reminds me of Geddy Lee.
