Phoenix
Alazka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll turn my back and
Try to ignore the words
Your helping hand
When I'm not listening
I will never find a way to break
The mask you wear
Still your waiting for the rain
When have you become
A mirror of someone
Strike a match
See if you make it through the fire
Let it burn
Let it take you higher
You won't get out unhurt
And it's down to you to
Make the tables turn
The tables turn
Deep inside I know you're right
The truth in your words
Still I can't bring myself
To take a leap
Of faith on purpose
There will always be a way to break
The mask you wear
But you still hesitate
Be the one to fly above the masses
Be the phoenix rising from the ashes
As I heard
Your silence
Turned my head
Seeing you crawling
Crawling
You made me feel life
Pulled the darkness aside
You've been building up a feeling
Falling far behind
Your words
They made me feel life
Pulled the darkness aside
You've been building up a feeling
Falling so far behind
The lyrics to Alazka's song, Phoenix, describe a reconnection with someone who has betrayed the singer in the past. The singer is hesitant to forgive and forget, as they fear that the person may not be genuine in their intentions. The repeated reference to a "mask you wear" could suggest that the person in question is putting on a façade, and is not truly showing their true self or true intentions. The lyrics also seem to be an appeal for the person to come clean and show their true self. The repeated reference to a phoenix rising from the ashes could symbolize either the singer or the person in question being able to rise from their past mistakes and misdeeds, and start afresh.
The chorus of the song encourages the person to "strike a match" and "let it burn" in order to "take you higher." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for embracing one's true self or acknowledging one's past mistakes and starting afresh. The singer acknowledges that they know the other person is right, but are still hesitant to take a "leap of faith on purpose." Ultimately, the song seems to be about the struggle to let go of past hurts and trust someone again while acknowledging the need for personal growth and change in order to move forward.

@kingolachs2954
We really need Alazka back... It's so fkn genius.
@JohnDoe-mv2be
Won't happen bc their guitarist is in Floya. But Kaz has been teasing a soloEP for awhile, it's in German but it's still so good
@samanthagunn4988
Where are they now? I'd love to hear any new music
@meatshield72
Floya is a great new band with the Alazka guitarist. Certainly make sure you check them out. You're right though we this Alazka....this Alazka album will forever be one of the greatest albums of all time. I am certainly beyond grateful we were able to get this album from them.
@meatshield72
@@samanthagunn4988 They broke up. Back in 2020 the clean singer Kassim Auale left the band. The original vocalist Tobias Rische took on all vocal duties and they released a few singles. Eventually they broke up. Guitarist Marv Wilder went on to form Floya (Which is a must listen) and Tobias went on to take over vocal duties for Novelists FR.
@forcedentry2010
The clean vocalist's voice gives me chills. Sounds fantastic
