Traces
Alianza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
at the beginning of the times,
always telling a truth,
across the Universe.
Now they return with the mission to help
this sick world, sick of evil.
that can hold within some answer,
to so much pain, to so much cynicism,
and to a decision of self destruction.
Ancestral temples,
marks on the stones,
ships and cities,
traces in the ground.
Talk of other beings,
that inhabited before,
wisdom from other worlds,
something left to us.
They are here all the time.
Feeling the end of human beings.
Wanting to avoid what it is to come.
Knowing we don't want to die.
They can see beyond.
Feeling, waiting for a signal.
Wanting to prevent it one more time.
Knowing that day will soon arrive.
They are here all the time.
Feeling the end of human beings.
Wanting to avoid what it is to come.
Knowing we don't want to die.
They know... they can see beyond.
Feeling, waiting for a signal.
Wanting to prevent it one more time.
Knowing that day will soon arrive.
Feeling...
Wanting...
Knowing...
The song "Traces" by Alianza speaks about the possibility of ancient extraterrestrial beings visiting Earth and leaving behind traces and signals for humans to decipher. The opening lines talk about someone who came to Earth in the beginning of time, always telling the truth across the universe. The lyrics suggest that these beings came with a mission to help the sick world and prevent the self-destruction of humankind. They left behind marks on the stones, ancestral temples, ships, cities, and traces in the ground that hold some answers to the pain, cynicism, and self-destruction that humans face.
The chorus talks about these extraterrestrial beings being present all the time, feeling the end of human beings, and wanting to avoid it. They can see beyond and are waiting for a signal to prevent the impending self-destruction of humanity once again. They know that the day will soon arrive, and they are feeling, wanting and knowing that they must prevent it.
The song highlights the belief that humans are not the only intelligent life form in the universe and that extraterrestrial beings could have visited Earth in the past. The lyrics suggest that these beings tried to prevent self-destruction by leaving behind messages and signals. The song is a reminder that humans need to take responsibility for their actions and protect their planet, just like these ancient beings did.
