Retribution
Altersight Lyrics

The lyrics to Altersight's song "Retribution" speak about the singer's defiance and refusal to be deceived by the lies and manipulation of others. The opening lines, "How many lives I have lived... And I don't believe you. I am immortal, it's the gift. And I know it's true," suggest a sense of wisdom and self-awareness. The singer believes in their own resilience and enduring spirit, dismissing the falsehoods presented to them.

The lyrics continue with the refusal to succumb to manipulation, with the lines "Why should I run away from your lies? I won't play!" This portrays a strong sense of independence and determination, refusing to play along with the deceitful games of others. The mention of tears of sorrow and the feeling that someone might be present but unable to prove it add layers of melancholy and psychological tension to the song. The singer questions the validity of their experiences, wondering if they are real or mere illusions.

The chorus repeats the refusal to be swayed by lies, emphasizing the singer's defiance and steadfastness. The final lines express a desire for retribution and justice, with the words "Are you screaming when you feel the pain? You will die! You must pay!" This showcases a vengeful spirit, indicating a longing for justice to be served upon those who have caused harm.
