Regrets
Amarna Reign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vines that stretch a centuries time
Infinite faults by corrosions
Carving through, Defining life
Sand to stone
Coal to diamond
Inverting mountains
What if gods could bleed
We are all lost
In perception
Becoming content,
Denied
Shapes are changing
And conforming
To live a portraits life
I'll leave the stars in the sea
Throw the sky to my feet
Make the dreams make believe
It's all I've ever allowed myself to see
This is manifestation of unkown regrets
You're worth no more
Than than the finite world you perceive
The same false hope,
Your worst claims to be.
The lyrics of Amarna Reign’s song Regrets speaks of the earthly struggles and torments faced by human beings. The opening lines, “Like Pulling strings on a marionette, Vines that stretch a centuries time” compares human life to a marionette, highlighting how life is controlled by infinite forces and is stretched across centuries through time. The next line, “Infinite faults by corrosions” signifies how human life is carved through infinite failures, hardships and obstacles that shape and define one’s life. The succeeding lines, “Sand to stone, Coal to diamond, Inverting mountains, Cascading lies” further reinforce the idea of transformation, of how something as simple as sand can be turned into stone, how lies cascade like mountains turning everything upside down.
The line, “What if gods could bleed” is an intriguing question that speaks of the vulnerability of the divine, implying that even the divine beings can bleed and experience pain. The chorus, “We are all lost, In perception, Becoming content, Denied” suggests that humans tend to get lost in their own perceptions of the world, becoming content with the things they know and denying themselves the opportunity to find new truths. The next stanza speaks of how humans tend to conform to societal norms, losing their own identity to fit a portrait, signifying the struggle to live up to expectations of the society.
The final lines of the song, “This is manifestation of unknown regrets, You're worth no more, Than than the finite world you perceive, The same false hope, Your worst claims to be” highlights the struggle of humans, wherein the perception one creates for oneself is finite and that regret is often manifested from the inability to perceive infinite possibilities.

Denied
Not allowing ourselves to have what we truly desire
Shapes are changing
Things are constantly transforming
And conforming
Becoming similar to those around us
To live a portraits life
Trying to make our lives match up to an idealized picture
I'll leave the stars in the sea
Giving up on dreams or aspirations that seem impossible
Throw the sky to my feet
Rejecting lofty ideals and focusing only on what's within reach
Make the dreams make believe
Dismissing fantasies or unrealistic desires
It's all I've ever allowed myself to see
Limiting oneself to what seems practical or achievable
This is manifestation of unknown regrets
Expressing emotions about things that we may not even be aware of
You're worth no more
We aren't inherently valuable
Than the finite world you perceive
We are only worth as much as what we can experience with our limited perceptions
The same false hope,
Continuing to believe in something even when it's proven false
Your worst claims to be.
The thing that we think is our strength and what makes us unique is actually holding us back.
