Words As Weapons
Antaeus Lyrics

Words brought back to life
Reviving the power of words that we once spoke with meaning and passion.

Those meaning and those invective tone we had
The weight and emotion behind our words, both positive and negative, that we once wielded.

What did affect without effect
The futility of saying things that have no real impact or that fail to achieve their intended effect.

Took another form one will never neglect
The words transform into something else, something that cannot be ignored or forgotten.

Torments of angels that faded
The pain and suffering of those who were once considered divine or infallible but have since lost their luster.

All those shade I had to sew back making all one
The singer brings together disparate elements, reconciling internal conflicts and harmonizing distinct features into a singular entity.

Reaching none while
Despite their best efforts, the singer is unable to connect with others through their words.

All those shadows I had to fake
The artist puts on a facade, masking their true self and altering their words in order to fit in or avoid confrontation.

Hiding some form Praying the One...
Concealing a part of themselves from the world, seeking solace or guidance from a higher power.

Trapped in a body
The artist feels confined by their physical form, unable to express themselves fully or move as they desire.

My own betrayer
The singer feels as though their own body is working against them, hindering their progress and sabotaging their efforts.

Not allowing any moves nor excess
Their physical limitations prevent them from taking any action or accomplishing something beyond their capabilities.

An unsharp tool that damage unity
Their mind and body are not functioning in unison, causing discord and harm rather than working together towards a common goal.

An enemy within that evolves toward statues
The singer's internal struggles are becoming increasingly prominent and influential, solidifying into an unchangeable statue-like state.

Lack of motion, lack of action, Mind overprocessing
The singer is paralyzed by overanalyzing, failing to take the necessary steps towards progress or change.

For he hath shown the way and put on my path
The artist acknowledges a higher power that has guided them and directed their path forward.

The pain and the torture of a shattered body
The physical pain and suffering caused by their broken body.

I shall go on, wearing the burden of Pain, turning it
The singer endures the pain and uses it as a source of strength and motivation to keep going.

Glorifying it
Transforming the painful experience into a positive one, one that is celebrated and elevated rather than lamented.

For it didn't limit the strong For it didn't stop the Evilution
Despite the pain and challenges they faced, the artist was not defeated or held back.

For it just changed the process
The experience introduced a new process or path forward for the artist.

And made the whole scheme higher
The experience elevated the artist's perspective and approach to life, allowing them to see things from a higher vantage point.

Battling on different mindfield
The singer is fighting a mental battle, one that is not easily visible or perceivable by others.

Words as weapons
The power of words to influence and impact others, for better or for worse.

Eyes as judges
The judgment and scrutiny of others, particularly their eyes and facial expressions, that can influence the singer's confidence and self-worth.

Smell the viktory & sense the defeat
The singer can sense either victory or defeat based on subtle cues and indicators, including the scent of success or failure.
