Conspire
Antimatter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

While I lie here burning, you're encased in ice
With tainted eyes upon your tainted soul
It's no wonder I'm so cold
A terrible thing I'm learning as tears are turned to ice
These four walls will be my dreaded foes
As I rot here in this hole

Do you conspire to hold me down?
Do you conspire to hold?
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Have I wasted a dream?

Restless seas will murder me tonight
As you appease effortlessly the open mouths of hungry thieves




There'll be no silent empathy inside
No colour or shades of hope

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Antimatter's song "Conspire" delve into themes of isolation and betrayal. The first two lines immediately set up a stark contrast between the singer's burning, passionate emotions and the cold, frozen demeanor of the person they're addressing. The "tainted eyes" and "tainted soul" suggest that this person is corrupt or deceitful in some way, yet the singer seems all too aware that they themselves are trapped in this toxic dynamic. They're cold and alone, stuck in a "hole" while the other person remains distant and indifferent. The repeated question of "Do you conspire to hold me down?" underscores this sense of being trapped and constrained, as if the singer is at the mercy of someone else's agenda or hidden motives. The final lines about "restless seas" and "open mouths of hungry thieves" add to the sense of danger and uncertainty, as if the singer is adrift in a world that is hostile and unforgiving.


Overall, "Conspire" is a powerful song that confronts some difficult emotions and themes. The mood is somber and reflective, but there's also a sense of defiance in the way the singer refuses to be completely crushed by their circumstances. It's a song that speaks to anyone who has felt trapped or betrayed, yet still manages to find some glimmer of hope in the midst of adversity.

With tainted eyes upon your tainted soul
You possess corrupt thoughts and intentions which reflect in your being


It's no wonder I'm so cold
Your cruel actions towards me have made me feel emotionless and numb


A terrible thing I'm learning as tears are turned to ice
I am realizing the harsh truth that my tears of despair and sadness freeze due to your lack of concern and kindness


These four walls will be my dreaded foes
The walls of my imprisonment will be my enemies, constantly reminding me of my confinement and misery


As I rot here in this hole
I suffer a slow and painful death while being trapped in this hopeless place


Do you conspire to hold me down?
Are you plotting against me to keep me restrained and oppressed?

Restless seas will murder me tonight
The violent and turbulent ocean will bring about my unfortunate demise this evening


As you appease effortlessly the open mouths of hungry thieves

There'll be no silent empathy inside
You lack sympathy and compassion for me or others, and this will become apparent


No colour or shades of hope
There is no brightness or optimism in this bleak and desolate situation

This song hurts so much. Reminds me on that day where my girlfriend probably decided, we didn't had a future. She was sitting on her couch and was crying endlessly. And this song was playing in the background. I was just paralyzed.

I simply can say nothing about this song... Just wish there was, instead of a 'like' button, a 'love' button.
