As We Fight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of "Annihilation" by As We Fight are a reminder that no matter how powerful one may feel in this world, they will always meet their end. The first line talks about how the person, likely the song's antagonist, will never rest in their grave and will never escape their fate. The song's focus then shifts to the people who have suffered at their hands, their eyes filled with guilt and the horrors they have experienced haunting the antagonist's dreams.
The lyrics then shift tone to a more aggressive one as the song becomes an anthem for fighting against the odds. The world is described as an ugly place that we are all forced to deal with, and the vocalist declares that they will fight tooth and nail to never be defeated. The song turns into a rallying cry for the underdog, with the chorus stating that the enemies will bleed and defeat will never be accepted.
In conclusion, As We Fight's "Annihilation" is a powerful and emotional song that calls for strength in the face of adversity and serves as a reminder that no one is truly invincible.
Line by Line Meaning
You will never rest in your forsaken grave
You will never be at peace even in death.
You will never escape.
You will never be able to avoid the consequences of your actions.
You see it in their faces, staring cold.
You can see the judgment and condemnation in their expression.
Eyes that could bury the entire world with guilt.
Their condemning gaze could make anyone feel guilty for their actions.
The horrors that they endured shall haunt you in your dreams.
The pain and suffering of others will torment and haunt you.
You take this life and love for granted.
You do not appreciate the value of life and love.
You see their wastelands and turn the other cheek
You ignore the suffering of others and do not take action to help.
When the flames of hell comes crashing down you will be the first to go. The first to go! Smashed beyond recognition!
When the consequences of your actions catch up to you, you will suffer greatly.
This world is an ugly place and we're all forced to deal with it. So get the fuck out of my face!
The world can be difficult to navigate, but you should not take it out on others.
I'm just like you trying to get by on what I know. Making every day count as my last.
I am just like you, trying to make the most of my time and knowledge.
Annihilation! Enemies will bleed.
Our enemies will suffer the consequences of their actions.
We will never accept defeat. We're never on our knees. Always fight to stay free!
We will never give up or surrender. We will always fight to maintain our freedom.
