It's Now So Clear
Ashers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you can't have what you want
cuz it's been taken
submission, depression
pills booze dark rooms
so pathetic ask yourself
what's the fucking use
get trashed smash glass
life's tough think straight
now no one's safe
its no use fuck you i hate you
and sooner or later
i'm coming to get you
hatred has ended this depression
look in my eyes
revenge is coming
and that's a promise
pay for your lies
i can see there's no way out
its now so clear
what must be done
i wore no armor yeah you saw me cry
tears of hatred now desensitized
how do you feel
i feel no remorse
i watch as fate turns a drastic course
bloody red rivers run from your veins
stab slice cut never again
never again
it must be done
never again
The lyrics to Ashers's song "It's Now So Clear" talks about someone who feels helpless because they are always down on their luck and can't seem to catch a break. They feel like everything they want has been taken away from them and they are left with nothing but submission, depression, pills, booze, and dark rooms. The person is so overwhelmed by their life's circumstances that they begin to question what the point of it all is. They resort to getting trashed, smashing glass, and lashing out at those around them because they don't see any other way out.
However, as the song progresses, the person's attitude shifts. They declare that they hate everyone and that they will come after those who have wronged them. The person wants revenge and promises to make those who have lied to them pay for their actions. They have come to a realization that there is no way out of the situation they are in and that they must take matters into their own hands. The person is now desensitized to their feelings and can watch as fate turns a drastic course.
Overall, the song is about someone who has hit rock bottom and has decided to fight back against those who have wronged them. Although the lyrics may come off as aggressive and violent, they provide an outlet for someone who has felt powerless and defeated. The lyrics represent the struggles that people face in their lives and how they can overcome them by taking control of their situation.

The Unseen still play. however do to a shit economy it's a little harder to leave your day job and jump on the road. they still play around boston every once and a while, however their taking a much deserved rest from touring, as they did it for about ten years straight.
