Aviators Lyrics

Awake inside the nexus of the earth
The singer is fully present and alert in a place that is central, connected, and fundamental to the planet.

A place of comfort, for spirits' birth
This place is also where spirits are born and nurtured, representing a source of solace and protection.

Your essence held, in my unbroken hands
The singer has taken hold of the very core of another entity or being and is keeping it safe.

A shadow lost to foiled plans

In the peak of the night
The darkest time of the night, when it is at its highest point and most intense.

I will set you free
The singer promises to liberate the other and allow them to move on from their current state.

Now you're a ghost in the light
After being freed, the other is now like a ghost, ethereal and otherworldly, in the presence of illumination.

With the brand that we
The 'brand' or mark that both the artist and the other carry.

Hold inside our hearts
This mark is something that is cherished and deeply felt by both parties, residing within their innermost being.

So may your dreams be monumental

When your spirit guides the way

I will be the whispers in your mind

The demon inside
This presence is referred to as a 'demon' due to its dark and mysterious nature.

A dark embrace, the keeper of the lost
The artist's presence is akin to a sinister but protective embrace, serving as a guardian for those who are forgotten.

For this old city's unyielding cost
This city is the source of the singer's power but has taken a toll on them that cannot be avoided or remedied.

So take my hand and grow within my power

Oh, slayer of kings, let this demon devour

Don't let down your guard

Let in the darkness
