Reborn
Avrigus Lyrics

The opening lines, "Look to the sky, I feel dead inside / My wings subside, I see hope die" are symbolic of the singer's despair and hopelessness. The imagery of their wings subsiding is especially poignant, as wings often represent freedom and the ability to soar above one's problems. The idea that hope is dying also suggests a sense of finality and loss. The singer is at a point where they feel as though they have exhausted all their options and are resigned to their fate.

The next few lines, "I am alone and every day / I wish that death would come take me away / Cut out the pain that I feel inside / I die..." further emphasize the singer's sense of isolation and desperation. The fact that they are hoping for death to take them away is a clear indication that they are struggling to find meaning and purpose in their life. They are in so much pain that they feel as though death would be a relief.

The following lines shift slightly to describe the source of the singer's pain: "In spite of it all; you hurt me and you'll never know / This feeling of shame / The lies that you told add fuel to the fire of my pain / You conceal the blame." Here, the singer is directly addressing whoever has hurt them. The fact that the person will never know the extent of the singer's pain suggests that the singer has been keeping their feelings hidden, possibly out of fear or shame. The use of fire imagery to describe the pain is striking and suggests a sense of intensity and burning emotion.

The chorus, "Show me my life; Broken / Show me my life; Wasted / Show me my life; Empty / This was life, take me now" is a direct plea to whoever or whatever is listening to simply end the singer's life. The descriptors used to describe the singer's life - broken, wasted, empty - are all negative and suggest that the singer sees no hope or positivity in their existence. They are ready to give up entirely.

However, the final verse provides a glimmer of hope: "Burdened by shame, wasted away all of my days / Out of the cold I feel a light from deep inside... / Take to the sky, I soar like a bird / My wings spread wide, I feel alive!" The fact that the singer has been burdened by shame suggests that they have been carrying around a heavy emotional weight for some time. The idea of feeling a light from deep inside suggests that they have found a source of inner strength or resilience that they didn't know they had. The final lines, where the singer takes to the sky and feels alive again, suggest that they have overcome their previous sense of hopelessness and are now reborn.
