Balance Of Power Lyrics

[Written by: Southern & Ritchie]

Sit down beside me let me feast upon your dreams
You can fill up all your emptiness from here
Tell me all about everything and ask me what it means
'cause I'm loaded with the things you want to hear

And if I see the invisible yeah I know it's impossible

It's a necessary evil

Underneath the pin pricked blanket if the purple sky
You can still make out the shadow of the stone
How high can feelings run with crutches by your side
And how brightly do you burn when you're alone?

And I feel the invisible yeah I know it's impossible
And I see the invisible yeah I know it's impossible

It's a necessary hunger
It's a necessary pain
It's a necessary craving
It's a necessary evil
Evil
It's a necessary lusting
It's a necessary bleeding
It's another kind of healing
It's a necessary evil
Evil





It's a necessary evil
Evil is all I have.

Overall Meaning

The song "Necessary Evil" by Balance of Power speaks of the unavoidable hardships that we experience in life. The opening verse describes how the singer is willing to listen to the dreams of others in order to provide a sense of fulfillment. He understands the emptiness that people feel and tries to fill it with his words. In the following verse, the singer delves a little deeper and alludes to the difficulties that people face when alone. He speaks of the pain and the hunger that people feel, and describes them as a necessary evil.


The chorus repeats the phrase "It's a necessary evil" several times to drive the point home. This phrase, with its repetition, seems to emphasize the unwanted yet indispensable aspect of life, such as pain, hunger or lusting. The final line "Evil is all I have" is perhaps a reflection of the author's innermost thoughts, suggesting that even if we do not wish to accept it, evil is an inherent aspect of life that we must come to terms with.
