HUMANATURE
BatAAr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is here to stay
You say you can't go on
But this is what life chose for us
So wash away these fading signs of youth
Problems of misdirection
Silver bullets
Try to evade in vain
As it all wears you down
What else did you expect?
Again...
You miss the good old days
But nostalgia clouds it all
You speak of redemption
So rid me of your sin
I am the desert
My soul is on fire
Unholy spark of life
There are no signs
To believe anymore
Anymore...
TIME WILL TEAR US APART
You speak of...
The lyrics to BatAAr's song HUMANATURE paint a picture of a dystopian world where problems of misdirection and the fading signs of youth are washed away by the dawn of our nature. The singer acknowledges that life has brought them to this point and even though it wears them down, there's no escape. The mention of sticks and stones and silver bullets signify the struggle to evade what's coming, but it's all in vain. The singer questions what else we were expecting when we miss the good old days, but nostalgia clouds our judgement.
In the second part of the song, the singer speaks of redemption as a way to rid them of sin. They refer to themselves as the desert, their soul on fire with the unholy spark of life. They admit that there are no signs to believe in anymore, as time will tear us apart. The overall tone of the song is bleak, but the lyrics suggest that we must accept our nature and our fate in order to move forward, despite the challenges that come with it.
Line by Line Meaning
The dawn of our nature
The beginning of who we are as human beings
Is here to stay
It is a permanent part of us
You say you can't go on
You express your inability to move forward
But this is what life chose for us
We have been dealt this hand by fate
So wash away these fading signs of youth
Let go of the things that defined us in the past
Problems of misdirection
Obstacles caused by a lack of clear goals
Sticks and stones,
Words or actions that hurt us
Silver bullets
An attempt to find a quick and easy solution
Try to evade in vain
Attempt to avoid something that cannot be avoided
As it all wears you down
As everything becomes too much to handle
What else did you expect?
What other outcome could you have imagined?
You miss the good old days
You long for a time in the past
But nostalgia clouds it all
But the memories have become distorted over time
You speak of redemption
You talk about making up for past mistakes
So rid me of your sin
Cleanse yourself of your wrongdoing
I am the desert
I am a desolate place
My soul is on fire
My inner self is burning
Unholy spark of life
A sense of existence that feels wrong or negatively charged
There are no signs
There is no indication or guide
To believe anymore
To have faith in something is becoming more difficult
Anymore...
It used to be different, but not anymore
TIME WILL TEAR US APART
The passage of time will not leave us unscathed
