VAIN STRUCTURES
BatAAr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The stage is set for the dreadnoughts
All I'm asking for is defiance
Public derailment for our pleasure
All I'm asking for is strife
Let's clench our fists in unison
All I'm asking for are echoes
Many a vain man will shatter these walls
Grasping and picking our ideals apart
The future we imagined for ourselves
Is lost
We are, all remnants
Remnants, are we content?
We are, all remnants
Remnants, pledge yourself
Many a vain man will shatter these walls
Grasping and picking our ideals apart
The future we imagined for ourselves
Is lost
The lyrics to BatAAr's song Vain Structures present themes of defiance, conflict, and anticipation of the future. The opening lines "there's no getting off this train" and "the stage is set for the dreadnoughts" emphasize that the moment is set and the characters in the song cannot avoid the confrontation or the impending conflict. The singer is asking for "defiance" and "echoes," further highlighting the importance of standing up for oneself, speaking out, and being heard.
The chorus "many a vain man will shatter these walls" suggests critics or individuals who do not share the same views as the singer will attempt to tear down their convictions. Such critics will "grasp" and "pick apart" the singer's ideals, which the singer and the remnants hold dearly. As a result, the future they imagined for themselves is lost, leaving them as mere "remnants." The final lines, "remnants, are we content? Remnants, pledge yourself," raise a sense of introspection and hope for the singer and all remnants to commit themselves to their beliefs and continue to fight for what they believe in, despite the challenges.

There's no getting off this train
We are already on a path that we cannot deviate from
The stage is set for the dreadnoughts
A disastrous event is about to occur and it's already been predetermined
All I'm asking for is defiance
I am requesting for an opposition to the impending doom
Public derailment for our pleasure
We desire to see destruction happen publicly
All I'm asking for is strife
I am imploring for conflict and struggle
Let's clench our fists in unison
We must all band together and prepare ourselves for what's to come
All I'm asking for are echoes
I want others to echo my sentiments and join me in this fight
Many a vain man will shatter these walls
Many arrogant individuals will destroy our beliefs and values
Grasping and picking our ideals apart
They will scrutinize and dismantle our principles
The future we imagined for ourselves
Our aspirations and dreams for the future
Is lost
Have been destroyed and are no longer achievable
We are, all remnants
We remain as the fragments of what we used to be
Remnants, are we content?
Are we satisfied with what we have become?
Remnants, pledge yourself
We must commit and dedicate ourselves to a cause
