BatAAr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the corner of your darkest hours
You face your enemy
Face to face
Eye for an eye
To be or not to be
That is the question
You will lose the war
All you've got is just an illusion
And you can't live through this
Just by saving the day
It takes you an entire scripture
Just to tell us 'bout few
But you don't have the courage
To handle everything with care
You don't need a muscle
Just a place to stay
If the world is HEAVEN
Why does most of it
Look like HELL?
Go on and
Kill it
You're always looking for more
You will never understand
That there is no score
Break all there is
Just to destroy your dreams
Confront all of your fears
To be more than nothing
There is no time for you after all
Go on and just pretend to fall
Good or bad
Everybody wants to be a hero
Keep on pretending that you've got
The power
You will destroy it in 3, 2, 1
Seconds
The lyrics to "Faith" by BatAAr paint a picture of fighting against internal and external struggles. The first stanza is a vivid depiction of feeling overwhelmed and having to face one's enemies in the midst of dark times. It's a battle where there is no clear winner, and even if one emerges victorious, they will still lose in the end. The line, "All you've got is just an illusion" speaks to the idea that the idea of winning may be just a figment of our imagination, and we can't rely on it to pull us through difficult situations.
The second stanza highlights the idea that sometimes we need a lot of words to convey a message, but when it comes to taking action, we falter. The line, "You don't need a muscle, just a place to stay" suggests that strength doesn't necessarily come from physical power, but from having a sense of belonging or purpose. The song then takes a darker tone with the line, "If the world is HEAVEN, why does most of it look like HELL?" This speaks to the idea that even though we may strive for happiness and positivity, the reality of our world is often harsh and unforgiving.
The final stanza speaks to the human desire to be heroes and to have power, despite the fact that this often leads to destruction. The line, "Keep on pretending that you've got the power. You will destroy it in 3, 2, 1 seconds" suggests that this quest for power and heroism is ultimately self-destructive.
