Revival
Before Their Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're not who you say we are.

We are everything that you can handle
You've done it once
When will this end.

Broken in pieces
This life's in shambles
Damaged from the start
Your dreams are dead.
Oh, no! x2

You've pushed me
To the edge again, again.

And now you're
Barely breathing. x2
Oh, no! x2

Their truth is torn apart
When will this end
You need revival regression.

I can't stand the way
You take the show
'Cause the questions.

No repercussions for your actions
You don't deserve our trust.

Second chances are not something I have lived for.

I am done with this
I am done with you. x2
Oh, no! x2

You've pushed me
To the edge again, again.

And now you're
Barely breathing. x2
Oh, no! x4

Their truth is torn apart
When will this end
You need revival regression.

Your dreams are dead
Yeah, they've been
Damaged from the start. x2

I'll sing it one more time
You've gotta show some heart.

You're spreading lies
You can't
Disguise them now. x2

We found you out
It's endless, you need revival.

Oh! Now you're barely breathing.
Oh! Let the struggle sink in.

Oh, no! x2

You've pushed me
To the edge again, again.

And now you're
Barely breathing. x2
Oh, no! x2

Their truth is torn apart




When will this end
You need revival regression.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Before Their Eyes' song "Revival" speak to the pain and frustration experienced by someone who has been let down by another person or group. The song begins with the declaration that the singer and their people are not who they are judged to be. Instead, they consider themselves strong and capable, even though they have been hurt before. Despite being damaged and broken, they don't want to give up and they don't want to be underestimated or dismissed.


As the song progresses, the singer addresses the person or people responsible for their pain directly, telling them that they have been pushed to the edge and can no longer tolerate their actions or lies. The singer threatens to cut ties with the person responsible and urges them to show some heart and honesty if they want to revive the relationship. However, the singer acknowledges that second chances are not always possible, and that some people simply cannot be trusted.


In the end, the singer pleads with the person to seek a spiritual or emotional revival that will help them become better versions of themselves. They urge the person to confront their own damaging behavior and strive for a better future where trust, respect, and honesty can prevail.
