Into You
Before the Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loud is the sound I hear inside and through the walls that hide the cries
With cruel words able to paralyze
Tear in pieces the structure of your pride
Into you I bring all pain
Defenseless, senses unable to testify the damage done
Into you I bring all pain
Calm before all hell or so I feel, today as I seem weak outside,
It is my truth which you can't find and I enjoy to live a lie
You I cannot save, prevent your destruction
Unable to give protection from myself
The Antichrist in shape of angel
Guiding through the dark
Stay a while to show how I can change in seconds
Proving you were wrong
The lyrics of "Into You" by Before the Dawn express the feelings of someone who is filled with a desire to inflict pain and cause destruction upon another person. The person in question has managed to hide their true feelings and intentions behind a false front of peace and calmness. The singer wants to experience the pain and suffering of the person they are addressing, and they want to tear apart the structure of their pride.
The lyrics are filled with a sense of darkness and despair. The person speaking is unable to save the person they are addressing from their own self-destructive tendencies. They know that they are like the Antichrist in the guise of an angel, leading the other person down a dark path. However, they are also filled with a desire to prove the other person wrong and show that they are capable of change, even though their intentions are still rooted in destruction and pain.
Overall, the lyrics of "Into You" are haunting and filled with a sense of longing for something that can never truly be obtained. The singer wants to cause pain and destruction, but they also want to prove their worth and their ability to change.

Feast my eyes with grief and pain or I will lose my strength to go on
If I don't allow myself to feel the intense discomfort of sadness, I won't have the energy to keep persevering in life
Loud is the sound I hear inside and through the walls that hide the cries
The internal pain I experience is so loud that it even permeates through the physical barriers that try to contain it

Calm before all hell or so I feel, today as I seem weak outside,
I may appear composed externally, but internally I am in turmoil and bracing for impact

I may display sudden, drastic shifts in behavior or mood to keep people on their toes
Proving you were wrong
Attempting to demonstrate that someone's initial impressions or judgments about me were incorrect
