All We Are
Black Atom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Opening my soul once more, tearing at the seal
Picturing my final stand and the price I've paid
If I can make the toll then why wait?
Where are the angels? Beckoned down the blackened road
Weakened and weary, crippled with their guilt in tow
They beg me follow and sit atop their throne
And do they watch us all?
And can they see me failing?
Or are the answers all our own?
No more home, no more hope
No more prayers to receive
The fool we leave alone
No more home, no more hope
The caress that deceives
The fool we're leading home
A navigation like a moth towards the flame
Interrogation, nothing told behold the blame
Without conclusion, feel eternity with every breath
And no solution, dress our being in unending regret
And are we all we are?
Or is our conscious streaming?
An entity above us all
No more home, no more hope
No more prayers to receive
The fool we leave alone
No more home, no more hope
The caress that deceives
The fool we're leading home

And do they watch us all?
And can they see me failing?
Or are the answers all our own?
And are we all we are?
Or is our conscious streaming?
An entity above us all
No more home, no more hope
No more prayers to receive
The fool we leave alone
No more home, no more hope
The caress that deceives
The fool we're leading home
The lyrics of "All We Are" by Black Atom present a vividly introspective and spiritual journey that is loaded with introspection, philosophical ponderings, and doubt. In the first verse, the singer taps into his consciousness, describing a sense of safety that he feels while contemplating the idea of opening his soul again. The singer then imagines a final stand that he must take after paying a price, and he wonders why he should further hesitate if he can make the toll. The second verse asks questions about angels, guilt, and thrones. The singer feels like a banished savior, unsure if he must continue to walk the path alone. He wonders if there is any benevolent higher power watching over us or whether it is only our own answers that we must find.
Line by Line Meaning
Deep within my consciousness, safety that I feel
I find comfort within my own mind
Opening my soul once more, tearing at the seal
Revealing my innermost thoughts and feelings, no longer hiding them away
Picturing my final stand and the price I've paid
Thinking about my ultimate fate and the sacrifices I've made to get there
If I can make the toll then why wait?
If I'm capable of achieving my goals, why delay or hesitate?
Where are the angels? Beckoned down the blackened road
Wondering where guidance or help may come from in dark times
Weakened and weary, crippled with their guilt in tow
Feeling worn down and burdened by the guilt and mistakes of others
They beg me follow and sit atop their throne
Others seek to control and manipulate, enticing me with promises of power and influence
A banished saviour, must I walk this path alone?
Feeling isolated and rejected by those who may have once looked up to me as a savior figure
And do they watch us all?
Wondering if some higher power or force observes our every move
And can they see me failing?
Questioning if this higher power is aware of our struggles and shortcomings
Or are the answers all our own?
Wondering if we are truly responsible for our own destiny and must find our own answers
No more home, no more hope
Feeling lost and without direction or purpose
No more prayers to receive
Feeling like no one is listening, no hope for help or guidance
The fool we leave alone
Those who have been cast aside, abandoned or ostracized
The caress that deceives
Feeling comfort or affection from someone or something that ultimately betrays or hurts us
The fool we're leading home
Taking advantage of those who are vulnerable or naive, leading them into a false sense of security
A navigation like a moth towards the flame
Being drawn to something dangerous or destructive, much like a moth is drawn to a burning flame
Interrogation, nothing told behold the blame
Being questioned or blamed for something without any reason or justification
Without conclusion, feel eternity with every breath
Feeling like there will never be resolution or escape from a difficult situation
And no solution, dress our being in unending regret
Feeling like there is no way out and being consumed by regret and sorrow
And are we all we are?
Questioning the true nature of our existence and purpose
Or is our conscious streaming?
Wondering if our sense of self is constantly in flux or if we have a consistent identity
An entity above us all
Believing in something greater than ourselves that may be controlling our fate or guiding our actions
