The Origin
Born Of Osiris - Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We conquered fate
Never abandoning our face
We will be found
Refusing the voice of doubt

We conquered fate
Never abandoning our face (intricate)
We will be found
Refusing the voice of doubt

Endless games you play
Why do you try to escape?
When will it become worth it
To convince yourself that you're satisfied
When the obstacles have been so neatly placed
In your design sensors miscommunicate
The failure lies in distrust of your natural instincts

I've seen the shattering of my composition
What an unfortunate visualization

We must undo the damage imprinted in
Our experience has kept us all detained
Now our design fuses missed and severed links
It will take time to reconstruct our primitive instincts

The essence of observation
Has shown us how to live
This passage in circulation
Gives birth to clarity

We are not alone (we are not alone)
In this game of exchange
In this game of retaliation
We are not alone
Endless games you play
Why do you try to escape?
When will it become worth it
To face the wrath in action
Erase establishment
To see they are worthless

We conquered fate
Never abandoning our face (intricate)
We will be found
Refusing the voice of doubt
We conquered fate
Never abandoning our face (intricate)




We will be found
Refusing the voice of doubt

DeezlyOG

their best song and album by them
IN MY OPINION
(before people rage)
this album holds a very special place in my heart...

Ido You

Avoid all fluoride it calcifies third eye

Jon Alvarado

I nearly raged when I read this

Ramon Segura

One thing that impresses me about BOO, is the incorporation of the Synth tracks. Really adds to the brutality.

Dylan Valorfall

Ramon Segura I'd say it adds to the "epicness", not brutality.

Jonny H

Ramon Segura I agree, man. When they hit them with breakdowns, it breaks up the rhythm enough where it sounds horrific in a good way.

Joanna Clla

i totally agree
