Until Nothing Remains
BoySetsFire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rise ye wolves up above the sound
Through the choir of sheep as they drown
Raise the banner of the proud and untamed
Burn the kingdom down… until nothing remains

Death throe dance pul in quite the crowd
Cheering throngs of the scorned still unbowed
The system’s dead and we spit on the grave
Let it fucking rot… until nothing remains

You hide in a sickness that leaves you unbowed
Scorched earth policy friendships allow
For your dreams and their failings to mount
An assault on continous lies

Let them fall from your lips on the ground
And consume you in flames with your crown
You can add up your ill-gotten gains
And keep count till nothing remains

When ashes remain
Burn… ‘til the truth is out
Burn… down to hallowed ground




Burn… and rebuild again
Burn. Burn. Until nothing remains

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BoySetsFire's Until Nothing Remains reflect themes of rebellion, destruction, and the end of societal systems that embody corrupt power structures. The opening lines, "Rise ye wolves up above the sound / Through the choir of sheep as they drown," call upon those who refuse to be silenced and controlled by the flock-like mentality of the masses. The wolves, symbolic of those who possess individuality and strength, rise to overcome the drowning sheep, who follow the herd without question or critical thought.


The chorus, "Burn the kingdom down...until nothing remains," reinforces the theme of destruction and rebellion against oppressive systems. This line highlights the idea that sometimes it is necessary to completely dismantle corrupt systems in order to establish something new and just. The second verse further emphasizes this message, calling for a complete rejection of the existing societal order - "The system's dead and we spit on the grave / Let it fucking rot...until nothing remains."
