Career Suicide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
BRING TO LIGHT BRING TO LIGHT
CLAMOR THROUGH THE DARKNESS ONLY TO FIND AN EMPTY NIGHT
COME TO LIGHT COME TO LIGHT
SEEK ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS BUT THE PERSPECTIVE IS OUT OF SIGHT
OH HOW WORDS SEEM TO BETRAY
DIDN"T YOU KNOW IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER WAY?
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO SHOW A WEAKNESS SHIVER OR AN ACHE
BRING TO LIGHT BRING TO LIGHT
CLAMOR THROUGH THE DARKNESS ONLY TO FIND AN EMPTY NIGHT
COME TO LIGHT COME TO LIGHT
SEEK ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS BUT THE PERSPECTIVE IS OUT OF SIGHT
OH HOW WORDS SEEM TO BETRAY
DIDN'T YOU KNOW IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER WAY?
WHAT COULDN'T YOU FACE?
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO SHOW A WEAKNESS, SHIVER OR AN ACHE
WHY DID I JUST FIND OUT NOW
SET MYSELF UP TO TAKE THE BAIT
THINGS CAN SEEM SO CERTAIN
SEEM SO SEDATE
WE'RE NEVER FORCED TO QUESTION
THE REALITIES WE CREATE
OVER AND OVER THE PATTERNS WE IGNORE
ALWAYS READY START OVER
READY TO TAKE MORE
OH HOW WORDS SEEM TD BETRAY
DIDN’T YOU KNOW IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER WAY?
WHAT COULDN'T YOU FACE?
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO SHOW A WEAKNESS, SHIVER OR AN ACHE
The song “Realities” by Career Suicide explores the struggle to find meaning in life and the consequences of blindly accepting the realities we have created for ourselves. The lyrics speak of the pursuit of answers and solutions, but also of the frustration of not being able to see a new perspective beyond the darkness. The idea of betrayal by words is also present, suggesting that language often fails to convey the complexity of our experiences. The song suggests that we must question the realities we have created for ourselves and challenge the patterns we follow in order to find a true sense of purpose.
The repeated lines of “Bring to light” and “Come to light” create a sense of urgency and desperation to find meaning. The phrase “empty night” suggests a sense of loneliness and emptiness in this search. The line “you’ve never been one to show a weakness, shiver or an ache” implies a stoic attitude towards pain and vulnerability. The realization that the realities we have created must be questioned is powerful, with the line “we’re never forced to question the realities we create” highlighting the importance of self-reflection and critical thinking.
In addition to the thought-provoking lyrics, the song features a fast-paced punk rock sound that matches the urgency and intensity of the message. The combination of the music and lyrics make “Realities” an impactful and memorable song that encourages listeners to challenge their own assumptions about the world.
