Carrier Flux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We forget the crooked past
Gather up the guilt within
And pour out this my everything
A new seed we've now found
The time has wasted it away
Look beside and all around
No souls but still I've hope
We stand cloaked in our pain
This the dance of silent lives
And rising on our blackened will
We are handling life to her
This hope will never leave alive
Rule of blood and old!
Forgive the rule and blood of old
For law and ethic were yet untold
Rule will form as conflict grows
And men will drive the courses of hate as force untolds
Clinging on the Faith and Dirge
We Fold unto the longest road
As sure as stone and black as coal
We drive the blind in darkness bold
Behind the Drained and bloody smile
A man whose view is now on trial
Will the blackened force of men or the dream-
Pump this heart again
The opening lines of Carrier Flux's song Rebirth prompt the listener to reflect on their past actions and their stance towards leaving behind what is no longer useful or relevant. The lines "Step aside and turn around / We forget the crooked past / Gather up the guilt within / And pour out this my everything" urge us to let go of our past transgressions, to find the strength to move on, and to ask for forgiveness.
In the following lines, Carrier Flux highlights the importance of hope even in seemingly hopeless circumstances as they say "No souls but still I've hope / We stand cloaked in our pain." This idea of clinging onto hope is repeated throughout the song as a means of survival and shaping one's own destiny. The band recognizes the fact that life is a dance, one in which we all play a part, and its outcomes are dependent upon our actions which are symbolized by the lines "And rising on our blackened will / We are handling life to her / This hope will never leave alive." Rebirth is all about moving on, about finding the strength to face the consequences of our actions and make a better future.
