Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know all your lies
Some will say you're blind
How do we take
How do we take
Back our lives
Who was there to save
Who was there to save
Fall into the unknown
Covet the rusting moon
How do we take
How do we take
Back our lives
Who was there to save
Who was there to save
The times you bled
In the first verse, the lyrics "Tomorrow is born to die, I know all your lies" suggest a sense of inevitability and betrayal. The singer seems to be aware of the falsehoods or deceit that someone is perpetuating. The reference to tomorrow being born to die could reflect a cyclical or repetitive nature of life, where even the promise of a new day is eventually met with an end. This could point to a feeling of disillusionment or resignation towards the future.
The mention of being blind in the lines "Some will say you're blind" can be interpreted as a metaphor for ignorance or denial. It could be suggesting that despite the lies being told, some may not see the truth due to their own limitations or unwillingness to confront reality. This could speak to themes of deception and manipulation, where the truth is obscured or overlooked by those involved.
The refrain in the chorus "How do we take back our lives, who was there to save the times you bled" reflects a desire for agency and redemption. The repeated questioning of how to reclaim control over their lives indicates a struggle for autonomy or freedom from whatever oppression or hardship they face. The mention of someone bleeding could symbolize suffering or vulnerability, and the plea for someone to save them suggests a need for support or rescue in difficult times.
The lines "Fall into the unknown, covet the rusting moon" introduce imagery of uncertainty and decay. Falling into the unknown could represent a descent into uncharted territory or facing the unfamiliar with apprehension. The idea of coveting the rusting moon could symbolize a yearning for something unattainable or fading. This can evoke a sense of longing or nostalgia for things that were once bright but are now tarnished, further emphasizing a theme of loss or disillusionment.
