MILITIA
Crim3s Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The hands of wars are touching me
Ashed out the stars so easily
Too sick to breathe in seas of sleep
The sky will see fear in me
Salute the thief and trust in hate
Sold the lie that dreams aren't free
The hands of force are blinding me
To think the world so happily

The hands of madness order me
Peace let loose insanity
Too sick to breathe in seas of sleep
The sky will see fear in me
Salute the thief and trust in hate
Sold the lie that dreams aren't free
The hands of force are blinding me
To think the world so happily

LIAR
LIAR
LIAR

As i believe in you




As i believe
As i breathe for you

Overall Meaning

These lyrics showcase a sense of overwhelming despair and loss of control. The words "hands of wars" and "hands of force" suggest external forces are at work, beyond the singer's control, impacting their life in a negative way. The line "ashed out the stars so easily" perhaps alludes to a sense of hopelessness, as though the stars are representative of hope or light, and these external forces have extinguished them easily. The repeated phrase "too sick to breathe in seas of sleep" suggests their despair is so severe that even in sleep, they cannot escape it.


The chorus of the song repeats the words "salute the thief and trust in hate" and "sold the lie that dreams aren't free." These lyrics suggest a sense of betrayal or disillusionment with something or someone they once trusted. The phrase "salute the thief" implies they are acknowledging someone's dishonesty or malevolence, and "trust in hate" suggests they feel as though hate is more trustworthy than whatever they previously believed in. The line "sold the lie that dreams aren't free" could be interpreted as an indictment of societal systems that promise success or happiness but ultimately profit off the hard work and suffering of others.

Absolutely love you guys! Even wrote a poem to the beat of this song:

It hurts when you walk away
It hurts when you kiss
Love is a safety word
That's easy to dismiss

We wrote our names in the sand
I knew there would be a flood
In my hallowed form I watched
As you wrote in with my blood

Tunnel out your humanity
Let the screams fall through
Blur the line between love and hate
And see how far it gets you

I want you to see
I want you to see
Dead-doe eyes and scratched thighs
This is the price of being with me

Talk of leaving is cheap
And perhaps staying is a virtue
This double-edged blade between us
That I wish I could undo

The neighbors come around
Your lips they spell deceit
Wear me down to ash and bone
Because death will be my reprieve

@@Heisenberg355 it's two people actually. Sadie Pinn and Rou Rot. I mean yea pretty sure they have a wild life. Pretty sure it was wilder when they still made music. Iirc they lived on the streets for a few years or months and then started making music which helped them get off the streets. Don't take my word for granted though, it's something I think I read about them when I discovered them 6 years ago. Well I think there's more to it. I think I've read in some youtube comments or maybe it was in the comments of an instagram post by Sadie Pinn that a lot of their ideas get stolen not only musically but also fashion wise which led them to not wanna do music anymore. Who knows for sure. I'm glad they made this music. It was and still is some of my favorite music. Really cathartic.

@stigmaoftheripper9658

You are brilliant. And you are at your most brilliant when you give us raw noisy tracks like this. Personally, my favorite of your tracks so far and i love all of your work. I swear, the noisier you get, the better. I can always count on you for authenticity and genuine expression of anger and frustration and not mellow fashionable boredom.
