Cryoshell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Barely alive
About to go on trial
Nothing's sacred with everything exposed
A needle to the eye
Now it's time to say goodbye
With everything exposed
All your life (all your life)
In the shades of a pale blue light
You
You better look alive
'Cause your older wings won't fly
(Spiral again, you have to pretend, hey)
You'd better look alive
With your heart in overdrive
(Spiral again, wipe the whole grid)
Walk on water, heal the wounds
Ease the pain
Now release me from these chains
And help me ease the pain
You've been living life on a lie
All your life, all your life
In the shades of a pale blue light
You
You better look alive
'Cause your older wings won't fly
(Spiral again, you have to pretend, hey)
You'd better look alive
With your heart in overdrive
(Spiral again, wipe the whole grid)
You see, nothing here is real
That's part of the deal
Nothing to reveal
It's only time they steal
Nothing's what it seems
When you go inside a dream
You
You better look alive
'Cause your older wings won't fly
(Spiral again, you have to pretend, hey)
You'd better look alive
With your heart in overdrive
(Spiral again, wipe the whole grid)
The song FAUX by Cryoshell is a powerful exploration of personal truth and the struggle to exist in a world full of lies and deception. The lyrics explore the idea of living a life on a lie and the consequences that come from it, such as being empty and barely alive. The singer in the lyrics is about to go on trial, with everything exposed and nothing left sacred.
The lines 'You've been living life on a lie, all your life' speaks to the idea of living a life not true to oneself, perhaps to appease those around or conform to societal expectations. The imagery of 'shades of a pale blue light' suggests living a life devoid of vibrancy, energy, and truth. The repeated line 'You better look alive' can be interpreted as a call to live more authentically, with heart and passion.
The chorus of 'spiral again, wipe the whole grid' suggests the need to start over, to wipe away the past and begin fresh. The lines 'nothing here is real, that's part of the deal' suggests the world we live in is full of deception, illusions, and lies. The song's overall message could be that it's never too late to live authentically and to break free from the chains of conformity.

Starting over and clearing the slate
Walk on water, heal the wounds
Attempting the impossible to fix what is broken
Ease the pain
Trying to make things better
Now release me from these chains
Breaking free from limitations and self-imposed constraints
You see, nothing here is real
Realizing that what one thought was real actually isn't
That's part of the deal
Understanding that the disappointments and disillusionment are a part of life
Nothing to reveal
No hidden truths left to uncover
It's only time they steal
Feeling like time has been wasted or taken
Nothing's what it seems
Things aren't always as they appear
When you go inside a dream
When delving into one's thoughts and imagination
