Promised Land
Custard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We see our world destroyed by their hands
They killed our neighbours, dead bodies on the field
Nowhere to run now, their swords against our forks.
This can't go on, got to set sails for our quest now
Hoping to find the peaceful promised land
Children are crying, the old ones start to pray
Where will we go to, lord help us find the way
Protection from the evil hand
He is the saviour god has sent.
Don't hesitate, the chosen one is our companion
He leads our way to freedom and we'll see
No more destruction, decay of the possessed
Their flag will burn and we will forget the past
The time...
The lyrics of Custard's song Promised Land talk about a group of people who are facing violent despair and destruction caused by those in power. The opening line talks about how even in the midst of this violent despair, the rules of glory can't be broken. This line could be interpreted as the idea that even in the darkest of times, there can still be hope for a better future.
The second line talks about how the world has been destroyed by the hands of those in power, and the third line describes the killing of neighbors and dead bodies left behind. The fourth line talks about the group's vulnerability and how they are at the mercy of their attackers. In response to this, the group decides to leave their land and seek out a peaceful promised land. The mood of the song is one of despair, hopelessness, and longing for something better.
There are a few different ways to interpret the meaning of "Promised Land." It could be a metaphor for the idea of hope, freedom, or a better life. It could also refer to a specific place that the group is trying to reach. Ultimately, the song is a reflection of the struggles that people face when they are oppressed by those in power, and the hope that they hold onto in the face of violence and destruction.
