The Fall
Dead Alone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A failed creation
We are damned to suffer
We will fail
Our wrath corrupted the world
The end of days - Act of god
Humanity is lost
We fall down - God´s revenge
Our exodus
We fall down - God´s creation
Swallowed by our sins
Retaliation for our sins
Our judgement day
Our greed
The source of scorn
We are devoted sons
A world of flesh and bones
Bleed to death
We are rotting shells
Deadly machines
The ultimate creation
Sons of light
We will die
We fall down - God´s revenge
Our exodus
We fall down - Godｴs creation
Swallowed by our sins
We fall down
Flesh and bones
Ashen rain over us
We fall down - Exodus
Our end of days
The lyrics of Dead Alone's song "The Fall" speaks of the inevitable downfall of humanity as a result of our sins and unworthiness. The opening lines, "Burn | Divine son, A failed creation" suggests that we are the offspring of a divine being who could not create us perfectly, leading to our eventual destruction. The lyrics continue to describe the corruption that humankind has brought upon the world, leading to the end of days, a judgement day where we will be punished for our actions.
Dead Alone uses vivid imagery to describe the fallen state of humanity. The lines "We are rotting shells, Deadly machines" describes the decay of our physical and emotional states, where our sins and greed have turned us into beings devoid of morals and empathy. The chorus "We fall down - God's revenge, Our exodus, We fall down - God's creation, Swallowed by our sins" depicts the inevitability of our downfall, where humans will suffer and perish as a result of a higher force's wrath, and our own undoing.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Fall" portrays the idea that humanity is inherently flawed and will ultimately suffer the consequences for our actions, leading to our downfall.
