Matter of Time
Dead Set Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im the only force against myself i know
I fight to hold the vision
To find an afterlife without a soul
Yeah
Free
Will i ever free whats lost beneath?
Will i ever hold the hands of the forgotten
Scream
Masked behind my screams is a melody
It's calling me home
Its a matter of time
Fear my destination
The road i travel on is paved in pain
I try to find a reason
To carry on this life i live in vain
I bleed to feel something
Will i find the other side or will i find nothing?
Give me a sign
Leave a clue
Show me how to find my way to you
Free
Will i ever free whats lost beneath?
Hold
Will i ever hold the hands of the forgotten
Scream
Masked behind my screams is a melody
It's calling me home
Its a matter of time
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Yeah
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Will i ever free whats lost beneath?
Will i ever hold the hands of the forgotten
Masked behind my screams is a melody
It's calling me home
Its a matter of time
The lyrics to Dead Set Red's song "Matter of Time" explore the internal struggle of the singer as they battle their own obsessions and fight against their own self-destructive tendencies. The lines "I'm lost in my obsession," and "I fight to hold the vision, to find an afterlife without a soul," suggest a desperation to maintain a sense of purpose and meaning, even in the face of potential oblivion. The singer believes that they alone are responsible for their fate, and that they must "free what's lost beneath" and "hold the hands of the forgotten" in order to find their way home.
The lyrics are infused with a sense of existential dread and the fear of a meaningless existence. The lines "The road I travel on is paved in pain," and "I bleed to feel something," reveal the singer's intense desire for a sense of purpose and the fear of being trapped in a life without meaning. The theme of searching for something greater than oneself is echoed in the lines "Give me a sign, leave a clue, show me how to find my way to you."
The chorus repeats the desperate plea for guidance, as the singer searches for a way to break free from their obsessions and find meaning in life. The use of "masked behind my screams is a melody" suggests the idea that beneath the chaos and pain of the singer's life, there is a deeper purpose and meaning waiting to be discovered.
