Great Words on the Altars
Delight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The words are only left
Yesterday I thought the echoes of these words
Are music inside
Today I really don't know who I really am
I thought that the sedition was my vocation
I've started to search for relief
For safety of indifference
Today I really don't know who I really am
I hide in twilight of the grey cities
Drunk with my bitterness
With the remains of my strength
I'm trying to detain those dying great words
I thought that the echoes of these words
Which are the music of mind
Were sounded inside
The beast has opened its eyes
Great words for those called for dreams!
An animal doesn't think about eternity
While struggling for existence
From the ashes of those who fed people on great words
We build the altars
Of those who fed people on great words
Only these words survived
Of those who fed people on great words
Only small people are left
From the ashes of those who fed people on great words
We build the altars
I thought I was from those who fed people on great words
Nevertheless we are their nourishment!
The lyrics of Delight's song Great Words on the Altars explore the idea of the enduring power of words and the sacrifices made by those who have sought to inspire and encourage others. The opening lines imply that those who have used "great words" to feed the people, have not survived themselves, leaving only their words behind. The singer reflects on the fact that while they used to find comfort in the echoes of those words, they are now struggling to come to terms with their own identity and search for a sense of relief and safety from the overwhelming emotional weight of those words. They describe themselves as "drunk with bitterness" and searching for a way to detain those "dying great words" and preserve them for future generations.
The chorus introduces an animalistic metaphor, "the beast has opened its eyes," which suggests the potential danger and uncontrollable power that great words can hold when taken to heart by those who are driven to pursue their dreams. The final lines of the song provide a message of caution, warning that those who seek to feed the people with their words should be aware that they may become the nourishment themselves, and that it is only through perseverance and resilience that their words will continue to stand the test of time.
