Dominion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You couldn't run from what you became
From one who would vent his revenge
Through the time you were young
To look up to the put downs he gave instead

In all your darkest questions
You could never find the answers
This chance with death overcasting the way
Tempted to try the peace you could give

You would wear your torment on the inside
You'd hide it so well
Until you released it again
I thought i could help you

And you would weep to me
Reveal this withered spirit
Pour out your soul
Let me share your misery

And sometimes I saw myself in you
Recognised the colourless feelings
We shared relief in knowing we were not alone

I couldn't convince you to believe
The hope had already gone
You'd suffered alienation for far too long

You'd resigned to the description
When you took your own life
Your past would never leave
You had already died

The night you chose the ending
I can see those sbtle warnings
Pass like it was meant to be
But I am just as quilty





Bet you don't miss it here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dominion’s song Release paint a poignant picture of a person tormented by their past who ultimately takes their own life. The first stanza suggests that the person was a victim of someone who would vent their revenge on them through the use of put downs. As a result, the person suffered from low self-esteem and was unable to find answers to their deepest questions. The second stanza highlights the person’s internal struggle with their pain and how they would often conceal it from the world. The third stanza reveals that the singer tried to help the person but was unsuccessful, as they had already resigned to their fate, believing that hope had already gone. The final stanza talks about the night this person took their own life and how the singer feels guilty for not being able to save them.


The lyrics are a powerful comment on the devastating consequences of bullying and how it can lead to feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and isolation. The song also highlights how depression and suicide are often hidden from sight, and despite the best of intentions, people may not be able to recognize or help someone who is suffering. The lyrics are a reminder that suicide is never the answer and that there is always hope and help available.


Line by Line Meaning

You couldn't run from what you became
You were unable to escape the person that you had turned into


From one who would vent his revenge
From someone who sought to avenge themselves


Through the time you were young
Throughout your youth


To look up to the put downs he gave instead
Instead of receiving encouragement, you were subjected to insults


In all your darkest questions
During your most difficult moments


You could never find the answers
You were unable to find the solutions


This chance with death overcasting the way
The opportunity to die looms heavily over you


Tempted to try the peace you could give
You feel inclined to experience the peace that death could offer


You would wear your torment on the inside
You would suffer internally


You'd hide it so well
You concealed it effectively


Until you released it again
Until you let it out once more


I thought i could help you
I believed that I could assist you


And you would weep to me
And you would cry in front of me


Reveal this withered spirit
Show me your weakened soul


Pour out your soul
Share every bit of yourself with me


Let me share your misery
Permit me to feel your pain with you


And sometimes I saw myself in you
There were instances where I recognized myself in you


Recognised the colourless feelings
Realized that we both experienced bleak emotions


We shared relief in knowing we were not alone
We found solace in the fact that we were not alone


I couldn't convince you to believe
I failed to persuade you to have faith


The hope had already gone
The optimism was long gone


You'd suffered alienation for far too long
You had endured loneliness for an extensive duration


You'd resigned to the description
You had accepted the negative perception of yourself


When you took your own life
When you ended your own existence


Your past would never leave
Your history would always linger


You had already died
You had died emotionally prior to your physical death


The night you chose the ending
The night that you opted for the conclusion


I can see those sbtle warnings
I can recognize those gentle indications


Pass like it was meant to be
They occurred as though they were predetermined


But I am just as quilty
But I am equally responsible


Bet you don't miss it here
I am betting that you do not long to be here

Personally, I wouldn't mind at all if the 5-minute prologue that was first screened in Imax wasn't played in the film and cut in it.

It is even preferable, because even though, as you say, dinosaurs are shown to be real dinosaurs both in terms of behavior and physically for most of them as was really the case in the real world (se featuring like normal animals and not like bloodthirsty silly beasts or endlessly fighting what), just the fact that the producers of the films have mixed species from different places and times at the same time in the same place (which as you dis est truimanet higtly ridiculous) unfortunately makes the whole of these minutes very frustrating, sorry, insulting, and passable, very passable.
They have literally here voluntarily sacrificed authenticity and scientific fidelity for the benefit of a result giving fun, excitement, entertainment and action concerning the appearance and interactions between them of popular species and much. known and appreciated by the public, but which is bad because they made sure to capitalize a max against historical fidelity (the best example being the versus between the T-rex and Giganotosaurus), and that alone makes the all very bad. At the very beginning of the productions, they were told to us and even reiterated that the film would be a "Scientific Thriller", (which really means what it means, let's agree on that) so closer to again with the ambience of the first film with current knowledge and scientific fidelity. But from the first glimpse, they put us a product, which just in its presentation is scary concerning the future film, worthy of a film of the 80s or an episode of The Land Before Time (but at least, in this frankness there, the gap between reality and fiction works because it is not intended to be educational concerning the representation of prehistory, but of social relations).
Not because the fact of bringing together different species who have lived at different times and places on earth, we accept and forgive in the rest of the franchise, but it is because we are in the present, our own, and that all of these species have been brought back to life in this same present. But here, we can not forgive this realization in a sequence that wants to take place really at the time of Mesozoic America 65 million years ago, where there was neither Giganotosaurus nor Iguanodon, neither Pteranodon, nor Nasutoceratops (at that time for these last two). The others can pass off as the Alamosaurus (for the Dreadnoughtus), an Edmontosaurus (for the Iguanodon, although, only a short time), an undiscovered tyrranosaurid (for the moros intrepidus) and the Anzu (for the Oviraptor). If these specific species had been chosen from the start, the desired result apart from the choice of species in this sequence would have remained the same, identical.
For me, this is completely free and even to the air so lazy to the producer to almost have chosen at the pif the species to put in this prologue and to keep their initial commitment that they "betray" from the first sight makes the whole thing. really abberant.
And to give a real comparison, ALL of this footage is in terms of level of ethics, workmanship, and good taste similar to ALL of the JURASSIC PARK 3 movie, and I'm weighing my words, even JP3 is EVEN BETTER than this whole sequence despite its chaotic production!
And that's really, a shame, because the starting concept, the staging, and the fact that we have the franchise for the first time after years and decades of desperate wishes and demands for the appearance of the feathers in the saga were good, interesting, and really expected, but in the end it's really a waste and a great missed opportunity to do things well, correct, in a reasonable way without overdoing it. Producers should know that the public knows how to be satisfied with the necessary, so useless to give as much as possible to the point of making them vomit!
All because of this stupid and useless sacrifice!
Only the part where we are back in the present with Rexy hunting in the outdoor movie theater is 100% correct and acceptable and really fun, exciting and cool to watch! It contains everything that makes the franchise successful, what we, the public, want and expect. Of the entire sequence, only this specific part deserves to be retained and included for the final product. And so, we will also not forget Rexy's "Origin Story", which is also a shame, because I understand and ceut well that the directors wanted to do by there to give it more importance, and a sub-plot metphoric unknown and unknowingly of all the human and dinosaur characters of the rest of the film, a justification for the final fight between the two titans / species with a rematch inside the same film and all that .... But it would have It took the Giganotosaurus and the T-rex to really meet in real life for this to work.
In fact, by far, I dare say that, even though the film has not yet been released, this 5 minute sequence except the last part in the present which is good, is in its entirety the biggest and the bad. movie problem !!!!!
And really, even if it was well directed, this sequence and quite passsable, ultimately brings nothing more to the film and the franchise, apart from the Origin Story unfortunately poorly staged (really sorry d 'insisted on this point, but here, in this specific case, we do not secrify reality, even a little only, in favor of the coolness of seeing two predatory apices preferred by the public beating each other stupidly), and its removal would be quite good for the movie itself.

Hello again. These are some of my thoughts on the news…



Regarding whether I would like to have the Cretaceous-era segment be part of JW Dominion or its own short film, that depends on how relevant that montage would be to the rest of JW Dominion.

If that battle becomes an important plot point (which would factor into the rest of the story), and the narrative is able to provide a good explanation for the T-Rex fighting a “Giganotosaurus” (like if the T-Rex was fighting an undiscovered relative of the Giga, which Dr. Grant believes will soon get its own genus and BioSyn still uses to boost their Giga’s popularity), then I would like to keep it part of the main film. Otherwise, I would not necessarily be against cutting it out, especially if that prehistoric sequence is still widely available as a short film.

In the latter case, the only downside I see is that cutting this sequence from JW Dominion could deny a chance to many people, who may want to experience this sequence in the theaters. One potential upside is that, if certain people are bothered by the paleontological liberties/inaccuracies, having the sequence be its own short film could make said inaccuracies easier to separate from JW Dominion itself.

My critique of the ‘Dominion’ teaser (as an avid dinosaur/paleontology nerd, not a registered expert):

The only animals that were actually accurate to the Late Cretaceous-sequence were the ankylosaurs, the Quetzalcoatlus and, of course, T. rex, itself; all the others became extinct millions of years earlier, especially the Giganotosaurus, which became extinct around ninety-million years ago, a good thirty-million years before the T. rex ever showed up. Yes, I know the filmmakers wanted there to be an inter-species’ “rivalry” of sorts, but at the same time T. rex was the alpha-apex predator at the time. As far as we know, there were no other large apex predator to challenge the tyrannosaur’s authority, T. rex was it.

Getting to the scientific accuracy of the actual T. rex, itself, as much as they emphasized the feathering (which is still actually debated to this very day), however, the model is still the classic ‘Jurassic Park’ design, which means a boxier head than the real thing, as well as a lack of lips, although I think I read somewhere, as well as the footage that got leaked, that they fixed the hand posture (theropods were actually “clappers”, not “slappers”), and for the ankylosaurs, I don’t know how much information for the actual Ankylosaurus-genus we have now, but for the longest time scientists used other ankylosaur species to fill in the gaps of what it’s overall appearance might’ve looked like, so if anybody else knows more about it than I do, please feel free to comment, but, otherwise, I think it looks okay, I think. But, yeah, the Quetzalcoatlus looks great, I don’t have any qualms against it. 

Overall, the accuracy of it all (mostly) sucks. Sure, the actual movie’s science-fiction, with cloned animals of different time periods interacting with each other in the present, but if they were really going after what the ecosystem would’ve looked like 66-million years ago, then they should’ve consulted actual paleontologists. As much as people bitched about the ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ movie, at least it was mostly accurate (Gorgosaurus being changed to Nanuqsaurus and the Edmontosaurus having a crest, but that was before the latest find was discovered, so I’ll let that slide) for the time. 

I know that other YouTubers might be saying what I’m saying, but, again, if you’re a paleontology nerd like I am, you would be pretty pissed-off, too.

Yes, Now we’re talking, Finally, the prologue of Jurassic World Dominion is coming soon.
Man, I’m very excited to see how breathtaking this prologue really is and hopefully, they’ll extended to make a little longer to make it look better and they’ll redesign the dinosaur characters to make them look better especially the Giganotosaurus in my opinion.
Great video and as always, Take It Easy and Life Finds A Way.

As ugly and spiky as the Dominion Giga is, it's ironically kinda accurate, according to TvTropes, the Dominion Giga has some accurate things about it such as the head adornments and the shape of the skull, most Giga art, toys and Gigas in fiction such as the JWE Giga tend to use an outdated long and shallow skull shape, while the Dominion Giga has a properly short and deep skull. Honestly what ruins the Dominion Giga is the hump, the giant tail, the slight shrinkwrapping and the ridiculous spikes, cuz its head shape is accurate to our modern understanding of Giga skulls. It even uses its head as a battering ram against the Rex, which is accurate to Carcharodontosaurids, due to their reinforced skulls allowing such a thing. Even its behavior is accurate to a real predator, since the Giga wasn't hungry, it allowed the Moros to clean its teeth and it ignored the Iguanodon, and it only attacked the Rex because the Rex was the one who challenged it. Even when it killed the Rex, the Giga just quietly left at once instead of posing and roaring, which would just attract more predators to the scene. Wow, the Dominion Giga is actually more accurate than we give it credit for, again, what ruins it is the stupid hump. XD

Finally! We get to see the prologue in HD, as it was meant to be seen!
Think Dominion will still be a box office success even after the pandemic and with how absolutely hated Fallen Kingdom is by such a vocal portion of the public?

Rishubh Sethi

​@Oscar Stainton yup. not a fan of FK myself (only liked the first bit on the island) but it's supposed to be a filler movie sandwiched between the trilogy and to pave the way for dominion
