Salvation
Dynazty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my time I have seen many things hard to believe
Is there an answer to this life we lead
We break before we bend as we struggle to defend
The little time we have until the end
Desperate callings in the wind tell words of wisdom can you hear
Yet falling on deaf ears I fear
In the blink of an eye life will quickly pass you by
The hands of time we cannot defy

Salvation take me home
Until I can see the light, shining bright in front of me
My final destination here I come
I will live again, til I find my way

I’ve crossed all the seven seas.
I’ve watched and I know how it feels
To live and learn, to hate and love it burns your soul
Then in time you fade away
Like a flower you will wither and you will decay. Soon you will say
I’m just a fallen man, my end is at hand. Take me
End all my suffering, bring me peace again
End of the line, this is my final stand
This is my requiem

I was born into slavery
Chained to my own destiny
Now I’ll break these chains, end the pain and fly away
I will be set free, free from misery. Save me
I will live again, reborn without a chain
This is the life, the beginning is the end

Salvation take me home
Til I can see the light, shining bright in front of me
My final destination here I come
I will live again, til I find my way

In my time I have seen many things hard to believe
Is there an answer to this life we lead
We break before we bend as we struggle to defend
The little time we have until the end
Desperate callings in the wind tell words of wisdom can you hear
Yet falling on deaf ears, I fear
In the blink of an eye life will quickly pass you by
The hands of time we cannot defy

I’ve crossed all the seven seas.
I’ve watched and I know how it feels
To live and learn, to hate and love it burns your soul
I was born into slavery
Chained to my own destiny
Now I’ll break these chains, end the pain and fly away

I am not afraid, I will live again. Take me
End all my suffering, bring me peace again
End of the line, this is my final stand

Salvation take me home
Til I can see the light, shining bright in front me




My final destination here I come
I will live again, til I find my way.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dynazty's song Salvation are a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the search for meaning and purpose. The opening lines express the singer's sense of incredulity at the variety of experiences they've had in their lifetime, and question whether there is any ultimate truth or purpose to the existence we all share. The line "we break before we bend" suggests that our resilience is limited, and that we are all struggling to hold on to our individual lives before the inevitable end arrives.


Throughout the song, the singer muses on the concept of salvation, which they seem to view as a kind of release from the pressures and constraints of life. The lines "salvation take me home, until I can see the light shining bright in front of me" suggest that the singer is seeking some kind of religious or spiritual guidance or direction, although it's not clear what form this might take. The theme of suffering and the struggle to overcome it is also present in the lyrics, with the repeated cries of "end all my suffering, bring me peace again" offering a moment of catharsis amidst the more existential musings.


Overall, the lyrics to Salvation are both introspective and hopeful, offering a meditation on the importance of striving for meaning in a world that sometimes seems nonsensical or arbitrary. The lines "in the blink of an eye life will quickly pass you by, the hands of time we cannot defy" are a reminder that life is short, and that we can only control so much - but the repeated invocation of the idea of salvation suggests that the singer is still searching for something more, even when the way forward is uncertain.
