Equinox
Elitist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
United underneath the skies above
Within our minds we pull the plug
Severing all connection and breathe creation
We pull the plug
We come alive
We are the awakening
We are what's left to find
We are the awakening
We will breathe life
We, we will rebuild and we'll survive
The cost of one man's life no more important than the other
We, we will rebuild we will survive
The cost of one man's life
No more important than the other
The secrets of time are dying for more
Than the weakness of our existence holds
(all that you are all that you'll ever,
Be will be washed away,
Washed away)
This is where we come alive
United underneath the skies above
Severing all connection we are
We, we will rebuild and we'll survive
The cost of one man's life no more important than the other
We are the awakening
We are what's left to find
We are the awakening
We will breathe life
The secrets of time are dying for more
Than the weakness of our existence holds
(all that you are all that you'll ever be,
Will be washed away
Washed away)
The lyrics of Elitist's song Equinox express a sense of unity and purpose among people. The singer talks about a moment in which people come alive and unite, seeking to detach from the chaos and negativity of the world. They do so by pulling the plug and severing all connections, meaning they disconnect from everything that can distract them from their purpose. This stripping away of negative energy allows them to breathe creation, to awaken and to rebuild from what is left.
The song also discusses the importance of human life and equality. The cost of one man's life is not considered more important than that of another, and the rebuilding and survival of the community is a shared goal. The secrets of time are referred to as dying for more than the weakness of human existence holds, suggesting that the human experience is not enough, and there is more to life than what meets the eye.
The song expresses a sense of hope in collective human potential, and the belief that together, we can achieve what we cannot alone. The idea of awakening and breathing life into the community implies a desire for positive change and growth that can only be driven by the collective effort.

Thank you for posting all the songs from the new debut album. I've loved this band ever since I discovered their first EP, "Caves", 2 years ago. I've been waiting a long time for their full length. Amazingly, brutally, melodically, technical metal!!
