Giant
Eloy Lyrics

Mighty men of power,
Referring to those in power who have become corrupt and lost their virtues

Great Goliaths who've turned sour
Referencing to the biblical story of David and Goliath, but portraying the giant as a disillusioned and corrupt figure

Never feeling, never caring
Describing the lack of empathy and concern for others that these figures possess

Only blindly you're following one flight of power
Suggesting that these people are following the allure of power alone, without considering the consequences of their actions

Crushing all who stand there before you
Portraying these figures as oppressive and destructive to those who oppose them

Taking breaking you
Describing their actions of taking from others and breaking them down

Even make the strong men cower
Indicating that even the toughest of people are afraid of these figures

Grind to dust, those who can't pay your due
Describing their ability to destroy those who cannot pay the price they impose

With careful plans your lies
Inferring that these individuals have thought out, well-planned lies they use to deceive others

There's no risk and no mistake
Suggesting that these individuals feel invincible and lack any concern for the consequences of their actions

Ignore the small man as he cries
Showing their indifference to the pain of others, especially those less powerful than them

Smash him and then he'll cooperate
Indicating that they believe that the use of force will make others submit to their will

Giant stop for a moment
Addressing the giant in the song, asking them to consider their ways

Search deep within your heart
Encouraging the giant to look within and examine their motives and actions

Are you so sure you're right
Asking the giant to question their certainty about their beliefs and actions

You could make a new start
Encouraging the giant to change their ways and begin anew

If you left this Earth
Presenting the idea of the giant's mortality and the possibility of leaving behind a negative legacy

Who would care
Asking who would remember the giant or care about their actions after they were gone

What d'you think you're worth
Questioning the value of the giant's actions and encouraging a change in mindset

Just a share
Reflecting the idea that everything is connected to each other and everyone holds only shares of the things they own

You don't have much time
Expressing the idea that the giant should act quickly and not waste time in making amends

Face the truth
Encouraging the giant to confront the reality of the situation and their actions

You'll pay for your crime
Noting the idea that there are consequences for our actions and the giant will pay its own price

You must choose
Positing that the giant has a choice to make in regards to its future actions

There's another way of living
Infering that there are alternative ways of living that do not include exploiting and oppressing others

See what you get by giving
Encouraging the giant to see the benefits of giving, rather than taking

Take your chance, find your way
Suggesting that the giant take the opportunity to change their actions and find new ways of living

Take it, while you may
Stressing the idea of taking the opportunity to change when it is presented, as it may not come again

Forget that thing called pride
Positing that the giant should move beyond pride to consider broader, more compassionate perspectives

Just awaken what's inside
Encouraging the giant to awaken their compassion to change their ways

Stop deceiving start believing
Encouraging the giant to stop deceiving others and themselves and start believing in positive values

Your humility will be your last misleading guide
Suggesting that the giant's humility will guide the way, avoiding any misleading paths of deceit in the future

The seeking mind could then show you how
Encouraging the giant to open their mind and seek new perspectives to guide their actions

Freely gladly now
Suggesting that the giant will feel happier and more fulfilled with this new, compassionate perspective

Fulfill yourself, be satisfied
Positing that the giant's fulfillment and satisfaction will come through giving to others, not just taking for themselves

Give all the love, that you can mend all
Encouraging the giant to share as much love and compassion as possible to heal the world

With simple joys, your life
Emphasizing that life should be enjoyed through simple joys, rather than material possessions or power

Will be rich and so much more
Suggesting that the giant's life will be much richer and more fulfilling with a compassionate perspective

Welcome the feeling, see it thrive
