Innocent
Eltharia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today I am dead but my spirit still lives on
And now it is time to definitely know why
I was still a child when they took my life
For a story written by someone else

I've never killed anyone on this earth
I screamed out loud my heart was innocent
They were looking for a guilty person

and they blamed me for this bloody crime

Since that another crime took place after my death
The same inanimated body was found near the same place
That's why today they're meeting again, the last word is about to arrive
The hammer just fell, I'm innocent but my body will not come back to life

I've never killed anyone on this earth
I screamed out loud my heart was innocent

They were looking for a guilty person
and they blamed me for this bloody crime

Overall Meaning

The song "Innocent" by Eltharia is a haunting and poignant exploration of the idea of justice and the existence of innocence in a world where guilt and blame seem to be so readily assigned. The singer of the song speaks from beyond the grave, stating that although their physical body may be dead, their spirit still lives on. They are seeking the truth about why they were taken from this world at such a young age, for a crime they did not commit.

The lyrics paint a picture of a tragic situation where the singer, as a child, was wrongly accused of a bloody crime and blamed for it. They protest their innocence, screaming out that their heart was pure, but they were still made to pay the price for someone else's wrongdoing. The song takes on an even more devastating tone when it is revealed that after the singer's death, another crime was committed in the same place, using the same method. The guilty party was discovered, and the singer's innocence was proven, but it was too late for justice to be served. The song ends with a sense of sadness and loss, as the singer acknowledges that although they are innocent, they will never be able to return to their earthly life.
