Emerald Vale [deathcore] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been handed what you all believe - hatred for media needs
We are a beacon of a cruel deception; a nation of manipulation
We'll take their lives as they crawl to survive, making sure to never hand them their freedom
We are a beacon of a cruel deception; a nation of manipulation
We'll take their lives as they crawl to survive, making sure to never hand them their freedom
Why don't you see it?
A society cast for genocide
This declaration is weakened by hypocrisy
An act of false statements for the image of liberty
Ask the families who live in suffering
Where is their share of liberty
I refuse to be one of you
Another chess piece to be moved
I refuse to be one of you
I refuse to believe what is given to me
It's only in facts that we should be able to see
This corruption that we all live and breathe
Impelling lies which brand everything you believe
But we have contributed to this vile creation
You have all been manipulated
I'd love to see you cast in isolation
Backs turned by a neighboring nation
It's only then that I think you'll believe
There is no liberty
The lyrics of Emerald Vale’s song “Asylum” delve into themes of inequality and societal manipulation. The song opens with a promise to show listeners inequality, but with the caveat that they will be “dead before [they] can see.” This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which critiques a society built on hatred for media needs and a false image of liberty.
The chorus reinforces this idea of societal manipulation, with Emerald Vale describing themselves as a “beacon of a cruel deception” and their nation as “a nation of manipulation.” The band states that they will take the lives of those who crawl to survive, ensuring that they are never handed their freedom.
The song’s bridge features an appeal to listeners to recognize the hypocrisy and false statements made for the sake of the image of liberty. Emerald Vale then urges listeners to think about those who live in suffering and question where their share of liberty is. The song concludes with a rejection of this societal manipulation, with Emerald Vale refusing to be “one of you” and calling out the lies and corruption of societal manipulation.
