Join Us
Empyr Lyrics

The lyrics to Empyr's song Join Us explore the struggles of life and the choices we make. The opening line "You feel like you're free when you jump from the third floor" is a metaphor for the idea that some people may feel like they are free when they make drastic decisions, such as suicide. The following line "I saw you sitting in the middle of the road" suggests that the person in question may feel lost and confused. The lyrics go on to say "If you lose all of your teeth every night in every dream, you're not my enemy when you look just like me" which implies that no matter how different we may seem on the surface, we all share common experiences and emotions.

The chorus "Wake up now, keep your head high, choose your path, the new world belongs to us" encourages the listener to take control of their life and make positive choices. The next verse "You feel like you're free when you're lost in empty streets, I saw you smiling, a metallic taste in your mouth" suggests that some people may feel liberated when they wander aimlessly, but this behavior can also be dangerous. The lyrics continue with "If you carry when you think of all the things you should have done, you're not my enemy when you see that we are one" which suggests that regret and self-doubt can make us feel isolated, but we are all connected in the human experience.

The final lines "You think you're born to suffer, I think you're born to resist, this is all about the way you take, the may you give, this is all about you, this is all about me" sum up the overarching theme of the song. We are all dealt different cards in life, but it's up to us to choose how we respond and what we give back to the world.
