Crystallize
Envy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

English:


Countless dead eyes without
their dreams ever paid off.
The words of a poet reflect
in a drift of daily life
that had spit out.
Fragments of memory are on the way
and they are supposed to be right.
The fact that it is 2.
The silence swore to proceed till the end.
The crystallization of the time.

Picture a light,
a personality on my mind.
Catch the ripped wishes
with my hands.
Regulation and existence
even lost the meaning.
Fought with difference and
the doubt was born.
A smile and an answer
filled with loneliness.
A warped mirror
shows the criticism.

The group-mind is brightly decorated
and erased its identity.
You speak and go beyond
the present time to find eternity.
The times marked the painful eternity.
The same condition gained the pain.

Suppress my mind
and the last word falls.

I stand where no one would see.
We make, and steal the process.




You who read and the standart are fair.
Not a single truth, so sleep on the ground.

Overall Meaning

Envy's song Crystallize speaks about the way society suppresses individuality and creativity, leaving people feeling lost and unfulfilled. The first verse talks about how people's dreams go unfulfilled, and they are left with dead eyes. The words of a poet should reflect daily life, but instead, people are caught in the monotony of life, and their memories are fragments of something that is supposed to be right. The silence enforces this monotony, and time feels crystalized, frozen in place. The second verse speaks about struggling with individuality and existence, and how it causes doubt but still filled with loneliness. The mirror reflects back criticism and suppresses creativity, leading to conformity and erasing individuality.
