Identity
Euthanasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything will come to be.
Everyone can see behind the screen
A reflection of heavenly light, but....
We lost our faith
We became lost in the future
Nothing lasts forever.
There is time for the pain...and for eternal abandonment.
This human race has overstepped its condition
A deformation of souls and thoughts.
We're dragging a bloody flag, colored
By the night and the reddest tears.
We lost our face
We lost our identity
Standing on the threshold of a new evolution
Which will be for us the final destination.
I do not believe anyone remembers
What exists around us.
We close our eyes and we know why
We fight for money and the children cry.
We lost our pain,
We lost our judgement.
Nothing lasts forever.
Whoever wants to stare at empty hearts
Can lift up his eyes....and thousands of phrases echo from faraway
Who cannot cross over must find his end...
That is what we chose, there can be nothing else.
The Identity song by Euthanasia is a song that reveals the singers' perception of the world's current state. The first verse describes the singer seeing someone suffering, crawling on the ground, and promises that things will eventually come to pass. They assert that behind the facade or image that everyone sees of heavenly light, there is a reality that is quite different. In the second verse, the singer considers that we have lost our faith and focus, leading us to a future that may appear bleak. They paint pictures of the pain that comes with the damnable skies and oceans, leading to abandonment, or eternal loneliness.
The bridge goes on to recount how, as a part of the human race, we have exceeded our limitations, leading to a deformation of souls and thoughts. Further, they suggest that we drag a bloody flag, a symbol of the darkness we harbor within ourselves. It is characterized by the night and the reddest tears. Continuing, the singer discusses the nightmarish situation of the human race, where there is a loss of identity and the painful realization of standing on the threshold of a final destination. In the final verse, the singer expresses their dismay about the world's apathy towards all that exists around us. From the children that are crying to the craving for money that has encompassed us, we have lost our way, lost our pain, and lost our judgment.
Line by Line Meaning
I promise, as I see you crawling on the ground -
I assure you that even in your lowest moments, there is hope for the future.
Everything will come to be.
The future is full of endless possibilities.
Everyone can see behind the screen
We can see through the lies and facades people put up.
A reflection of heavenly light, but....
Even in the face of beauty, there is still darkness lurking.
We lost our faith
We no longer have trust or hope in the world.
We became lost in the future
Our obsession with the future has led us astray from the present.
Nothing lasts forever.
All things are temporary and finite.
Where there are damned skies and oceans,
In places of despair and hardship,
There is time for the pain...and for eternal abandonment.
We can experience immense suffering and loneliness in these places.
This human race has overstepped its condition
We've exceeded our natural state and capabilities.
A deformation of souls and thoughts.
Our inner selves and attitudes have become twisted and distorted.
We're dragging a bloody flag, colored
We bear the weight of our violent and tragic history.
By the night and the reddest tears.
Symbolized by the dark and sorrowful aspects of the world.
We lost our face
We no longer recognize ourselves or our true nature.
We lost our identity
Our sense of who we are as individuals is confused and muddled.
Standing on the threshold of a new evolution
We're at the cusp of a major shift in human development.
Which will be for us the final destination.
This pivotal moment will ultimately determine our fate.
I do not believe anyone remembers
I doubt anyone truly understands or acknowledges
What exists around us.
The true state of the world and its problems.
We close our eyes and we know why
We willingly ignore reality because it's easier than confronting it.
We fight for money and the children cry.
Our pursuits of material wealth harm the innocent and vulnerable.
We lost our pain,
We're numb to the struggles and suffering of others.
We lost our judgement.
Our ability to make sound, rational decisions is compromised.
Whoever wants to stare at empty hearts
Those who wish to see the worst of humanity
Can lift up his eyes....and thousands of phrases echo from faraway
Will find nothing but emptiness and despair everywhere they look.
Who cannot cross over must find his end...
Those who can't overcome a challenge or obstacle will ultimately fail.
That is what we chose, there can be nothing else.
Our fate is the result of our own choices and actions.
