Anthem
Ever Stays Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or just some experiment gone wrong
Did I invade the planet like sci-fi
And take on some freakish form
Is this segregation justified
Cause to the world I don?t fit the norm
I?ve been patronized and pushed aside
My life just simply ignored
So be forewarned
(Bridge)
And I lay and wait
For something to take me away from this place
(Chorus)
The time has come for me
For me to stop living for the world
Inside I know
That I have been called for such more
And I will not let it waste away
His call on me will not be in vain
I will change this world for what I want
Cause I don?t want to buy what I?ve been sold
Don?t you avoid the masses or run and hide
Cause outcast is growing old
This intimidation will subside
Cause for the call we must be bold
Don?t you run away
No, never fold
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
I have so much left to live
Cause You gave Your life
I have so much left to give
Cause You gave Your life
(Repeat)
I have so much left to live
Cause You gave Your life
(Chorus)
The lyrics of the song Anthem by Ever Stays Red delve into the idea of individuality and non-conformity. They are questioning their own existence, wondering if they are different due to some scientific experiment gone wrong. They feel like a stranger in a world that is too intimidated to accept what is different. They have been shunned, bullied and ignored by society, but they are determined to change this world for their own benefit because they do not want to give in to the norm or follow what is "sold" to them.
The lyrics of Anthem convey a message of hope and encouragement to anyone who feels like an outsider or a misfit in society. It is a call to embrace one's individuality, stand up for what one believes in, and make a change. The song inspires listeners to understand their abilities, talents and strengths and to utilize them for their own good and the good of others. The line, "And I will not let it waste away, His call on me will not be in vain," refers to the belief that their individuality and unique talents are a gift from God and that they have a responsibility to use them for a greater purpose.
