Execution Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let go of the chokehold that is your vice
Gamble with your demons on crooked dice
I know its a risk that you came take
Sign your name in blood it′s time to seal your fate
Taking that step into the great unknown
Everything i love is all I′ve ever known
(We're not alone)
Falling further from the finer things
You saved my life
But i can't do the same
Recollections of a brighter day
There′s nothing you can say
I′m too far gone to change
I never asked for this
Fire burns inside of me
Hold a flame to everything
You're a liar is what you said to me
You′ll never make these dreams reality
You'll never know until you just let go
(Until you just)
Let go
It′s always on my mind
Beyond the constant grind
My life in shambles
I'm dangling from the edge
I′ve been waiting a life time
Searching for a lifeline
To take me to the end
Taking that step into the great unknown
It's a trial by fire, skin to bone
Everything i love is all I've ever known
(We′re not alone)
Falling further from the finer things
You saved my life
So how can i repay
When the poison is a part of me
There′s nothing you can say
Just accept me
Fire burns inside of me
Hold a flame to everything
You're a liar is what you said to me
You′ll never make these dreams reality
You'll never know until you just let go
This is the end
Of all my suffering
I can′t pretend
This isn't hard for me
Shell of a man
Of what i used to be
And now I′m left with a strand of sanity
Fire burns inside of me
Hold a flame to everything
You're a liar is what you said to me
You'll never make these dreams reality
You′ll never know until you just let go
Just let go
In the song "HEAL" by Execution Day, the lyrics convey a sense of struggle and conflict within oneself. The first stanza addresses the need to let go of destructive habits or vices, symbolized by a chokehold and gambling with demons. It emphasizes the risk involved in taking steps towards change and making a commitment, even using the metaphor of signing one's name in blood to represent sealing one's fate.
The second stanza discusses the fear and uncertainty that comes with venturing into unfamiliar territory. It likens this experience to a trial by fire, where one's true essence is exposed and tested. The lyrics reflect a deep attachment to what is known and loved, suggesting that leaving one's comfort zone can be challenging. However, it also hints at a collective unity, suggesting that others are experiencing similar struggles.
The third stanza expresses a sense of regret and self-awareness. The singer acknowledges that someone else once saved their life, but they are unable to reciprocate the same help. Memories of better times are only recollections now, and there is a feeling of being too far gone to change. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and an acceptance that one's current state is irreversible.
The final stanza highlights the internal conflict between the desire to change and the resistance to letting go of what is familiar. The lyricist expresses frustration towards someone who called them a liar and doubted their ability to achieve their dreams. There is a plea to the listener to release their hold on the past and embrace the unknown. The closing lines depict a culmination of suffering and the acknowledgment that the journey ahead will be difficult. Despite this, there is a glimpse of hope that by letting go, they may find the healing and resolution they seek.

Shell of a man
A mere fragment of who I used to be
Of what i used to be
Of the person I once was
And now I'm left with a strand of sanity
Now, I am only holding on to a small amount of sanity
This is the end
This is the finality of it all
Fire burns inside of me
An intense passion and drive reside within me
Hold a flame to everything
Challenge and question everything
You're a liar is what you said to me
You deceived me with your false promises
You'll never make these dreams reality
You will never achieve these aspirations
You'll never know until you just let go
Only by relinquishing control will you find out
Just let go
Simply release yourself from the burdens and expectations
