It All Dies Today
Eyes Of Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The walls are all peeled back, exposing my fate. The one thing I know is I can't do the time.
As days become minutes and months fade to nights.
I don't have the will now to carry this life. It's the one fleeting moment that broke down inside.
Where do we end it? When did it begin?
I need something this time, a means to an end. It all dies today.
I'm bringing it down. Finding the way to carry this weight has broken my spirit and shattered my faith.
I'm losing myself in a dark weathered soul I'm alone in this dream and I want to let go.
It's time to break out, there is no need to explain. I need something this time, a means to an end. Kill the light.
It's all I can hope for. It ends tonight and it's what I'll be known for.
These lyrics in Eyes of Fire's song "It All Dies Today" speak to the overwhelming feelings of desperation and hopelessness that can come with facing one's inner demons. The singer is alone, isolated in the depths of their own mind, feeling as though fate has been exposed and there is no escape.

They are ready to bring down the walls that have been closing in on them, to kill the light and find peace in the darkness.

But this decision to end it all gives them a sense of control, the idea that they will be known for finally escaping the darkness that has consumed them.
Overall, "It All Dies Today" is a haunting and powerful portrayal of the struggle with mental health, and highlights the sense of desperation that can feel all-consuming when fighting against one's own mind.

Awesome band! I remember listening to Prisons when I was stoned for the first time, one of the most magical experiences of my life!

Its never too late. Can't think of a better band for posthumous recognition.
Mildly Strong
@Patrick Bertlein Neither can I, actually. Any idea where these guys are or if there are any projects the members are in now?
EyesofNeurosis
I've heard likely over a thousand bands in my life, and this is in the top five for anything heavy, right after Neurosis and Today is the Day.
I would also add Wormwood, Snowblood, and Black Noise Cannon to that list. No, I can not count ; )
Glad to see others have discovered this hidden gem.
