Defying Symmetry
Fifth Dawn Lyrics

Yeah!
Excited affirmation to start the song

I play the victim in these games
Feeling powerless and at the mercy of a situation

In hollow worlds that circle pain
Feeling trapped in a cycle of hurt and emptiness

In vicious cycles, it haunts me
The pattern of pain follows the artist and causes distress

I feel a distance from the sane
Feeling different and far from what is considered normal

In parallel realities
Describing a feeling of alternate or disconnected states of being

Get help now
Requesting urgent assistance

Get me out now
Pleading for release from the situation

Hear the cries
Calling attention to the distress

Oh, it hurts my heart
The pain is deeply felt

Give it to me straight
Asking for honesty and clarity

I need to know what world I'm in
Desire for clarity and understanding of current reality

I need to feel my own skin all over
Need to feel present and grounded in one's own body

Can you hear the sane?
Questioning if there are others who are not struggling like the singer

Are they listening?
Asking if anyone is paying attention or understanding

Can you free me?
Pleading for liberation from the situation

My guard is down
Vulnerable and open to change

All that surrounds forms an understanding
The environment offers insight or guidance

I'm not even tired
Feeling energized or ready for action

All I am wakes
Fully present and engaged

Turn to the future and
Directing attention to upcoming events or possibilities

Oh, look what we've done?
Reflecting on past actions and their impact

Let's play with fire
Taking risks or tempting fate

And let ends meet
Accepting consequences or allowing fate to decide

Let the past lift up from your feet!
Encouragement to let go of past pain and move forward

Tell me, tell me why I'm so far away
Questioning distance or disconnection from self or reality

For when I woke up I could still remember it
Remembering past events or experiences

Oh, I'm scared to wake up
Afraid of what reality or new experiences may bring

When I know I'm still breathing
Despite fear, the artist is still alive and moving forward

To me it's my own fate
The outcome or future is up to the singer to determine

Get help now, free me up now
Repeating the urgent request for assistance and release
