Evolve
Fire From the Gods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We die, it still remains the same.
A hidden hand in the dark, and no one seems to know how far down the rabbit hole goes
You don't ask any questions, you don't even care.
You just fall in line, swallow the pill and follow
Are we all blind?
Why can't we see?
I can't believe we all just follow the leader.
I can't believe we all still follow the leader
We haven't learned a thing.
We still play along.
I fear the worst is yet to come, and it all falls apart right before our eyes.
Too scared to read between the lines.
Bury our heads in the sand.
Turn our back on the inevitable end.
We just fall in line, swallow the pill and follow
Are we all blind?
Why can't we see?
I can't believe we all just follow the leader.
How can we evolve if we live in the shadow?
I can't believe we all still follow the leader
Will you play the game, will you follow?
Will you play the game, will you follow the leader?
I'd rather be dead and buried than give in.
I'd rather be dead and buried, than give up my soul.
I'd rather be dead.
I'd rather be and dead than give in
Are we all blind?
Why can't we see?
I can't believe we all just follow the leader.
How can we evolve if we live in the shadow?
I can't believe we all still follow the leader.
Will you follow?
Fire From the Gods's song "Evolve" tackles the idea of blindly following leaders, without questioning authority or seeking the truth. The song begins by pointing out the repetitiveness of the cycle of blindly following leaders, and how despite multiple instances of failure, nothing seems to change. The existence of a hidden hand in the dark makes it even harder to know how deep the manipulation really goes.
The chorus of the song questions the blindness of humanity as we continue to follow authority blindly, even when it may not be in our best interest. The frustration expressed in the lyrics is that while we have the ability to evolve and change, we remain in the shadow of the leader, too scared to take control and read between the lines.
The song ends with a challenge to the listener to decide whether they will continue to play the game and follow the leader, or whether they will choose to question authority and resist. The repeated phrase "I'd rather be dead and buried than give in" underscores the seriousness of the decision at hand.
