***
Beyond the dark are men like you.
Weakened by the sun, blind fools.
Cursed by the light, a life untrue.
In the night, the fire Burns Inside.
It guides us on The Dark Side.
One path, eyes open, to the Unlite.
We are symbols, we stay concealed, shades our devices.
We are shadows, we stay unnamed, wraiths in disguises.
We are imperial, we stay unlit, the Inkakai rises.
Accept no imitations – we are the fire.
The Fierce Imperial Revenge Executed Against Liars.
GOD
Fireal Lyrics

Why must I explain
Hey you, shallow
You think you're something
You're so beautiful
Missing one thing
God
And you can't let it go
My god
You, you throw me overboard
And you can't see the core
Hey you, hollow
You know you're nothing
You're not special
Special
The Fireal song "God" is a reflection on the superficiality of society and the emptiness that comes with a focus on physical appearance over inner connection. The lyrics address those who only see skin and require explanation, calling them shallow and suggesting that they are missing a vital element - God. The song acknowledges the struggle of those who hold onto their beliefs in the face of rejection, as the singer notes that when they give up their faith, they are thrown overboard by others. The final lines bring the theme full circle, calling out those who consider themselves special despite their hollow nature.

Why must you see only skin
Why do you judge and value people based solely on their appearance?
Why must I explain
Why do I have to constantly justify who I am and why I believe?
Hey you, shallow
Addressing someone who only cares about outer beauty and superficial qualities
You think you're something
You believe you're better than others due to your attractiveness or shallow values
You're so beautiful
You may be physically attractive, but it doesn't make up for what's missing
Missing one thing
Despite your beauty, you lack something essential
God
The missing puzzle piece in your life
And you can't let it go
You refuse to acknowledge the importance of God in your life
When I give up
When I stop trying to fit in or impress others
My god
My ultimate source of strength and guidance
You, you throw me overboard
You reject me for not conforming to your shallow values
And you can't see the core
You're unable to see beyond the surface level and recognize what truly matters in life
Hey you, hollow
Addressing someone whose life is devoid of depth, meaning, and purpose
You know you're nothing
You realize that without something substantial to ground and guide you, you are truly empty
You're not special
You are just like everyone else who is searching for something more in life

@dragonsnowball
I'm an atheist but I get SO much out of this song. Worshipping false idols. Losing sight of yourself, of your purpose. Giving in to the superficial nature of the world as it exists in its current state.
@tanguiano88
