UtopÃa
Flesh Field Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I criticize its rules.
Apathetic misery.
This world is overrun by fools.
Born from isolation;
A pretty place, a utopia.
Suicidal revelation;
This life is no better than the last.
And I find that I am lost.
Take away my innocence,
And nail me to the cross.
Switch to the back of my holy war.
I never thought I'd beg for more.
Cut through these chains and set me free
Or I will rot for eternity.
I stand alone again,
Burdened by your lies.
I remember when I could look into your eyes.
Sell my soul tonight.
Take me to your dream.
Who's to say you're right?
You are not what you seem.
Find a way to make me free again.
Find a way to make me bleed again.
The lyrics to Flesh Field's song Utopia express a deep dissatisfaction with life and a longing for something more. The singer questions the rules and nature of reality and finds it to be a source of apathetic misery. They see the world as being overrun by fools and feel disconnected from it all, born from isolation.
The singer speaks of a suicidal revelation, coming to the conclusion that life is no better than the last. They travel through hypocrisy and find themselves lost. They long for their innocence to be restored and speak of being nailed to the cross, evoking religious imagery.
In the second half of the song, the singer switches to the back of their "holy war." They beg for more and express a desire to be set free from their chains, or else they will rot for eternity. They stand alone, burdened by lies, and remember a time when they could look into someone's eyes. They sell their soul for the possibility of finding freedom again, though they question whether this dream is true and fear that they may bleed again.
Overall, the song Utopia is a powerful expression of the human struggle to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. It speaks to the need for connection and the desire to break free from the constraints that hold us back.
