Retribution
Forced Order Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
erased
look ahead. plot the escape
divination: a blinding force
the upright: afraid to be heard
retribution. no more pain
time to be heard
break the backs of the ones
all this pain. all for what
the flame burns. it's time to confront
revenge to cleanse the earth
all their lies now cast into flames
The song "Retribution" by Forced Order delves into themes of righteous anger, rebellion, and vengeance. The lyrics call for a revolution against those who have caused destruction and pain to the earth and its people. The words "restraint erased" suggest a release from holding back and a willingness to take action. The line "look ahead. plot the escape" can be interpreted as a call to envision a better future and plan for an escape from the current state of affairs.
The following lines suggest a belief in the power of divination and a desire for a force strong enough to blind those who oppose the movement towards change. The "upright" are described as being afraid to be heard, exemplifying how those in power may try to suppress the voices of those seeking justice. The repeated phrase "retribution. no more pain" serves as a rallying cry to not only seek revenge for past wrongs but to also work towards a future where pain and suffering are eradicated.
The lyrics "break the backs of the ones who ruin this earth" speak to the idea of holding accountable those who are responsible for environmental destruction and social injustice. The line "all this pain. all for what" suggests a sense of frustration and desperation towards a world that has allowed for such issues to occur. The final lines "the flame burns. it's time to confront, revenge to cleanse the earth, all their lies now cast into flames" paint a vivid picture of a fiery rebellion, fueled by a desire for truth and justice.
