Arson
GAEREA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The solution in snuffing out all the human race
A little shadow running across the concrete
Losing itself in the vast sunset
Between the clouds the dusk illuminates a face
Deficient fear gasping the worthless
Malignantly uselessThe last messiah's never-ending chant
As the crimson curtain closes
And the lights have now dimmed
Memories will be carved in coffins
A sash of despair sacking one's soul
Behold the pacifier
A selfless benefactor of those who never were
The last standing man to burn the book of his kind
Accepting its shining defeat
The warmth embracing his heart
A mirage dangling at the edge of glory
To leave or to hold, for I am a mirage
Lighting a candle to ignite my human condition
A healer of aches consuming the wrinkled face
Lost in his abyssic and contorted mind
Consumed far beyond the improvement
The pieces have now been assembled
Self-destruction in despair
To crave his grief
The arsonist of his time
Hissing wordless voices of those who were deadBeyond the clearing of flames
Sealing our icy tomb
In madness
In chaos
Bone-deep mayhem
In devastation of flesh
Gardens
Of untold stories
Rebirthing among the smoke
Screams and fear
Turning silent among the dead
Tyrannical militant
The arsonist of his time
Flooded with the luminous sunshine
Enticing the weary traveler
To fail at life
The lyrics of GAEREA's song "Arson" paint a dark and nihilistic picture of destruction and despair. The opening lines suggest a desire for the eradication of humanity, seeing it as a solution to the worthlessness and fear that pervades society. The image of a little shadow running across concrete, losing itself in the vast sunset, evokes a sense of insignificance and anonymity in the face of the inevitable end.
The following lines delve deeper into this theme of hopelessness and resignation. The dusk illuminating a face between the clouds signifies the impending end, with deficient fear gripping those who are perceived as worthless. This egoistic fear highlights the futility of human existence and the emptiness of false messiahs and their never-ending chants.
The lyrics continue with the notion of memories being carved in coffins, suggesting a sense of finality and the ultimate demise of all. The presence of the pacifier, a selfless benefactor for those who never were, hints at the idea of false comfort or distraction from the harsh realities of life. The last standing man burning the book of his kind symbolizes the acceptance of defeat and the embrace of warmth within his heart as the world around him crumbles.
The chorus explores the concept of a mirage dangling at the edge of glory, reflecting the ambivalence of leaving or holding on to life. The singer lights a candle to ignite their human condition, attempting to find meaning in their suffering. This person becomes a healer, consumed by their own pain, lost in a contorted mind that goes beyond any possibility of improvement.
The lyrics then shift to a scene of self-destruction and despair, with the suggestion that this destruction is the arsonist's purpose in their time. The hissing wordless voices of the dead and the sealing of an icy tomb speak to the echoing silence left behind in the wake of devastation. The imagery of gardens of untold stories rebirthing among the smoke portrays a twisted sense of creation arising from destruction. The final lines suggest that even in the face of destruction, there is still a lure to fail at life, beckoning the weary traveler to succumb to the darkness.
Line by Line Meaning
Sanguine for thy elimination
Hopeful and cheerful for the extermination of humanity
The solution in snuffing out all the human race
The answer lies in extinguishing every single human being
A little shadow running across the concrete
A small dark presence moving swiftly on the pavement
Losing itself in the vast sunset
Becoming lost in the grand and expansive sunset
Between the clouds the dusk illuminates a face
Amidst the clouds, the twilight reveals a visage
Deficient fear gasping the worthless
Lack of fear choking the valueless
Malignantly useless
Utterly and harmfully without purpose
The last messiah's never-ending chant
The eternal repetition of the final savior's mantra
As the crimson curtain closes
While the red curtain descends
And the lights have now dimmed
And the lights have now become faint
Memories will be carved in coffins
Reminiscences shall be etched into burial caskets
A sash of despair sacking one's soul
A strip of desolation plundering someone's spirit
Behold the pacifier
Witness the appeaser
A selfless benefactor of those who never were
An altruistic provider for those who never existed
The last standing man to burn the book of his kind
The sole remaining individual who incinerates the record of their own species
Accepting its shining defeat
Acknowledging its radiant surrender
The warmth embracing his heart
The affection enveloping his core
A mirage dangling at the edge of glory
An illusion swaying on the precipice of fame
To leave or to hold, for I am a mirage
To depart or to cling, as I am an illusion
Lighting a candle to ignite my human condition
Igniting a candle to spark my existence as a human
A healer of aches consuming the wrinkled face
A remedy for pains engulfing the aged countenance
Lost in his abyssic and contorted mind
Immersed in his profound and twisted thoughts
Consumed far beyond the improvement
Devoured extensively, surpassing any betterment
The pieces have now been assembled
The fragments have now been put together
Self-destruction in despair
Demolishing oneself in a state of hopelessness
To crave his grief
To desire his sorrow
The arsonist of his time
The one who sets fire to his era
Hissing wordless voices of those who were dead
Whispering soundless voices of the deceased
Beyond the clearing of flames
Outside the blaze's open space
Sealing our icy tomb
Closing off our frozen burial place
In madness
Within insanity
In chaos
In complete disorder
Bone-deep mayhem
Mayhem that permeates to the core
In devastation of flesh
In the destruction of physical bodies
Gardens
Beautiful places of solace
Of untold stories
Filled with countless narratives
Rebirthing among the smoke
Being born again amidst the fumes
Screams and fear
Shrieks and terror
Turning silent among the dead
Becoming quiet among the deceased
Tyrannical militant
Authoritarian soldier
The arsonist of his time
The one who sets fire to his era
Flooded with the luminous sunshine
Overflowing with bright sunlight
Enticing the weary traveler
Attracting the tired wanderer
To fail at life
To falter in living
