God Module Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make me believe that you understand
That none is this matters
Your life is a lie
You were never born; You will never die
Six seconds left until your eyes turn green
And you want to question everything you've ever seen
Had to be real, but you know that it's not
Pain transformed into joy
Sorrow into peace
Chorus
All of this has been foreseen
All of the things that you could have been
Things are never what they seem
There's no waiting of promisedream
All of this has been foretold
You were never in control
Just a puppet on the screen
Never decided anything
End Chorus
Take my hand and fall with me
To a new world far beneath the sea
To think about time, your thoughts and your sins
They will fall away as we start to swim
Away from everything that is not real
The way you felt is not the way we feel
Criticals reach farther than you see
Brace your new reality
Pain transformed into joy
Sorrow into peace
Sixteen seconds is all that you have
To make me believe that you understand
That none is this matters
Your life is a lie
You were never born; You will never die
Chorus
Pain transformed into joy
Sorrow into peace
The song "Foreseen" by God Module explores themes of the impermanence and illusion of reality. The lyrics suggest that our experience of life is fleeting and ultimately meaningless, and that we are all just puppets on a screen, with no real control over our lives. The idea of pain being transformed into joy and sorrow into peace also hints at the idea of letting go of attachment and embracing the impermanence of life.
The first verse references the idea that we have only a short window of time - just sixteen seconds - to make an impression and try to understand the world around us. This is followed by the idea that everything we think we understand is ultimately illusory - "Your life is a lie / You were never born, you will never die." The second verse continues this exploration, with the suggestion that our perception of reality can be challenged and transformed, leading to a new understanding of the world.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that all of this - life, reality, and our perception of it - has been foreseen and foretold, and that we are ultimately powerless to control our lives. The verses that follow reinforce the idea of embracing a new reality, letting go of what we think we know, and embracing a new, perhaps more meaningful way of being.
Overall, "Foreseen" is a reflection on the nature of existence, the illusory nature of reality, and the need to let go of attachment and embrace impermanence. The suggestion that pain can be transformed into joy and sorrow into peace speaks to the transformative power of accepting our limitations and embracing the moment.

Sixteen seconds is all that you have
To make me believe that you understand
That none is this matters
Your life is a lie
You were never born; You will never die
You have a very short amount of time to convince me that you truly comprehend the insignificance of all things in this world. Your very existence is false, and neither birth nor death are real.
Six seconds left until your eyes turn green
And you want to question everything you've ever seen
Every word you've heard, everything that you thought
Had to be real, but you know that it's not
As time ticks away, you begin to feel a sense of uncertainty about everything you've known and believed until now. All of your previous ideas were actually not accurate or true.
All of this has been foreseen
All of the things that you could have been
Things are never what they seem
There's no waiting of promisedream
Everything that has happened, as well as everything that could have happened, was already destined to occur. Nothing is as it appears, and no promised future will come to pass.
All of this has been foretold
You were never in control
Just a puppet on the screen
Never decided anything
All events have already been predicted, and you have no control over your fate. You are a mere puppet in a grand scheme and have no say in your destiny.
Take my hand and fall with me
To a new world far beneath the sea
To think about time, your thoughts and your sins
They will fall away as we start to swim
Join me in a journey to a new world buried far below the surface. Here, you can reflect on your past and allow your thoughts and feelings to wash away as we immerse ourselves in this new environment.
Away from everything that is not real
The way you felt is not the way we feel
Criticals reach farther than you see
Brace your new reality
Leave behind all things that are untrue and meaningless. Our way of life is vastly different from yours, and you may be shocked at the depth of knowledge we possess. Prepare yourself for a new and different reality.
Pain transformed into joy
Sorrow into peace
All negative emotions have the potential to be transformed into positive ones. From pain, joy can arise, and from sorrow, peace can be found.

@sFeral nice alternative text version for this song.
Dark atmosphere will be in this song with any close words I think...
sFeral
waking UP, forgot the UP... and I'm still 100% convinced he's saying that, though it might have been intended considering the meaning of the song
sFeral
@Croft Legacy S apparently I'm right according to god-module-lyrics/foreseen-lyrics.html
sFeral
@Croft Legacy S ofc none of it matters my life is a lie, I was never born I will never die

After 6 years still listening, never get bored of this song.
Probably one of the greatest songs I found on YT. Real gem.
