Reverse Inversion
God Module Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We will never know how it feels to be alive
To have stars in the sky form symbols that show me how to survive
I'll never learn the code to break down fear
I'd bring about the end of the world to be sure you were here with me

Heaven holds nothing that I need to know
Now the sky is breaking down, falling just for show
To reverse this inversion would turn everything inside out
I'd tear apart time and space to know what their about

We will never know how it feels to die in our dreams
To rip the wings off angels to show them, things aren't what they seem




I'll never know why it hurts so much to care
I'd bring about the end of the world to be sure you are here with me

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Reverse Inversion" by God Module suggest that the singer feels detached from life, unable to experience the joys and wonder of existence. They long for a deeper connection to the universe, represented by the "symbols" formed by stars in the sky. The next lines reveal a darker desire: the singer wants to "bring about the end of the world" if it means that their loved one will stay with them. This sets up a theme of desperation that runs through the rest of the song.


The chorus takes a more philosophical turn, with the singer stating that "heaven holds nothing" for them. This may be interpreted as a rejection of traditional religious beliefs or a reflection of the singer's nihilistic mindset. The sky breaking down is another metaphor for the singer's sense of chaos and despair. Nevertheless, they believe that if they could reverse this state of inversion that they are in, they would gain some understanding of the universe. The final lines double down on the singer's willingness to cause destruction, suggesting that they will even harm others (such as "ripping the wings off angels") to achieve their goals.


Overall, "Reverse Inversion" portrays a fragile, desperate mindset that seeks to find meaning in a meaningless world, even if it means causing harm to oneself or others.
