Graves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but you won't forget the name
Another night of agony
another day of pain
Contemplating the violent wakes
another night of pain
to bring you to your knees again
We will erase humanity
The destruction of humanity
in it's dying day
Bring forth the children of violence
from the dark where they reign,
to show the world it's
true face of pain
They run in terror from those who they were ashamed, but they made us like this now, so they will wear the blame. You all run in fear from those who they create, fuelling the for our hate and rage. Now we are the blood that boils in your veins, the tight grip around your throat as you see the eyes of hate.
The lyrics of Graves's song Locust convey a powerful message about a dystopian society that is at the brink of destruction. The lyrics start with a warning, "You will fear the face, but you won't forget the name," indicating that the situation has become dire and irreversible. The singer talks about the continuous agony and pain that they endure and the violent wakes that they contemplate night after night. We can assume that the society has crumbled, and all that is left is destruction and pain.
The singer's words suggest that there is a group of people, the children of violence, who emerge from the darkness to show the world its true face of pain. They blame humanity and bring forth the plague and destruction, which results in the creation of a new world order. The chorus highlights this theme and warns the listeners that they all run in fear from those who they have created, fueling their rage and hatred. The last line of the lyrics, "Now we are the blood that boils in your veins, the tight grip around your throat as you see the eyes of hate," reinforces the idea that the roles have been reversed, and power has shifted.
Overall, the lyrics of Locust paint a picture of a society on the brink of collapse and a group of individuals who rise to power to create a new world order. The singer's words convey a sense of unrest, anger, and retribution towards those who were once in power. The lyrics provide an insight into how society can crumble and how power dynamics can shift when pushed too far.
