Living Beyond Suffering
Greenfly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost looks that are hidding stories
Closed mouths demand revenge
Her whole body was heart
Her hate belongs to one first name
Brave pig, brave kid

Turning love into nightmare
Too much blood
Her pride cries of love

One night her pride exploted
Stayed up all night
Bloodstained hands
Beheaded and mutilated
The nightmare will never be repeated
Years of love,
Years of threat

They were subjected
To physical and verbal abuse
A new life begins
Without his cowardly
Her sons will see the light
No fools will stop them
Her dreams will come true
Their lives will be changed

Turning love into nightmare
Too much blood
Her pride cries of love

Turning love into nightmare
Her pride demands revenge
Fear in blood




Falling in a new attack
Your end is your own dead

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Greenfly's song, "Living Beyond Suffering," convey a powerful message about a woman who has endured unimaginable suffering and abuse in her life, culminating in a violent and bloody act of revenge. The opening lines of the song, "Lost looks that are hiding stories, closed mouths demand revenge," paint a picture of someone who has been oppressed and silenced for far too long. The woman's body was once full of love and hope, but now it is consumed by hate towards the one person responsible for all her pain.


The lyrics then turn to describe the violent act of revenge that the woman takes. She stays up all night, with blood-stained hands, beheading and mutilating her oppressor. The song acknowledges the horror of the act, but also understands the deep-seated agony that led to it. The chorus of the song, "Turning love into nightmare, too much blood, her pride cries of love," further amplifies how the woman's love has been twisted into something horrific by the unrelenting abuse she has experienced.


In the final verses of the song, the lyrics shift to focus on the aftermath of the act of revenge. The woman's sons are free from the abuse and will get to live the lives they deserve. Her dreams will finally come true, and their lives will be forever changed. The song ends with a warning to the abuser, "Your end is your own dead," implying that violence begets violence and that the cycle of abuse must end. Overall, Greenfly's "Living Beyond Suffering" is a haunting reminder of the destructive power of abuse and the devastating effects it can have on a person.
