Hacride Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We make our destiny!
Always rising above fears and frustrations…
You’ve been tamed for too long:
Confront your demons!
We are the shadows of our needs,
A series of wasted dreams,
And try to conceal it for it scares us!
I can see the light,
When the oppression is gone…
This is the final call,
I’m on the edge!
Overcome!
Stare into the eye and you’ll overcome fear,
I’m my own monster.
Forget everything you know and drown in nothingness…
Let the void absorb anger and rage!
Look deep into your soul and face the enemy…
I can see the light,
And the oppression is gone,
This is the final call …
I’m on the edge!
I’m on the edge of breaking down,
I’m on the edge and falling down,
I can’t come back and I know it!
The lyrics to Hacride's song Overcome express the idea of taking control of one's destiny and facing personal demons. The first verse begins with a rejection of fate and an assertion that individuals have the ability to make their own destiny. The singer encourages the listener to rise above fears and frustrations and confront their own demons, having been held back for too long. The second verse suggests that people deny their desire for self-destruction and try to hide it because of the fear it incites within them. However, the singer can see the light when the oppression is gone and hopes to inspire others to overcome.
In the chorus, the singer declares "Overcome!" and encourages the listener to face their fears head-on. The following lines advise that by staring into the eye of one's fears, one can overcome them and become their own monster. The bridge emphasizes the need to look within oneself to face the enemy, suggesting that this is the only way to achieve true liberation. Finally, the song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer admitting to being on the edge of breaking down and falling, unable to return to where they once were.
Overall, the song encapsulates the idea of confronting personal demons and suggests that this is necessary for true personal growth and liberation.

Un super groupe très largement sous-estimé et sous écouté, le même groupe aux states serait condamné au succès, j’adore leurs derniers albums et vivement le prochain
