Maverick
Heartlapse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the crowd can't live without it
Leaving everything behind, I will run away
Don't you beg me to stay, words are meaningless to me
Time has stopped around us
Freedom fades
We're assembling into one black mass (into one mass)
Against the heavy tide
Ignoring bad things in life
Misleading thoughts haunting me
Faceless contempt and dark lights
What is the meaning of this life?
I feel so ashamed in our race
There is no meaning in this life
Our past has turned into ashes in my eyes
This desolated world has lost it's light
There's no forgiveness
Why try?
No prayers were said this time
The things I saw I won't forget
You'll never cross my path again
Nothing is what it's like (what it's like)
I count the days to ease this pain
The lyrics to Heartlapse's song Maverick seem to be depicting a person who is feeling disillusioned with the world around them and is ready to leave it all behind. The first two lines suggest that the person feels trapped in a crowd but also recognizes that the crowd depends on their presence. They want to leave everything behind and run away, and they are not interested in hearing empty words that try to convince them to stay.
The lyrics go on to describe a feeling of time standing still, as if the world has stopped moving forward. The person no longer feels any emotion or sense of purpose, and they describe themselves and others as being part of one black mass, which could represent a feeling of being trapped or absorbed by society. They are trying to ignore the negative things in life, but they are haunted by misleading thoughts and faceless contempt.
As the lyrics progress, the person seems to give up on finding any meaning in life and feels ashamed to be part of the human race. They see past experiences as nothing but ashes and feel that the world has lost its light. They don't see any point in forgiving others or trying to pray for redemption. They have seen too much and have been hurt too many times to go back to how things were before.
Overall, the lyrics to Maverick suggest a feeling of disillusionment and a desire to leave society behind. The person feels trapped and suffocated by the world around them and sees no point in trying to find meaning or purpose.
