V
Hell / Amarok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's go head for the shore
Do you have the will to jump
Down from the top of the world
If it's easier to burn
Tie me up on a stake
Empty high roads are calling, calling
Fuck these headstrong scheming plans
Let's go head for the shore
On my last legs I'll take a stand
And jump from the top of the world
If it's easier to burn
Tie me up on a stake
Fire is my only friend
Empty high roads are calling, calling
My defenses slowly breaking
Fuck your well-trained golden handshake
All we need is space to roam
All we have left is self-control
All we have to do is pack up and go
So catch me falling if you can
Cut your ties and flush them down
'Cause we're taking back the rein
Take control of time
The lyrics of the song V by Hell/Amarok seem to talk about a desire to break free from the monotony of life and explore the unknown. The first few lines suggest a willingness to take risks and indulge in something that may be considered dangerous, like jumping from the top of the world. The idea of tying oneself up on a stake as a way to burn seems to be a drastic measure taken by the singer of the song to be free from the shackles of societal norms.
As the song progresses, we see a growing urge to break free from well-planned life trajectories and bureaucratic systems that offer little room for growth or self-discovery. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels trapped and suffocated within these systems and yearns for space to explore and roam. The idea of catching someone falling and taking control of time seems to symbolize a willingness to embrace change and take ownership of one's life and future.
