The Blade
Hold X True Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Hold X True's song "The Blade" reflect on the evolution of society and how the passage of time can dull the edge of meaningful movements. The reference to "the sound of times" indicates that the change is inevitable and continuous, and that the "new takes the sting out of the old" by smoothing rough edges that used to carry a sense of urgency or emotion. The lines "Replacing raw anger for calm and silent talks, retrospective pressure that means glory for the new and fall down for the old" suggest that there is a shift towards diplomacy and measured responses, but also that the past is relegated to a lesser position of importance.
The next lines speak to a movement that used to have noble aspirations but is now lost without its roots, and that the words that were once meaningful have become empty clichés. This could be interpreted as a commentary on political or social movements that have lost their way over time. The final lines about the gun holding an anxious background and the rusted magazine in the wastebin suggest a sort of physical decay that mirrors the decay of ideas and movements. The call to "get it back" and "sharpen the blunted edge" is a rallying cry to revive the passion and commitment that existed in the past.
Line by Line Meaning
Just listen to the sound of times, the new takes the sting out of the old, it rounds the edges off, stealing the meaning of its being.
The present has a way of dulling the intensity of the past, making it less powerful and taking away its significance.
Replacing raw anger for calm and silent talks, retrospective pressure that means glory for the new and fall down for the old.
Peaceful discussions have replaced violence, and history's judgment favors the present over the past.
Once there was a movement with so splendid goals, now a scary vision, shows it deprived of its roots, gone to cul de sac.
There was a noble cause that has since lost its way and become an empty, frightening shell of what it once was.
In a silent fall, the once meaningful words lost the essence, these turned to be empty cliché, just false echo remained.
Words that used to have meaning and impact have become meaningless, empty phrases that echo without power or depth.
Once there was a movement with so splendid goals, now a scary vision, shows it deprived of its roots, gone to cul de sac.
Again, the point is made that a once-great movement has gone astray and become a shadow of its former self.
The arm holds a gun, but the threatening appearance, covers an anxious background, it bleeds so long ago.
While a person might seem frightening on the surface, there's usually a deeper pain or anger that motivates it.
The gleaming on the barrel, that has no task, is just a false sight, its rusted magazine lies in the wastebin.
The shiny weapon looks impressive but serves no purpose, as its ammunition is old and useless.
Get it back! We'll sharpen the blunted edge!
Let's reclaim what was once valuable and make it meaningful again.
