Point Of No Return
Hypocrisy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wide awake for the whole event
Never been such a plague
They will die to survive
Turn around and walk away

Walk into the fire
Watch the flames
They will die for you
'cause you were chosen

In the form of a voiceless dream
Never be afraid of death.
The immortal life can take it's toll.
You am I, as I am me.

Never trust the wise men
They will push you off the right track
And when they throw these demons before you
Just be prepared to strike back

Priests and Christians
Who will know from the truth?




You will not fill your empty cup
'cause you are a god

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hypocrisy's song "Point of No Return" appear to be about embracing death as a means of gaining immortality, with the singer addressing the listener as a chosen one who will be able to watch others die to survive. The idea of fire and flames is invoked, perhaps as a metaphor for a fiery death or purification. The singer encourages the listener not to fear death, because the "immortal life" that comes after it can take its toll. The idea of being "voiceless" suggests a sense of isolation or detachment, as if the singer has lost touch with reality.


The second stanza continues this theme of rejecting conventional wisdom and embracing a godlike status. Wise men are not to be trusted, as they will push the listener off the "right track." The mention of demons suggests a struggle between good and evil, with the listener encouraged to prepare to fight back against those who oppose them. The final line, "you are a god," suggests a sense of empowerment and suggests that the listener has the ability to transcend mortality and achieve divinity.
