Tilt
In Flames渀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We all find ourselves,
In honor of the good cause
How empty we've become
With our sight to be the true force

Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.
[Chorus:]
You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.

Lies and desperation lead us through as we're trying to be heroic,
I swept the world to watch you manage.
Take a step back,
I'll tie you to it.

[Chorus]

Hopes and prayers in pursuit of salvation,
Take a short cut, it only bends our cause.
But as far as I remember,
There is nothing that will get back the days you lost.

Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.





{Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Tilt" by In Flames delve into the concept of nostalgia and the tendency of humans to glorify the past, wishing to relive it instead of moving forward. The opening lines suggest a collective connection in humanity, united in the desire to do something good, but ultimately feeling hollow and unfulfilled. The following lines highlight a struggle with doubt, as every instinct may not always lead to the right path.


The chorus emphasizes the futility of trying to relive the past, as yesterday is gone and cannot be repeated. The lyrics also acknowledge the danger of lies and desperation, which can lead us to make misguided attempts at heroism. The verse "Take a step back, I'll tie you to it." refers to taking a moment to analyze and understand one's actions and possible consequences.


The second chorus emphasizes the theme of time being irretrievable, and the consequences of taking shortcuts in the pursuit of a goal. The line "There is nothing that will get back the days you lost" reinforces the idea of regret for the past, fruitlessly trying to recapture something that has already passed.


Overall, "Tilt" conveys a poignant message about the danger of becoming too fixated on the past and the importance of confronting doubt and mistakes instead of longing for what cannot be regained.

чувааак, именно такие видео должны быть в тилт

@ayomantrow2258

это не профайл, не клип и ничего такого даже близко. это фр мини фильм который пропитан гениальными людьми, ведь я смотрю на всю эту сьемку, монтаж, трюки и самое главное эту прекрасную музыку и просто взрыв мозга происходит от того, какое я сейчас получил удовольствие от увиденного. Егор, Жан, Даня, Илья и Степа сделали искусство, и возможно лучший видеоряд связанный с самокатом который я видел фр. хочу большего видео подобного плана, нереальный кайф.
