Vacuum
In Flames爀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Speaks of tomorrow
The blood of man matters in time
Never taste the puss
We live from Monday to Sunday
But forget what it means
Then it comes with a closed fist
And we just started from Devil's rights
Well call all your friends
Watch me throw down
From the need of vacation
We're speeding from triple hate and artifacts
We're still superiors
And as for understanding
Lie, rape, steal and murder
To make the night realize
Crush the system
Make your contributions mine
Pour out and will you get this strong as they've become
You sat in silence
Hear a voice
How far are we ready to take this
You sat in silence
Hear a voice
Before it all crumbles
Lie, rape, steal and murder
Smiling I plot your pain
Can I turn up the TV
Exploding sympathy
Farewell man
I trust we part our company
We're still superiors
And as for understanding
Lie, rape, steal and murder
To make the night realize
Crush the system
Make your contributions mine
Pour out and will you get this strong as they've become
You sat in silence
Hear a voice
How far are we ready to take this
You sat in silence
Hear a voice
Before it all crumbles
Lie, rape, steal and murder
Smiling I plot your pain
You sat in silence
Hear a voice
How far are we ready to take this
You sat in silence
Hear a voice
Before it all crumbles
The lyrics of "Vacuum" by In Flames paint a picture of a society that has lost its sense of purpose and morality. The opening lines suggest that even though we talk about a better future, our past mistakes continue to haunt us. The line, "The blood of man matters in time," can be interpreted as a warning that actions have consequences, and we cannot escape them, no matter how far into the future we try to look. The next few lines talk about our tendency to ignore the significance of time and to live from Monday to Sunday without thinking about what it all means.
The chorus of the song describes a world where people have become desensitized to violence and are willing to do anything to achieve their goals. The lines, "Lie, rape, steal and murder, to make the night realize," suggest that there are those who believe that the ends justify the means. They are willing to crush the system and make it their own to gain power and control. The last verse talks about the inevitability of change and how, before everything falls apart, we need to ask ourselves how far we are willing to go.
The song's lyrics suggest that there is a vacuum in society, a void where morality and ethics should be. It calls for a renewed sense of purpose and a return to a time when we valued human life and respect for others. The lyrics remind us that the consequences of our actions will catch up with us eventually, and we must take responsibility for the world we create.
