Into the Grey
Inertia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The colour surges and breaks away
We've lost our purpose
Is it too late?
It's staining everything a grey that fades to black
Not what it's meant to be, a shade of what we had
Stood in the dead of night and watched them steal the sun
I'm stuck inside a world that's lost its vision
The truth lay at our feet but still we choose to blur our sight
With no words to say, I can't find a way
To tell you that the colour's washed away
It won't come back
The colour surges and breaks away
We've lost our purpose
Is it too late?
We sold our souls now our lungs are filled with poison
It courses
Stuck in a routine
Can't seem to break free
It's weighing us down
I'm stuck inside a world that's lost its vision
The truth lay at our feet but still we choose to blur our sight
With no words to say, I can't find a way
To tell you that the colour's washed away
Now all we see is grey
Our lungs are filled with poison
It courses through all our choices
I'm stuck inside a world that's lost its vision
The truth lay at our feet but still we choose to blur our sight
With no words to say, I can't find a way
To tell you that the colour's washed away
Our lungs are filled with poison
We have done this to ourselves
The lyrics of Inertia's song "Into the Grey" speaks to the collective consciousness of society that seems to be heading towards a bleak and dismal future. The opening lines set the bleak tone by stating that "It won't come back, the colour surges and breaks away", indicating that something has been lost irretrievably. The loss of purpose is also evident as the lyrics pose the question "We've lost our purpose, is it too late?". The colour that is fading away in the lyrics, symbolizes the vibrancy of life, and the grey that it's fading away into, represents the dullness and monotony of routine.
The song alludes to the fact that humanity has sold its soul to materialistic pursuits, manifesting itself in a society where pollution and poison are the norms. The lyrics "We sold our souls, now our lungs are filled with poison" paints a grim picture of the aftermaths of modernization, and the consequences it had on the environment. The lyrics also convey a sense of helplessness and entrapment, where we are stuck in a cycle, and cannot seem to break free.
Overall, the song is a powerful indictment of how our collective actions and apathy have led to a world that's losing its vibrancy and colour, and replaced with dull grey, a lifeless state.
Line by Line Meaning
It won't come back
We can't go back to the way things used to be
The colour surges and breaks away
The vibrancy and beauty of life is gradually disappearing
We've lost our purpose
We've lost sight of what really matters in life
Is it too late?
Can we still fix what we've done?
It's staining everything a grey that fades to black
Our actions are causing everything to lose its life and vibrancy
Not what it's meant to be, a shade of what we had
Our current situation is not what we planned or hoped for
Stood in the dead of night and watched them steal the sun
We are witnessing the destruction of the world around us
What have we done?
We are blaming ourselves for the current state of the world
I'm stuck inside a world that's lost its vision
The world has lost its clarity and direction
The truth lay at our feet but still we choose to blur our sight
We are refusing to acknowledge the harsh realities of our situation
With no words to say, I can't find a way
We are struggling to communicate the gravity of our situation
To tell you that the colour's washed away
To explain that the world has lost its beauty
We sold our souls now our lungs are filled with poison
Our actions have resulted in the destruction of the world and ourselves
It courses
The poison is spreading throughout our lives
Stuck in a routine
We are trapped in a cycle of destructive behavior
Can't seem to break free
We are struggling to escape the destructive cycle we are in
It's weighing us down
Our destructive behavior is taking a heavy toll on us
Now all we see is grey
We are unable to see the beauty in the world anymore
Our lungs are filled with poison
We have caused irreparable damage to ourselves
It courses through all our choices
Our actions have affected every aspect of our lives
