Eclipse
Insurgent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contrived is the world that you all claim to need
Forlorn is the circumstance
Where distinction and nuance suffer at your hands
Surrender yourselves away
Erase all but your name
Denial defines your way
A cry to expose within
A cry to release what you all know is real
Relinquishing all you feel
Intrinsic values are concealed
Surrender yourselves away
Erase all but your name
Denial defines your way
Reflections you can't reclaim
Synthetic, egregious, inherent in the
Apathy you sustain
When will you break down
Only to rise again
Eclipse yourselves as one
Welcoming what's to come
Led astray to this empty place
Surely you can't betray
The Shadows you cast away
Erase all but your name
Denial defines your way
Surrender yourselves away
Surrender yourselves away
In this song, the band Insurgent speaks about the dangers of conformity and blind obedience to authority. The lyrics start off with a remark on how compliant behavior seeks reprieve. It draws attention to the fact that this compliance is often contrived and forced, and therefore not genuine. The world that is claimed to be needed is, in reality, a forlorn circumstance where nuance and distinction suffer at the hands of conformity. The chorus speaks of surrender, erasing all but one’s name, defining one’s way with denial.
The second verse delves deeper into this theme of conformity and the dangers of following it. It implores people to cry out and expose the reality, relinquish what is felt, and reveal intrinsic values that are currently concealed. The chorus repeats, highlighting the importance of surrendering oneself away to break free from such captivity.
Overall, the song is a call to reject conformity and embrace individuality, to reject contrived behavior and be true to oneself. The message is to stop sustaining apathy and to break down to rise again, accepting what is to come.

This music is so badass good. Like real talk you have quality in there. i had chills all over my body when the chorus hitted. Your voice is something that i never heard in my life. Its like so "heavy" and mellow. Just WOW

The only thing that could be better would be if this had a video clip. Comming from the colours bleed you are so expressive in the way you sing.
