Invasion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voices of wild indignation
had been Silenced Like smoke from chimneys
While leaders play Their global games
Hope crumbles into rising seas
Faith stumbles midst dying trees
Man is beast
Where to now?
Don’t know how…
Taken hold Hearts gone cold
(dog eat dog)
Nothing is safe, but who takes the blame?
Cracked earth, broken Cries for what it lacks
What was sacred Gone forever (and ever)
Rising waters Drowning saviors Saving slayers
In control Inside your soul
Where to now?
Don’t know how…
Taken hold
Hearts gone cold
Dog eat dog
What is your smallest chance?
What’s your inheritance, my child?
We are few but
You are here now
You hold the future As it slips
through our fingers can you Kill
the dog inside of you?
War is peace Man is beast
Where to now?
Don’t know how…
Children slay Politicians play
In control
Inside your soul
Taken hold
Hearts gone cold
Man eat man
The lyrics to Invasion's song "Invasion" depict a bleak and desolate world, where destruction, indifference, and greed have taken hold. The opening lines suggest that years have passed, leading humanity down a path of destruction. The voices of those who once expressed outrage and dissent have been silenced, much like smoke disappearing from chimneys. Meanwhile, leaders continue to play their global games, prioritizing their own agendas over the well-being of others.
The song highlights the crumbling hope and dwindling faith in the face of environmental degradation. Rising seas and dying trees symbolize the irreversible damage caused by human actions. The chorus emphasizes the juxtaposition of war and peace, man and beast, creating a sense of conflict and confusion. The lyrics question where to go from here, expressing a sense of uncertainty and despair.
The second verse further explores the consequences of human actions. Nothing is safe anymore, and the blame is shifted onto those who fail to address the pressing issues. The loss of sacred values and the rising waters serve as metaphors for the irreversible damage caused by humanity. The lyrics suggest that those who are in control, within their souls, have succumbed to indifference and coldness, perpetuating a dog-eat-dog mentality.
Overall, "Invasion" paints a grim picture of a world teetering on the edge of destruction, highlighting the need for change, introspection, and a rejection of the destructive impulses within ourselves.
