Invictus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And for our crimes there be damnation
The blood of the past, it does bathe us
The fingers point to blame and claim us
[Chorus]
And without love, we are lost
Believe me, we are lost
Believe me, we are dust
Without love, we lose our souls
And mine had left long ago
The gods above and the gods below
Believe me, believe me
A child is skating on the ice
Like a child playing with a knife
The gods above and the gods below
Playing chess for her soul
[Chorus]
With tears of sorrow, and tears of rage
They lower her into the grave
The gods above and the gods below
Playing catch with her soul
The lyrics to Invictus's song "Believe" speak to the destructive nature of human behavior and our societal tendency to blame and claim responsibility for our shortcomings. The first two lines "Field of spears: Our creation/And for our crimes there be damnation" suggests that our own actions have consequences and speaks to the practice of creating weapons of war. The next two lines "The blood of the past, it does bathe us/The fingers point to blame and claim us" speaks to the cyclical and repetitive nature of human conflict where we are forever haunted by the ghosts of our past and our inability to take responsibility for our actions.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that without love, we are nothing. The repetition of the phrase "Believe me, we are lost" emphasizes the desperation felt when one is devoid of love. The lyricist argues that love is the only thing that can imbue humans with purpose and meaning. The lines "Without love we lose our souls/And mine had left long ago" speaks to the sensation of feeling spiritually disconnected and out of touch with the world.
The final verse tells a story of a child's life and their inevitable death. The lyrics "Playing chess for her soul" speak to the idea that fate is often out of our control and we are at the whims of the gods above and below. The chorus reaffirms the idea that love is the only thing that can save us from a world that can be cruel and unforgiving.
