The Choice
Invictus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for which way is mine
I'm down and I'm totally poor
I am the slave of chance
Losing control of my brain
I feel I'm losing my mind
I see the shadows of rain
Tell me what you are
You play, you say
You lie about her
You play with my mind
Are these streets my only home
Degradation my family?
From where comes this wild horse?
What choice between these two doors?
[Chorus]
In this mirror I see my life
In her eyes... I see my double
She desires my soul and he craves my blood
The time of sacrifice
Your sins are a kingdom I've seen before
Was I at this time a fool or a king?
Light ! ... light of heaven
Flames ! ... flames of hell now
I can't decide where I'll end
End my life
Tell me what you are
You play, you say
You lie about her
You play with my mind
Now in the flames of this hell
I forget all of my pain
Ready to take this cold hand
His blood flowing through my veins
The Choice by Invictus is an introspective and contemplative song that explores the complexities of the human mind and the choices we make. The lyrics describe the singer's sense of confusion and despair as they navigate through life's waves of time, searching for their identity and purpose. The use of metaphorical language is evident throughout the song as the character compares their life to that of a slave, a land of illusion, and two doors that they must choose from. It is clear that they are struggling with their sense of self, and that the choices they make will determine their fate.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful as it reflects on the duality of life. The singer sees their life in the mirror, and in the eyes of their double, they see their desires and fears. The line "She desires my soul, and he craves my blood" is particularly evocative as it speaks to the inner struggle between good and evil that the character is experiencing. The time of sacrifice is also alluded to, highlighting the idea that every choice comes at a cost.
The lyrics of The Choice are thought-provoking and intense, capturing the complexity of the human psyche. The song is a testament to the band's songwriting ability and the depth of their emotional intelligence.

Hey man, just some quick improvements for u, first of all gj but all the songs are first of all missing that one thing that is SOOOO important in EDM... That thing is sub-bass, I hear no sub-bass in the drop, just none... Add it there and its gonna sound 3x better, belive me. Also work on your melodies and add some spice to the tracks they are quite frankly bland rn with no real good melodic elements to them...
