Half Life
Invisions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
What it's like to feel alive
Until you're paralyzed
Get up, get up, get up
Let's wake this mother fucker up
(You've made it clear)
That the skin I wear's on loan
You really think, you really think
That your words mean anything?
Sold down the river
'Cause we're not worth our weight in gold
Live by the trigger
With a heart too cold to hold, yeah
Your heart's too cold to hold
Strike a match and you'll see a burning halo
Just like the sickness in your soul
If you can't save yourself, then who will save you?
Can't find a way, can't find a way to let it go
So fucking dry your eyes
And read between the lines
Inhaling smoke until we're (paralyzed)
To remedy our sorry state of (mind)
How long can we survive
On half a life?
How long can we survive?
How long can we survive
When half a life is all that we've got?
So drag me down until I drown
Until I'm something I'm not
Afraid to say
Fuck your sympathy
I'm not afraid to say
(Fuck your sympathy)
Strike a match and you'll see a burning halo
Just like the sickness in your soul
If you can't save yourself then who will save you?
Can't find a way, can't find a way to let go
Strike a match and you'll see
A burning halo
Just like the sickness in your soul
If you can't save yourself then who will save you?
Can't find a way, can't find a way to let it go
So fucking save yourself
So fucking save yourself
The lyrics in the song "Half Life" by Invisions delve deep into themes of self-discovery, struggle, and resilience. The opening lines convey a poignant message about the search for true vitality amidst feeling trapped or paralyzed by circumstances. The repetition of "You'll never know, you'll never know what it's like to feel alive until you're paralyzed" emphasizes the contrast between living life to the fullest and being stuck in a state of immobility or numbness.
The call to action in the following lines, "Get up, get up, get up, let's wake this motherfucker up," serves as a rallying cry to shake off complacency and invigorate oneself from within. It suggests a fierce determination to break free from restrictions and ignite a sense of purpose and urgency in one's life.
The lyrics then shift to a reflection on identity and self-worth, highlighting the struggles of feeling misunderstood or undervalued by others. The imagery of being "sold down the river" and living "by the trigger" conveys a sense of betrayal and desolation, where one's intrinsic value is questioned and their emotions are hardened.
The chorus of the song challenges the listener to confront their inner demons and seek salvation within themselves. The burning halo symbolizes a consuming inner turmoil, while the plea to "save yourself" underscores the importance of self-reliance and empowerment in navigating life's challenges. Overall, "Half Life" resonates with a message of resilience, defiance, and the unyielding resolve to overcome obstacles and reclaim one's sense of purpose and agency.
