Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the knives twist deeper in your back
Still I feel a breeze
Again he kows what it means to hate
And his heart cannot forget
From the earth his blood
The lyrics of Istra's song Chuck's Song are strikingly powerful and emotionally charged. The opening lines "Breathe - and still believe, While the knives twist deeper in your back, Still I feel a breeze" seem to convey a message of hope in the midst of pain and betrayal. Even as the singer (presumably Chuck) faces deeper wounds from those around him, he is urged to hold onto his belief and not give up. The image of feeling a breeze, which is often associated with renewal and revitalization, suggests that there is still a way forward, even in the midst of chaos.
