Beyond Repair
Johnny Booth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

We swam towards the net
With no voice or call for grief
This cannot all be sustained in this wasteland
The mouths are stuffed and I have broke the souls of creation
Before our last breath, the blood will forget me
We're carelessly breeding
They can't forget that we won't last
We have the information
The rise of our deception
Resist infatuation
Of your gods and your countries
To be free
We soaked our eyes in blasphemy
To be free
We choked our hearts just to keep afloat
Awake the martyr
Upon the wings of this dissolution
We grew the creatures that formed from the warpath
Our curse that these streets walk freely forget that
Rulers and rejects engage in a false act
But we give into this
We can't give into this
Let's be clear that I'm not here
Wasting away the words
Wasting the air we breathe
We ran the masses 'til the waves ran dry
Can it go on
This crisis we let happen




With every single action of hesitation
Don't feed the masses

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "We swam towards the net, with no voice or call for grief" suggest a sense of determination and urgency in the face of an impending danger or trap. The singer seems to be acknowledging a lack of communication or ability to express sorrow in a difficult situation. The imagery of swimming towards a net could symbolize a struggle or entrapment, both physically and metaphorically.


The mention of sustaining life in a wasteland, where "mouths are stuffed" and the singer has "broke the souls of creation," hints at a desolate and destructive environment. There is a sense of hopelessness and despair in these lines, as if the actions of humanity have led to a state of irreversible damage and harm. The impending sense of mortality is further emphasized with the line "Before our last breath, the blood will forget me," suggesting a looming end or reckoning.


The themes of deception, resistance, and freedom emerge in the subsequent verses, as the singer reflects on the consequences of human actions and the need to break free from societal constraints and false idols. The call to resist infatuation with gods and countries points towards a desire for liberation and independence from oppressive systems. The references to blasphemy and choking hearts to stay afloat convey a sense of sacrifice and defiance in the face of adversity.


The closing lines urging not to "feed the masses" could be interpreted as a plea to avoid perpetuating cycles of destruction and ignorance. The repeated questioning of whether the crisis can continue and the acknowledgement of hesitations leading to harmful outcomes reveal a sense of responsibility and accountability. Overall, the lyrics of "Beyond Repair" by Johnny Booth convey a deep sense of introspection, rebellion, and disillusionment with societal norms and structures that have led to a state of decay and moral ambiguity.
