Holy Diver
Killswitch Engage Lyrics

Yeah yeah
An expression of excitement or agreement towards what is to come.

Holy Diver
A person who is pure and true to themselves.

You've been down too long in the midnight sea
You've stayed in a dark and negative place for too long.

Oh what's becoming of me
A realization that the negative experiences have taken hold and are affecting oneself.

Ride the tiger
Take a chance and live dangerously.

You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
You can see the danger in front of you, but you trust that it won't harm you.

Oh don't you see what I mean
An exclamation to those who don't understand or see what is being said.

Gotta get away
The realization that change must occur to escape the negative cycle.

Shiny diamonds
The lure of material possessions and the temptation it brings.

Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
The seductive and dangerous nature of materialism.

Something is coming for you
A warning that the temptation will lead to undesirable consequences.

Race for the morning
The need to push oneself towards a better future.

You can hide in the sun 'til you see the light
There are always opportunities for growth and change.

Oh we will pray it's all right
Hope that the change will bring positive results.

Between the velvet lies
The hidden truth beneath the beautiful exterior.

There's a truth that's hard as steel
The unyielding nature of the truth.

The vision never dies
The ability to see through the surface appearance and recognize the truth.

Life's a never ending wheel, yeah
The cyclical nature of life, with ups and downs.

You're the star of the masquerade
A recognition that life is like a performance or game, and you are the center of your own story.

No need to look so afraid
A reminder to be brave and face challenges head on.

Jump on the tiger
To take the opportunity and not hold back.

You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
The recognition that the opportunity may come with risks and challenges.

Some light can never be seen
Some things cannot be understood or explained.

Holy Diver, sole survivor
The recognition that one is unique and survives despite challenges.

Your heart is clean
One's moral compass is true and unwavering.

You're caught in the middle coming after you, Holy Diver
Challenges continue to arise, but one is strong enough to face them.

Get away, get away, get away, come on
The continued need to escape negative cycles and move forward.
