Make Them Suffer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so when I left the loop,
what were you trying to prove?
You're skin and bones crumbling.
But now the cloud are parting.
With blue skies and endless heights,
so just fill your lungs and breathe.
Slow it down, just wait.
Take some time to question life
while you're young and learning.
Take it slow, just stay.
I know it's hard but moving fast,
you're going to miss the journey.
Death embrace me, Izanami take me.
Life embrace me, Izanagi take me home.
Take me home.
The earth is coming to life again.
With blue skies and endless heights,
so face east to the sunrise.
This is my resting place, inside my mind.
you know it's fine to take your time,
so just fill your lungs and breathe.
Slow it down, just wait.
Take some time to question life
while you're young and learning.
Take it slow, just stay.
I know it's hard but moving fast,
you're going to miss the journey.
Death embrace me, Izanami take me.
Life embrace me, Izanagi take me home.
You're skin and bones and crumbling.
Just know your clock is ticking. It's moving so fast,
and all the clouds are parting. It's beaming with light,
so take my hand and trust me,
because we are going to see the sunrise.
If it's the last thing we do tonight.
The lyrics of Make Them Suffer's song Ether convey a message of hope, encouragement and reflection. The first few lines imply that the person being addressed is no longer the same, and they are not sure what they were trying to prove. The mention of the person being "skin and bones crumbling" indicates that they may have gone through some sort of hardship or personal struggle. However, the clouds are parting, and the sky is blue, representing a sense of clarity and optimism.
The song encourages the listener to slow down, take some time to question life and enjoy the journey. The lyrics express a sense of urgency, emphasizing that time is moving fast, but also that it is essential to embrace the present moment. This is reflected in the line, "just know your clock is ticking. It's moving so fast". The mention of the Japanese gods of death and life, Izanami and Izanagi, respectively, adds to the spiritual undertones of the song.
The song's overall message is about finding peace and taking time to reflect on life's journey. It is about making the most of the time we have, not rushing through life but rather enjoying every moment. The song encourages reflection and encourages us to trust in the journey ahead, even if it is uncertain.
