Crimson Rider
Master Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sharp dressed fools
With their crazy rules here
And blinding advice from all my friends
Preaching for perfection
I take off in the night
It won't be long I'll be fighting there
When dawn is breaking
Holy fire, I'm not scared of you
I'll take you to burn
Watch out for your enemy
Death can be seconds away
Live for now like there's no tomorrow
And forward we ride
In this warlike machine
There'll be no returning
Holy fire, I'm not scared of you
I'll take you to burn, oh yeah
Crimson rider
I am the baron of the sky
Come feel the wind turn
Holy fire, I'm not scared of you
I'll take you to burn
Crimson rider
I am the baron of the sky
Come feel the wind turn
And when life is evil
I'll fly my wings across the sky
Is it our destiny
Killing our brothers
The lyrics of the song "Crimson Rider" by Master Plan talk about the chaos and confusion that surrounds us in our society, and how we can cope with it by taking control of our lives. The opening lines "As far as the eye can see, Sharp dressed fools, With their crazy rules here, And blinding advice from all my friends" refer to the people who try to control our lives with their opinions and advice, which can often be misleading. The singer takes off in the night, ready to fight for what he/she believes in, and awaits the dawn with courage and hope.
The song also talks about the inevitability of death and how we should not fear it but embrace it with open arms. The lines "Watch out for your enemy, Death can be seconds away, Live for now like there's no tomorrow, And forward we ride, In this warlike machine, There'll be no returning" reflect the idea that we should live every moment of our life as if there's no tomorrow and fight for what we believe in, without regret.
The last verse of the song raises a question- "Is it our destiny, Killing our brothers?" This line implies that humans often end up fighting and killing each other due to differences in opinion or beliefs. It makes the listener reflect on the bigger picture, and whether we have a choice in avoiding conflicts and promoting peace.
