Gateway
Mechanical Moth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raised in a world
Of broken minds
In search of destiny
Behind

Fighting with the past
Within the heads
Longing for the memory
Of light

I see the digital grace
Humans own demise
The gateway to hell
Death suits you well
I see the digital grace

Don't trust yourself
Past becomes future
This worlds face mated
In digital grace

Confused of human lies
Sleeper of their own
Your hands full of chaos
Got a license for denying

Another way of fading
The human race




To a new existence
Digital grace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Gateway" by Mechanical Moth suggest an apocalyptic world in which humans are struggling to find their purpose, a theme common in cyber and industrial sub-genres. The opening verse "Raised in a world of broken minds, in search of destiny behind" sets the tone for the rest of the song as it describes a society that has lost its way, and the people in it, as a result, are lost and without direction. The second verse, "Fighting with the past within the heads, longing for the memory of light," speaks to the tension and conflict individuals face within themselves, battling with their pasts and searching for hope.


The chorus of "Gateway" highlights the perils of technology and the dangers it poses to humanity. Lines such as "I see the digital grace, the gateway to hell, death suits you well" hint at the notion that technological advancement is leading to the destruction of civilization. The lyrics warn of a world in which technology has taken over, and humans have lost control. The final verse "To a new existence, digital grace" suggests that the only way forward may be to embrace technology willingly or forcibly.


Overall, "Gateway" speaks to the potential dangers of technology, the struggle to find meaning in a world that has lost its way, and the consequences of ignoring the past and not being held accountable for our actions.
