Phoenix
Netrum & Halvorsen Lyrics

The year is 1991
The setting for this story is the year 1991

Birds and people are living together in seemingly perfect harmony
At first glance, there appears to be a peaceful coexistence between nature and humans

Until one day a young man catches fire
However, something unexpected happens when a young man bursts into flames

This is phoenix
This event is likened to the Phoenix, a mythical bird known for its ability to rise from the ashes and be reborn

You've been knocked down and got up again
The singer is addressing the listener, acknowledging that they have faced challenges but have persevered and overcome them

In the corner, you're surrounded, no defenders
The listener is currently in a difficult situation with no help or allies to assist them

Woah you
The singer adds emphasis to their words, making a dramatic appeal to the listener

You've hid your fury and kept it in
The listener has been concealing their anger and frustration, not letting it show

But it's time now you ignite and turn to embers
The singer is encouraging the listener to let go of their bottled-up emotions and allow them to fuel their actions

You burst into fire burn
As the listener embraces their emotions, they burst into action with fiery passion

A thirst and desire
The listener is driven by a strong urge to succeed and make a change

You transform, light up in a flash
In their newfound confidence, the listener transforms themselves into a powerful force that cannot be ignored

You spread your wings and rise from the ashes
Like the Phoenix, the listener becomes reborn and rises above their setbacks

They get you down, but you get up
Despite being knocked down, the listener refuses to stay down and continues to fight back

They let you drown, but you don't stop
Even when it seems like they are being pushed to their limits, the listener refuses to give up

You show them you're a phoenix
Through their actions, the listener proves to others that they are resilient and can rise above any challenge

You've seen the truth behind the veil
The listener has gained a new level of insight and understanding

And you know that they're just looking for attention
The listener understands that those who have been trying to bring them down are only seeking attention for themselves

Don't let their ruthlessness prevail
The singer encourages the listener not to let their detractors win by being ruthless or cruel

Oh, it's time now, light your fire for ascension
Instead, the listener should use their inner fire to propel themselves even higher and achieve greater things
