The Intervention
Nine Lashes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The whole world is out
And they want to get me to bleed
And these stolen seconds
They were never mine
So if you believe
That somehow you killed your dream
Just listen close to mine
Wait, this whole intervention is mine
I'm failing to mention
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have made
The dreams that we have made
See, if we let them take what was ours to conceive
Then these circumstances, they will never die
So if you believe the world has killed your dreams
Then take your turn to shine
Indeed, the brilliant invention is mine
I have their attention
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have made
The dreams that we have made
(The dreams that we have made)
Wait
This whole intervention is mine
I'm failing to mention
Today
Though the world had cemented its heart
It's starting to break
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have
Tame
We'll start the crossing with the simple lines
Wake up on the other side of
Sane
Still held in place, they blame the simple lines
Wake up to the dreams that we have made
The dreams that we have made
(The dreams that we have made)
(The dreams that we have made)
The lyrics of the song "The Intervention" by Nine Lashes has a deeper meaning that talks about the struggle that every person faces in life. The first verse of the song is describing how the world is against the singer, making it hard for him to breathe. The struggles of life have taken its toll on him and caused him to bleed. He feels that the seconds are stolen from him, meaning that he is always racing against time in trying to keep up with the pace of life. The lyrics then go ahead to provide the singer's perspective on the world's perception of dreams, that they are dead. However, he believes that if people take turns to shine, the world will be a better place.
The chorus of the song, on the other hand, is telling the listener that the intervention mentioned in the song is for the singer's benefit. The singer pledges to tame the conditions that have led to his current struggles and come out sane, with the support of his dreams. The verse "Wake up to the dreams that we have made" means to stop ignoring what is most important to us - our dreams or desires.
The bridge talks about how the world has, for a long time, struggled to maintain its heart. However, the singer believes things are starting to break, giving a glimmer of hope that things are about to change.
