Ashes
No Motiv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
realm the one's in the once brighter place pass me by without a
glance alone I am without a single human touch only the demons
hunting me and I can no longer be kill me slowly and let me die
without death I have no more life living to me has no meaning I may
as well end it while I can
The lyrics to No Motiv's song "Ashes" convey a feeling of hopelessness and despair. The singer describes a world that has become dark and oppressive, and how he has become trapped within it. The people who used to be bright and happy, who used to pass him by with a cheerful greeting, now ignore him completely. The singer is left alone, with only his own demons for company. He asks to be killed slowly, so that he can finally find peace in death. Living has no meaning for him anymore, and he believes that he may as well end it while he still can.
The song speaks to the feelings of isolation and despair that many people experience at some point in their lives. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world that has lost its vibrancy and joy, and how one individual has become trapped within that world, unable to find a way out. The image of demons hunting the singer conjures up the idea of personal struggles and inner demons, which can consume us if we let them.
The song is a powerful and emotional piece that speaks to the darker side of the human experience. It highlights the importance of reaching out to others and seeking help when we feel lost or alone. It also reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.

@Gary Prebilsky lol really where??? Please Stop with the Doctrine of Devils...
1 Timothy 4:1-2
[1]Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
[2]Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron
Let's see what GOD said about Xmas thru the Prophet Jeremiah!!!
Jeremiah 10:1-4
[1]Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
[2]Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the HEATHEN, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
[3]For the customs of the people are VAIN: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
[4]They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
This is what Christ keep in the book of Matthew!! Meaning he obeyed the LAWS set fourth in the Book of Leviticus 23!!!!
Matthew 26:18
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the 》》PASSOVER 《《
at thy house with my disciples.
Repent and Live if the Laws where given to you! Psalm 147:19-20
So called Blacks Hispanics and Native Indians it's a bloodline thing!!!!

I’ve spent all of my life wondering why God chose me, why I was the outcast why I was the black sheep, why I always felt different from my family, from my friends even the two people that birthed me. Why God gave me so many gifts that he didn’t give my brothers and sisters. Why I had an anointing on me from the age of 5. Why I always had a relationship with God. I was counted out from a young age. Misunderstood abused mentally and emotionally. Abandoned, weakened, humiliated, used for my kindness, my generosity. Now I’m alone, isolated, lost my job, my boyfriend left me for someone who has more. In the midnight hour all I have is Jesus. The word of God strengthens me. I have so many ashes. God is using me for something greater. For something He put on the inside of me, before I was created. I give Him my all. Every tear every burden my joys and my pain. I lay it all out for Him. Amen 💙😇😇
