Nocturnal Bloodlust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't I select result? I listen to me now
There are so many things. You can't hold surrounded by the unknown one
How could you answer this unpredictable question?
As you keep your gaze averted from next Destination
Where is pure shining your face had? Crush into thed border. Hiding sorrow Falling down deeply
Primary secret placement doesn't exist
So take my hand
Walk with me never turn back to
where you are used to close yourself
Take my hand.
Walk with me never turn back to
where you are used to close yourself
anytime
In pain you're in fire disaster causes
Primary secret placement doesn't exist
Breakable failure ruins everything controlled
So take my hand
Walk with me never turn back to
where you are used ti close yourself
Take my hand.
Walk with me never turn back to
where you are used to close yourself
anytime
The lyrics of "Obligation" by Nocturnal Bloodlust seems to be addressing a person who is struggling to decide between staying alive and telling the truth, or simply lying about how they feel. The singer of the song is questioning why they can't choose what they want and urging them to take their hand instead of avoiding their next destination. The lyrics then address the issue of hiding one's sorrow and putting on a facade of happiness. The chorus repeats the plea to take their hand and walk away from their old life, never to look back.
The song seems to be about finding the courage to face one's true self and escape from a life of pain and regret. The lyrics touch on topics of self-denial, insecurity, and the fear of the unknown. The overall message seems to be that it's okay to let go of the past and start anew, even if it's scary.
