Imprisoned
Of Reverie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I hate what I've become
Anchored into the sands of time
And fleeing from anything I've ever loved
I am imprisoned
I reside in a realm of greed and pain
I shatter my dreams of becoming a great
So I'll lay here and wait until the end of my days
Alone
I can't escape from all these chains around me
They've bound me to this hell that I've been placed into
Because of you
My soul will vanish and turn to stone
And I will be left alone
In a world so cold
Without a hope
And now I lash out and break through the walls that deceive
Destroying the world that revolves around me
If I find the answers to everything
Then I will reign and be the king of kings
I won't give up
I won't give in
I will reach the end
But on the other side the spirits have no mercy
They bring me to my knees and veil my life away
And bring me to a darker place
So I can't see my echoes of glory in front of me
Take a look for I'm a monster
An evil being of malice and spite
Imprisoned in this hell I am bound to
In search of a way out
I can't escape from all these chains around me
They've bound me to this hell that I've been placed into
Because of you
My soul will vanish and turn to stone
And I will be left alone
In a world so cold
Without a hope
I am imprisoned
I AM IMPRISONED
The lyrics to Of Reverie's Imprisoned speak to the overwhelming feeling of being trapped in a life that you dislike and feeling unable to escape it. The first verse sets the tone for the song with the lines "I am my own creation/And I hate what I've become." The singer feels as though they are the cause of their own suffering and cannot escape it, as if they are "anchored into the sands of time."
In the second verse, the lyrics are more descriptive of the world that the singer is trapped in. They reside in a realm of "greed and pain" where "lifeless puppets control the game." They have given up on the dream of becoming great and instead resign themselves to laying and waiting until the end of their days.
The chorus repeats the line "I am imprisoned" as a powerful reminder of the feeling of being trapped. They cannot escape the chains that bind them, which are likely metaphorical for their circumstances. The bridge of the song brings a shift in tone, where the singer begins to take control, declaring that they won't give up or give in, and that they will reach the end.
However, the song ends on a more ominous note, where the spirits have no mercy, bringing the singer to their knees and stealing away their hope. The song touches upon the themes of the powerlessness and desperation that come with feeling trapped, while still trying to hold onto the idea of freedom and hope.
Line by Line Meaning
I am my own creation
I am responsible for who I have become
And I hate what I've become
I don't like what I see when I look at myself
Anchored into the sands of time
Stuck in the past, unable to move on
And fleeing from anything I've ever loved
Running away from the things that once brought me joy
I am imprisoned
I am trapped and cannot escape
I reside in a realm of greed and pain
I live in a world of selfishness and suffering
Where lifeless puppets control the game
People are controlled by external forces and have lost their agency
I shatter my dreams of becoming a great
I give up on my aspirations of achieving greatness
So I'll lay here and wait until the end of my days
I've given up on improving and will wait for death
Alone
Without anyone around to provide comfort or support
I can't escape from all these chains around me
I feel constrained and confined in my current situation
They've bound me to this hell that I've been placed into
I feel trapped in this unpleasant situation
Because of you
Blaming someone else for my predicament
My soul will vanish and turn to stone
I fear that I will lose my essence and become emotionless
And I will be left alone
I'll be isolated and without companionship
In a world so cold
A harsh and unforgiving environment
Without a hope
Feeling despair or hopelessness
And now I lash out and break through the walls that deceive
I'm fighting back against deceit and lies around me
Destroying the world that revolves around me
Trying to dismantle the corrupt system that surrounds me
If I find the answers to everything
Hope of finding solutions to all my problems
Then I will reign and be the king of kings
A desire for power and control
I won't give up
Determined to persevere
I won't give in
Refusing to submit to defeat
I will reach the end
Determined to see things through until the end
But on the other side the spirits have no mercy
Unexpected obstacles and challenges on the road ahead
They bring me to my knees and veil my life away
Feeling defeated and helpless
And bring me to a darker place
A metaphorical decline into despair
So I can't see my echoes of glory in front of me
Blinded by negative thoughts and unable to see the good
Take a look for I'm a monster
Feeling like a terrible person
An evil being of malice and spite
Thinking of oneself as a malevolent force
I AM IMPRISONED
Feeling trapped and unable to escape
