Raiders
Owl Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No they can't stop raiding
There is no force left in us
Just our souls remaining
When will they loosen their hold
And carry me carry me oh
I've been dreaming of tales I've been told
They'll never let me go
Always raiding me raiding me oh
Can you hear me calling out
As they carry me away
I'll give it all that I have to give
To fight back the storm that is closing in
I'll give it all that I have to
I'll give it all that I have to
Rolling with the thunder on the wind
Come in with the storm that's closing in
I'll give it all that I have to
I'll give it all that I have to
No they can't stop raiding us
No they can't stop raiding
It's a long long way for us
As they keep on taking
When will they loosen their hold
And carry me carry me oh
I've been dreaming of tales I've been told
They carry me away
They'll never let me go
Always raiding me raiding me oh
Can you hear me calling out
As they carry me away
I'll give it all I have to give
To fight back the storm that is closing in
I'll give it all I have to
I'll give it all I have to
I'll give it all I have to give
To fight back the storm that is closing in
I'll give it all I have to
I'll give it all I have to
Rolling with the thunder on the wind
Come in with the storm that's closing in
I'll give it all I have to
I'll give it all I have to
I'll give it all I have to
I'll give it all I have to
The lyrics of Owl Eyes's song "Raiders" suggest a sense of helplessness and vulnerability as the singer laments how raiders keep attacking and taking away, leaving them with nothing but their souls. The repeated line "No they can't stop raiding us" implies a resignation to the situation and a feeling of being trapped. The singer yearns to be carried away by stories and adventures, hoping for escape from the raiders. The lines "I'll give it all that I have to give to fight back the storm that is closing in" show a determination to resist despite the overwhelming odds.
The song may be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggles we face in life, where we are constantly under attack by various forces, be it societal expectations, personal demons, or external circumstances. The repeating refrain of "can you hear me calling out" emphasizes the need for connection and support in times of hardship.
Overall, "Raiders" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the human experience of adversity and the resilience needed to overcome it.
