Revitalized
Painted in Exile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I get confused when I think about the bottom of the trees.
Life begins, or does it end?
It all depends on your perception.
Changed, but the same thing
Revitalized It's the universal vile putrid circulation
Soon there will be nothing left, you will see
Through my dreams
We're Dead.
Some other being breaths life from our last breath.
Piece by piece, I find peace when wind blows the leaves
It takes away my grief and I cannot believe what I have learned
About life just from looking up at the sky.
Repeats over and over we climb higher, but now up is down
The sky is ground and I love the way the clouds feel.
Always love the way the clouds feel.
We climber higher on my heels
If you sailed the seven seas
And saw everything to see
How open your mind would be,
But you don't believe.
Like the ground underneath the trees
And all it's complexity
You would fall to your knees
When you see what lies beneath.
Even if I show you the truth you will not be enlightened
You shut your eyes 'cause you would rather be blind
To the other point of view, so rot.
Face the facts your god has inevitably collapsed. Forsake my speaking. I'm condemned by only being sorry For believing what you said to me through baptized youth.
Forgive me
I wish you were in my head You count the stars before you go to bed Revitalized. My soul is tied to my mind Cloak myself, away a world inside
(Through dark times light protrudes through faith and perspective. The principle of conscious life.)
Drain the life out of the world.
If you sailed the seven seas
And saw everything to see
How open your mind would be,
But you don't believe.
Like the ground underneath the trees
And all it's complexity
You would fall to your knees
When you see what lies beneath.
Beating hearts have power that will become towers
Of our evolutionary progress.
God will be wiped clean, and the war can now finally stop.
A day when you can walk through the streets of the middle east and not worry about getting shot.
Evening shade turns into daylight.
Man ushers in another era of existence
We bid farewell to our past that we walk unwavered from.
The lyrics of Painted in Exile's song Revitalized delve deep into philosophical ideas of life, death, and perspective. The first verse speaks of the roots of trees, and how they go down deeper than we can see. The vocalist, however, gets confused when he thinks about the bottom of the trees, wondering whether it's the beginning or the end of life. It all comes down to perception, and how we interpret life as we see it. The second and third verses bring forth the idea that our existence is but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things. The lyrics are filled with introspection, asking listeners to reflect on their beliefs and whether their worldview is accurate.
The chorus speaks of the power of the heart and how it can become the driving force of progress. The song then ends on an optimistic note, painting a picture of a future where man has ushered in a new era of existence and left behind the dark times.

One of those songs that makes you come back to from time to time just to remember its brilliance. It's a shame these dudes didn't blow up more than they did cuz they clearly have talent. Song almost has a between the buried and me-Alaska era feel to it. Such a great song, goddamn
Alicsander
+brett barreras Well they're trying again with the new LP releasing soon. I feel like this time they have a chance since Prog has lately gotten more popular then before.
ThePurestMayhem
+brett barreras this is exactly what you said. i come here every now and then to check this video and it definitely reeks of Alaska. i love this to no end, cant wait for the debut
Poo Choo Train
2020 and this band is still one of those bands for me. It's far too brilliant
An Infinite Mind of Music and Dreams
There's been a lot of great bands during this era of the scene that have disbanded or just fallen to the wayside not being able to capture their earlier greatness. As far as I know some of the members are in other projects. I do hope Painted in Exile return with a new album though. I come back to this song pretty often.
Alfonso
I forgot how good this band was/is and dug out my Revitalized EP. This is such a beautiful track. Very underrated and highly skilled band.
The Levitator
I love these guys, they definitely deserve to be signed, there style of music is so refreshing. I cant wait for their new album to come out
Nick Reid
this guy is probably the best vocalist of the 21st century
Mr Beast
Been actively listening. Dude is easily one of my favorite deathcore vocalists. Dudes technique is actually really impressive. His singing voice gives me the impression he did theatrics or something along those lines. Dude was and still is super talented.
Andrew Ferrara
i love how they go from kick ass metal to the calm jazz influenced style great stuff
