Alpha Omega
Project Pitchfork Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagine a child
Living in a dark place
Being accused of being a failure
Nothing is right
Everything is wrong

Imagine this child
Growing up in a world
Which pays no attention
To its positive behavior
Always noticing
The bad things

Imagine a person
Appearing on this scene
Giving love
Giving back its selfesteem
This child will turn away
From its hopeless past
And continue its life
In conscience and trust

The same could be with humanity

Alpha Omega
Alpha and Omega

Small things are big
Huge things are small
Tiny acts have huge effects
Everything counts
Nothing's lost

Imagine a crayfish
Thrown into boiled water
It will try to escape
As fast as it can

But imagine this crayfish
Put into clear cold water
And imagine this water
Slowly heated up
This crayfish will stay motionless
Until he's cooked to death





Same happens to humanity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Project Pitchfork's song Alpha Omega paint a picture of a child living in a dark and foreboding place, being unfairly judged and labeled a failure. The child is surrounded by negativity and criticism, with no positive reinforcement to promote positive growth or development. However, a person appears on the scene and shows love and compassion, restoring the child's self-esteem and faith in humanity.


This song's message can be applied to humanity as a whole. Small acts of kindness can have a significant impact, and every action and decision matters. The lyrics posit that tiny acts can have massive ripple effects, and nothing is ever truly lost or forgotten. At the same time, the song highlights the dangers of complacency and inaction. If individuals fail to take action or speak out against injustice, they risk falling victim to the same hopeless fate as the child in the first verse.


Overall, the lyrics of Alpha Omega serve as a reminder that every individual has the power to make a positive difference in the world. Through empathy, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to doing what is right, we can come together and create a brighter future for ourselves and future generations.

It was always so strange how I use the same symbolism, understand the meaning behind the lyrics and feel the music to the deepness of it. It all fell into place when I found out I am born on the same day as the lead singer and I question my existence and the existence of humanity daily... I wish to have a glass of wine with Peter Spilles.
