Distant Voices
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The darkness becomes liquid and I'm drowning in the deep
Sinking like a stone, coming through different mental spheres
I see so many people reaching out when I get near.
I can see despair in their eyes and I hear them call,
They want me to rescue them, want me to free them all
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
Calling for me
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
Calling for me
They all lost their time
Did not see their aim
Died without a sense
They're still unredeemed
[Chorus]
I've seen them everywhere in this world, legions of no hope.
They always close their eyes and they forget all what they know.
Perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death,
But it is too late to turn around...
If they'd seen it all before they wouldn't suffer this way now
'Cause it's easy dying after one has lived a fulfilled life
But perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death
And then it's too late to change it all...
[Chorus]
Distant voices...
In the song, "Distant Voices," Rage explores a common theme of feeling disconnected and isolated from the world around us. The opening lyrics describe a feeling of drowning in the darkness, a metaphor for the overwhelming weight of one's worries and fears. The singer then has a vision of people reaching out to him, their eyes filled with despair and begging for his help. The chorus repeats the phrase "Distant voices, I hear them calling me, Calling for me," emphasizing the urgency and desperation of those cries for help.
The second verse expands on this vision, describing "legions of no hope" who have lost track of their purpose and are unable to escape their suffering. The verse suggests that many of these people only realize the meaning of their lives when it is too late, as they are dying. The final chorus reinforces this idea of missed opportunity and regret, as the singer can still hear the distant voices of those who were unable to fulfill their purpose.
The song is a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy and connection in a world that often feels cold and uncaring. The haunting chorus and stirring melody give the song a timeless, almost spiritual quality.

They all lost their time Did not see their aim Died without a sense They're still unredeemed
People have wasted their lives by not having a clear goal, they died without purpose and are still unfulfilled.
I've seen them everywhere in this world, legions of no hope.
I've encountered these hopeless people in many places around the world.
They always close their eyes and they forget all what they know.
These people tend to ignore the harsh reality and abandon what they know.
Perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death,
They only realize the truth when they're close to death.
But it is too late to turn around...
Unfortunately, it's too late for them to change their ways.
If they'd seen it all before they wouldn't suffer this way now
They wouldn't be in such agony if they have faced the reality before.
'Cause it's easy dying after one has lived a fulfilled life
It's easy to accept death after a successful and fulfilled life.
And then it's too late to change it all...
At that point, any chance at redemption is impossible.
