Nobody
Ravenscry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swept by the people
By the frenzy of their own routine
Nobody is your name
Always dressed in grey
In a city without sun
Nobody is your name
In a deserted valley, in the world
Nobody is your name
You can't conquer a place
In heaven nor in this life
You're Nobody and you're not free
To sacrifice yourself
To hope, to escape
You're Nobody and you'll live
At the foot of an acropolis
Where shine the plates whose
Descends from gods
You're Nobody and you'll be alone
Till you're future won't be written
'Cause you smell of stranger
In your own land
Nobody is your name
In an eternal search
Of a meaning that will fade soon
Nobody is your name
And you'll always live
To wait and not to attain
In a weird slavery
With a book in the hands
And a lot ideas inside your head
That you can shout in (the) wind
But you're Nobody and
Nobody will hear you
You're Nobody and you're not free
To sacrifice yourself
To hope, to escape
You're Nobody and you'll live
At the foot of an acropolis
Where shine the plates whose
Descends from gods
You're Nobody and you'll be alone
Till you're future won't be written
'Cause you smell of stranger
In your own land
You're Nobody and you're not free
To sacrifice yourself
To hope, to escape
You're Nobody and you'll live
At the foot of an acropolis
Where shine the plates whose
Descends from gods
You're Nobody and you'll be alone
Till you're future won't be written
'Cause you smell of stranger
In your own land
You're Nobody and you're not free
To sacrifice yourself
To hope, to escape
You're Nobody and you'll live
At the foot of an acropolis
Where shine the plates whose
Descends from gods
You're Nobody and you'll be alone
Till you're future won't be written
'Cause you smell of stranger
In your own land
The song "Nobody" by Ravenscry speaks about a person who feels lost and alone in a world where people are caught up in their daily routines. The person is described as "Nobody," dressed in grey, and living in a city without sunshine. The lyrics suggest that this person is constantly searching for a meaning to their existence but will never find it in this life. The lines "Nobody is your name, and you'll always live to wait and not to attain" depict a person who is trapped in a cycle of waiting for something to happen but never getting closer to their goals.
The song suggests that "Nobody" is what society has made them, and they cannot escape their status. They are not free to sacrifice themselves, hope, or escape the reality of their situation. The lyrics hint that the person is an outsider in their own land because they smell of a stranger, implying that they do not fit in with the mainstream culture. The person is described as being at the foot of an acropolis, where shiny plates descend from the gods. This could be a metaphor for the unrealistic expectations that society has placed on this person, leaving them feeling small and insignificant in comparison.
Overall, the lyrics of "Nobody" by Ravenscry are a powerful critique of modern society, where so many people are trapped in an endless cycle of work, bills, and routines, without a clear sense of purpose or direction. The song invites us to reflect on our own lives and find ways to break free from the constraints that hold us back.

She has such a siren voice, keeps drawing me back....
BloodySawBlade
She's a beautiful woman that can really sing. A very well made haunting, yet artfully done heavy metal music video.

If we had a heavy metal, hard rock mtv, we would know about all of these other kick ass bands out there. Sad that we have to find them on youtube.
Princess-Eva
Yeah, I get what you mean. I wish that there was a Rock/Metal MTV Station.
