Elegy
Reactor7x Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've trashed my mind
You've taken that all
And left stripped down
Elegy for my soul
Voice of the sorrow
Left in the mud
You've made me see
No reason to be
No place here
Time to disappear
Time to die
No will to cry
You've made me see
You're nothing to me
With words so sharp
World so hollow
Inexistent body
Filled with angst
Waiting for revenge
Waiting for god
The lyrics "You've ripped my heart, you've trashed my mind, you've taken it all and left stripped down" indicate that the singer has been through a painful experience, likely at the hands of someone they trusted. These lines set the tone for the rest of the song, which is an elegy for their soul. The following lines further emphasize the singer's despair, as they feel like there's no reason for them to exist anymore. They feel like they're in "the mud" and "turned inside out," which suggest a feeling of being completely exposed and vulnerable.
The elegy is "for my soul," meaning that the singer isn't just mourning a loss of someone or something external to themselves, but they're mourning a loss of a part of themselves as well. The "voice of sorrow" suggests that the singer is giving voice to their own pain and anguish, which is something that they may have previously kept hidden or suppressed. The singer's sense of emptiness is conveyed through the line "no reason to be, no place here," indicating that they've lost their sense of purpose and belonging. The final lines, "waiting for revenge, waiting for god," suggest that the singer may be contemplating taking some sort of action to resolve their pain, which gives the song a sense of tension and anticipation.
