Set Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have become the apparition of a dead man walking
You'll be good for nothing
You're terrified
You're tired of walking down the same damned road
So take your chance at the exit sign
Your voice is mine to carry from the ashes
I've fought for far too long to let this go
I've climbed so fucking far just to fall so far below
Who we are is our voices
We're the ones that'll hold you close
Who we are is a witness
We're the ones that'll guide you home
Fear is the omen of haunting by your own damn hands
Only in death will you wash away
You'll fade away
Now's the time to take your chances
This time you won't fail me
This time you will not fail me
This time you will not fail me
We will not give up on you
It's all or nothing
Brace for the path that lies ahead
I've fought for far too long to let this go
I've climbed so fucking far just to fall so far below
Who we are is our voices
We're the ones that'll hold you close
Who we are is a witness
We're the ones that'll guide you home
You're a failure
You have become the apparition of a dead man walking
You'll be good for nothing
The lyrics of Set's song Blood seem to express a strong sense of disappointment, frustration and an urgent call for redemption. The song starts with a harsh criticism of the subject, accusing them of being a failure and nothing but a shell of what they once were. The image described is that of a person who is aimlessly walking towards a bleak destiny, devoid of purpose, hope and courage. The phrase "You'll be good for nothing" seems to cement the negative verdict on the subject's worth and abilities.
However, the song seems to offer a glimpse of a possible way out of this predicament. The chorus emphasizes the power of voices, of human connection and empathy. The lines suggest that the subject might find solace and guidance in the voices of others who are willing to support them on their journey. The mention of fear being the omen of haunting by one's own hands, implies that the biggest obstacle in the way of the subject is their own fears and doubts. The repetition of the phrase "This time you will not fail me" further highlights the importance of not giving up on the subject and the urgency of taking chances and risks.
The last stanza of the song repeats the opening lines, but with a subtle difference. The "You're a failure" accusatory tone is replaced by "We will not give up on you". This suggests a shift in attitude towards the subject, from one of blame and despair to one of faith and support. The song ends with a hopeful call to brace up and face the challenges ahead.
