Shaolin Death Squad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of my life. All in a life of time.
We rise above the plans we’ve made for the day.
And we hold the key to the cage that we’ve made for our face.
You will never find it. Even with a card of tarot…even with a ball of crystal.
You can never hide it. You will never go the distance…you will never run away from fate.
All of our fears. all in a fear of time.
All of our tears. All of our tears in life.
We arise for our new day that we think we’ve planned.
Or did they make the cage for the key that we have to our faces.
You will never find it. Even with a card of tarot…even with a ball of crystal.
You can never hide it. You will never go the distance…you can never run away from fate.
Come try as you may, to find a place secured within a space away from fate.
See what you will find, something more than the games.
The games that children play. Watching your every move by the end of the day.
You cannot weave the fabric of destiny…you are just a puppet that’s being pulled by the strings.
I want every thing my way…want complete control of fate.
I don’t think you get the picture.
Need the needle that can weave fabrics of our destiny…need control to set me free.
I don’t think you get the picture.
I want every thing my way…want complete control of fate.
We rise above the plans we’ve made for the day.
And we hold the key to the cage that we’ve made for our face.
We will never find it. Even with a card of tarot…even with a ball of crystal.
We can never hide it. We will never go the distance…we can never run away from fate.
Come try as you may, to find a place secured within a space away from fate.
Wipe away your tears to find a trace of the years on your face.
A way from fate…see what you will find.
It’s a game. You can’t run away…you can’t hide from fate.
The lyrics of Shaolin Death Squad's song "Choreographer of Fate" suggest that all of our lives are predetermined and that no matter how much we try to control our lives, fate always catches up with us. The opening lines of the song state that everything is a part of time, and that everything we do is just a part of the bigger picture of our lives. The lyrics go on to say that we think we have control over our destiny, but we are just living in a cage that we have created for ourselves.
The song continues with references to tarot cards and crystals, suggesting that no amount of searching or searching for answers will help us escape our fate. The lyrics also suggest that we are all just puppets being controlled by fate, and that there is nothing we can do to change our destiny. The chorus repeats the idea that we can never escape our fate, no matter how hard we try.
The last verse of the song seems to suggest that the only way to escape our fate is to accept it and let go of the desire to control everything. The lyrics suggest that by wiping away our tears and embracing the years that have passed, we can find a way to live with our fate.
