charging loki
Sinew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who the hell do you think I am?
Like being a ball getting tossed
I guess you'll never understand
I use your shove to move me
Do you really think I can't stand
The pressure you're exerting In me
There's something that you cannot own
I am a number never seen
Alien to your calculations
You denied my existence
Now realize your mistake
Rage is the drive that makes me act
Try to embarrass me
You won't succeed in breaking me
No angels here to save my soul
It is on me to fill this hole
That you left inside of me
I swallowed just to spit it back There
is a light behind all black
I can change my destiny
You got the skills to manipulate
Just a matter of statistics
Your actions are sold as fate Fear is your tool for control
These cynical lines to obey
"Bury your privileges"
While your servants kill in Gucci suits
There is no place left to hide
Nowhere I could go Infiltrate
all fields of life
Your grin is everywhere
Deny the room for my free thoughts
A mental occupation
You're demanding everything
A hunch becomes a certainty
My past life wasn't what it seemed
Now you lose control of me
No deceptions blind my eyes
It doesn't hurt to cut these ties
That you made for taming me
I won't break
»The connections between human beings are cut Lost under a plastic surface of artificial reality All you are is a number, a bottom feeder You're the weakest link of the chain You're not human«
Do you really believe that
This should be everything?
Do you really believe that?
Should this be everything?
I found the deepest relief in Charging Loki
No angels here to save my soul
It is on me to fill this hole
That you left inside of me
I swallowed just to spit it back
There is a light behind all black
I can't change our history




But I decide my destiny
I can change

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sinew's "Charging Loki" are about an individual who is challenging their oppressor and refusing to be broken by them. The song opens with a defiant question, "Who the hell do you think I am?" This sets the tone for the entire song, as the individual takes aim at their oppressor's attempts to control them. The lyrics suggest that the individual understands their limitations as a mere mortal being who can be tossed like a ball, but refuses to let their oppressor break them. Instead, they use the pressure that is being exerted on them to fuel their rage and drive them forward.


The lyrics also suggest that the individual has been denied their existence by their oppressor, and that they have been relegated to the status of a mere number, alien to their oppressor's calculations. However, the individual refuses to be defined by their oppressor, and asserts their own agency and free will. They believe that their destiny is not predetermined by their oppressor's mere statistics, but rather by their own choices and actions.


Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that the individual has been manipulated and controlled by their oppressor's use of fear, but refuses to succumb to it. They reject their oppressor's attempts to bury their privileges, and instead seek to carve out their own path in life. The song closes with a declaration that the individual has found "deepest relief" in "Charging Loki," suggesting that they have overcome their oppressor's attempts to control them and have taken charge of their own destiny.

Back in 2011...
Young student »Ninetyfive» had an iPod.
School was out earlier on a rainy day in October.
»Ninetyfive» got on a bus, the bus was full A.F.
»Ninetyfive» stepped aside to make room for a guy in a wheelchair.
Her iPod fell down.
The guy rolled over it.
It broke.
»Ninetyfive» was sad.

- Next day -

»Ninetyfive» made her way downtown to get a new mp3-player.
She bought a very cheap one for 12.99 (yes i remember that).
And discovered that it was already charged and had 6 songs on it.
Charging Loki was one of them (also Eidolon).
»Ninetyfive» was very happy!

I love this song so much ^^
