Crimson
Sink The City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find your inner strength and run
The blood flows between us; an ocean of red
The cracks in society grow wider still
Your life discarded on a whim
Where is your faith as it all goes to s**t?
Together, we create a force stronger than we'll watch shatter before us
Together, we create a force stronger
I will come back for you
Your temples hold no shelter
Mankind, lost in the seas of shattered morals
Burning cities, cruxes led a cross
I won't laugh at false idols
I will
I will come back for
I will
I will come back for you
Blegh
The song "Crimson" by Sink The City is a powerful and passionate call to action against the deterioration of society as a whole. The first verse expresses a defiant refusal to be brought down by an outside force, and urges the listener to find their own inner strength and fight back. The second verse explores the idea that we are all connected by the blood that flows through our veins, but that this connection is being torn apart by the widening cracks in society. The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, suggesting that together we can create a force stronger than anything that may tear us down.
The bridge of the song takes on a more contemplative tone, questioning the existence of any higher power or salvation in the face of such destruction. The repeated refrain of "I will come back for you" serves to inspire and reassure the listener that they are not alone in this struggle. The final verse speaks to the idea that even our most sacred places are not safe from the chaos of the world, and urges us to stay true to our values and not be swayed by false idols.
Overall, "Crimson" is a powerful anthem of solidarity and resilience in the face of adversity. Its urgent message is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt helpless or hopeless in a world that can seem overwhelming.
