Opponent
Siva Six Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Put your finger on the trigger
Beneath our feet, the city lights
Living on the edge, ain't that thrilling
Let's not avoid falling in trance

The wheel of fortune is now spinning
But we are both blind and high on drugs
Our need for life is still breathing
Touch my eyes, it's not a lie

Let the wounds, they open up wide
Don't try to hide your eyes from mine
Our dreams are wasted and out of time
It's written on the wall, we will burn tonight

We'll burn tonight
It's written on the wall, we will burn tonight
It's written on a scheme, we will burn tonight

Flimsy hands tearing letters
Soul choke after the loss
A childish song that screams in Heaven
The sight of the moon, our love that falls

Your blue eyes are trembling from speed
Our vigorous fuse rapidly burns
You watch for stars in my mirrors
Cut my flesh, a trick that works

Let the wounds, they open up wide
Don't try to hide your eyes from mine
Our dreams are wasted and out of time
It's written on the wall, we will burn tonight

We'll burn tonight




It's written on the wall, we will burn tonight
It's written on a scheme, we will burn tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Opponent" by Siva Six portrays the intensity and passion of a tumultuous relationship on the brink of destruction. The opening line "Put your finger on the trigger" sets the tone for the rest of the song, implying that the relationship is volatile and one wrong move could lead to disaster. The next line, "Beneath our feet, the city lights" creates a sense of urgency and danger, as if the couple is living on the edge and the world is watching their every move.


Despite the danger, the couple is drawn to the excitement of their relationship, as seen in the line "Living on the edge, ain't that thrilling, let's not avoid falling in trance." However, they are blinded by their own desires and perhaps, drugs, as seen in the line "But we are both blind and high on drugs, our need for life is still breathing."


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship is doomed. The line "Our dreams are wasted and out of time" suggests that their hopes and aspirations for the future are no longer feasible, and the lyrics "It's written on the wall, we will burn tonight" foreshadow the final and catastrophic end to their relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

Put your finger on the trigger
Prepare yourself for what is about to come


Beneath our feet, the city lights
We are surrounded by a bustling city below us


Living on the edge, ain't that thrilling
Taking dangerous risks is exciting


Let's not avoid falling in trance
Let's give in to the trance-like state we're in


The wheel of fortune is now spinning
Our fate is uncertain and out of our control


But we are both blind and high on drugs
We are not thinking clearly due to drug use


Our need for life is still breathing
We still have a strong desire to live


Touch my eyes, it's not a lie
Believe what you see in my eyes, it's the truth


Let the wounds, they open up wide
Allow your wounds to show, don't hide them


Don't try to hide your eyes from mine
Don't avoid making eye contact with me


Our dreams are wasted and out of time
We have lost sight of our dreams and aspirations


It's written on the wall, we will burn tonight
Our destruction is inevitable


Flimsy hands tearing letters
Our hands are weak as we tear apart letters


Soul choke after the loss
Our souls are suffocating after experiencing loss


A childish song that screams in Heaven
A naive song that echoes through the heavens


The sight of the moon, our love that falls
The sight of the moon reminds us of our love that is fading


Your blue eyes are trembling from speed
Your eyes are shaking from the rush of adrenaline


Our vigorous fuse rapidly burns
Our energy and passion is quickly burning out


You watch for stars in my mirrors
You look for hope in something that reflects back to you


Cut my flesh, a trick that works
Hurting myself is a way to feel something, anything


We'll burn tonight
We will face our downfall tonight


It's written on a scheme, we will burn tonight
Our failure is part of a larger plan, and we will burn tonight
