In Charge
Skar de Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So breathe it in now
Weight it slowly in your own hands
See, what you know will never touch you
Igniting every light
To get it right, to dodge another bite
But did you plan to ignite
This backfiring bullet
Get everything in line (To make sure no one would bring you down)
But when the bullet pierces your heart (To make sure that you're hitting the ground)
Tell me, do you feel in charge?
Sitting in the dark, examining all of our systems
While the windows to the world are wearing down our faces
We gotta stay prepared for all things, to reach another rank
While in the book of our dictators the pages are blank
Devoting all this time (To make sure no one would bring you down)
Get everything in line (To make sure no one would bring you down)
But when the bullet pierces your heart (To make sure that you're hitting the ground)
Tell me, do you feel in charge?
Waiting for that day when everything will fall in place
And only by then realize that everything has changed
Because simply no one understands what the fuck is going on
That's the worlds dirtiest secret you've stumbled upon
Devoting all this time
Get everything in line
But when the bullet pierces your heart
Tell me, do you feel in charge?
(To make sure no-one would bring you down)
Get everything in line (To make sure no one would bring you down)
But when the bullet pierces your heart (To make sure that you're hitting the ground)
Tell me, tell me
Devoting all this time (To make sure no one would bring you down)
Get everything in line (To make sure no one would bring you down)
But when the bullet pierces your heart (To make sure that you're hitting the ground)
Tell me, do you feel in charge?
The lyrics to Skar de Line's song "In Charge" explore themes of fear, self-reflection, and the unpredictability of life. The opening lines, "Scared to touch what you don't know / So breathe it in now," suggest a hesitation to step outside of one's comfort zone and explore new experiences. The idea of "weighting slowly in your own hands" could symbolize the careful consideration and evaluation of the unknown.
The lyrics continue, "What you know will never touch you / Igniting every light / To get it right, to dodge another bite / But did you plan to ignite this backfiring bullet." Here, the song addresses the idea that sticking to what is known and safe may not protect one from harm or negative consequences. The metaphorical "backfiring bullet" represents an unexpected outcome, perhaps resulting from trying to control every aspect of life.
The lines "Devoting all this time / Get everything in line / But when the bullet pierces your heart / Tell me, do you feel in charge?" highlight the singer's efforts to meticulously plan and control their life, but ultimately realizing that they have no control over certain events. The mention of the bullet piercing the heart suggests a painful or impactful moment of realization.
The lyrics shift to a broader societal perspective, discussing the examination of systems and the wearing down of individuals by external influences. The lines "Sitting in the dark, examining all of our systems / While the windows to the world are wearing down our faces" convey a sense of disillusionment or frustration with the state of the world.
Overall, the lyrics of "In Charge" convey a message about the limitations of control and the uncertainty of life. It encourages self-reflection and the recognition that, despite efforts to attain control, external forces can still have a significant impact. It also touches upon the complexities of society and the disillusionment that can stem from trying to make sense of the world.

Because no one comprehends the chaotic state of affairs
That's the worlds dirtiest secret you've stumbled upon
That's the hidden truth you've unexpectedly encountered
Tell me, tell me
Please, inform me
