Burning Our Morals Away
Slaves Lyrics

They say it's hot in the spotlight, too much for some So enjoy the shade 'Cause your sparks will fade
The pressure of fame can be too much for some individuals while others thrive under the attention. Those who can't handle it will eventually lose their spark while others can still find enjoyment and stay strong.

Oh me, I'm doing just fine With the weight of the world on my shoulders They said it was over, they said I grew colder, they said it was over
Despite carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders, the singer feels fine and unmoved by the naysayers who believe they have lost their passion and drive.

'Cause we are, we are the real ones Will we refuse to run and hide? Watch us pour our hearts into every note While they fall to the side ('Cause we are)
The singer and their fellow musicians are determined to stand their ground and not hide from opposition, as they passionately perform for those who appreciate their music.

Fight fire with fire Only lessons learned Rise above the ashes From the bridges burned
When faced with challenges, one must not only match the intensity of the situation but also learn from it in order to move forward and rise above the consequences.

Let's sing in a city of ruins Walk on through the trail of dirt Call it justice or call it Call it justice or call it revenge So love, have we suffered enough? So now we kill what we love
The artist calls for defiance and action in a seemingly hopeless world, unsure whether the destruction they bring upon the corrupt system is justified or simply an act of vengeance born from suffering.

Tore myself apart Before, before anyone else could
The singer came to terms with their own identity and internal struggles before allowing others to do so, taking control of their own narrative instead of letting outsiders define them.

'Cause we are, we are the real ones Who will refuse to run and hide Watch us pour our hearts into every note While they fall to the side 'Cause we are Fight fire with fire Only lessons learned Rise above the ashes From the bridges burned
Once again, the singer emphasizes their determination to stand firm and not be swayed by detractors, demonstrating resilience and strength in the face of adversity.

Tore myself apart Before anyone else could Tore ourselves apart To find out who we are
The artist garnered self-awareness and preserved their unique identity by enacting change and introspection within, struggling through personal growth and deciding who they wanted to be independently of outside forces.
