Together As One
Sleeping Gods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the return of perseverance
We are the rebirth of the rising sun
Back in the time when all has begun
You and me as one
We are the angels, are the devils
Live in heaven and hell
We are the angels, die little sorrow, leave our heart
We are the angels, die little sorrow, leave our soul
We are the angels, die little sorrow, leave our heart
We are the devils, we live in heaven and we live in hell
Recognize the brightest star in the nightfall
Find us again in the oldest of all murals
Read about us in the first story
Feel the miracle what is meant by being free
You and me as one
We are the angels, are the devils
Live in heaven and hell
The lyrics to Sleeping Gods' "Together As One" suggest that humanity is both good and bad, existing in both heaven and hell. The first two lines of the song reveal that the singer believes in reincarnation and that humanity is capable of achieving great things through perseverance. The next two lines portray humanity as a force of nature, constantly reborn like the rising sun.
The chorus further explores humanity's duality by referring to humans as both angels and devils, heaven-dwellers and hell-dwellers. This suggests that there is no clear line between good and evil, and that the two opposing forces are often intertwined. The final line of the chorus ("You and me as one") implies that even with this duality, humans are united in our experiences of both good and evil.
The final verse encourages listeners to seek out their own inner divinity, whether it be through finding a bright star in a dark sky, discovering ancient art or literature, or simply connecting with the idea of personal freedom. Overall, the song seems to be a call to accept and embrace all aspects of the human experience, both light and dark.
