We are the people
Station X (R.I.P.) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Emerged from the shadows
Reincarnated by the walls
Into the blackened meadows
Straight into the darkside falls

All souls on fire
Colored by a bloodred sky
The flames reaching higher
Feel the glimpse of red tonight

The curse of men has become our fate
It brought us here to end our days
Countdown for the walls of time
The age of light will pass away

The storm race against us
A thousands days of misery
All fall in twilight
Burning for eternity

Oh, what an age to reign
Blasting flames in the sky
Waiting for that moment
Journey to the other side

The curse of men has become our fate
It brought us here to end our days
Countdown for the walls of time
The age of light will pass away

There's no essence, no future
You wouldn't know what I have seen
There's no essence, no future
Cursed we are eternally

Fly souls of hatred
Spread your wings across the sky
To the end of the earth
Riding at the speed of light

All end in damage
Mindless voices call your name
Devoted to the darkness
Driven by the force that reigns

Cursed we are to die as men
Beneath the gods of ice and sand
Cursed we are all
The earth man and sky shall fall

There's no essence, no future
You wouldn't know what I have seen




There's no essence, no future
Cursed we are eternally

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Station X (R.I.P.)'s song We are the people are filled with dark and ominous themes. The first few lines of the song sound eerily like a warning, as the singer warns of emerging from the shadows, potentially hinting at a dark force taking over. The imagery of being reincarnated by the walls into the blackened meadows and straight into the darkside falls implies a sense of inevitability and danger. All souls are described as being on fire, colored by a bloodred sky, with the flames reaching higher. This paints a picture of destruction and chaos.


The following stanza seems to suggest that men are to blame for this fate, with the curse of men becoming our fate that brought us here to end our days. The countdown for the walls of time and the age of light passing away suggest that an end is near. The storm racing against us for thousands of days of misery implies that the end is not going to be peaceful or easy. The singer then states their desire to blast flames in the sky, waiting for that moment to journey to the other side.


The final stanza has a sense of inevitability, with no essence or future, and the cursed remaining eternally. The fly souls of hatred spreading their wings across the sky, and mindless voices calling your name, imply that nobody is safe from the impending doom. The end is described as all ending in damage, with the earth, man, and sky falling.


Overall, Station X (R.I.P.)'s We are the people is a song that explores themes of destruction, chaos, and inevitability. The imagery of flames, storms, and dark forces imply that the end is near, and everyone is doomed to suffer.
