Overcome
Sylvan Awe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The blood lies inert
With no rivers to flow
Like a feather to wind
The spirit misguided - forgotten
No ties to trace
No vertebrae to stand
Without roots, roots to grow upon
Just feeble ideals in a modern sphere
The collective degeneration of man
Just feeble ideals in a modern sphere
The collective degeneration of man
The last
Anti-natural morality
Born against the instincts
Of natural life
Herd morality, as it bands together
The danger of dangers
Total immersion in the comfort mass
Destroy mediocrity
And march upon the herd
The fall of the last man
Transcend and overcome
Banish envy, resentment
Explore, the essence in suffering
Solidarity, devotion to thyself
Determined, with vigour
Aspire, elevate, transcend, overcome
The Overman
The song "Overcome" by Sylvan Awe is an introspective portrayal of the human condition, particularly the modern era's collective degeneration of man. The first verse sets the tone of the song, where the vultures inherit the bones, and the blood lies inert, signifying how lifeless and hopeless things have become. There are no rivers to flow, and the spirit is misguided and forgotten, lacking direction and purpose. The second verse continues this theme, where there are no ties to trace, no vertebrae to stand, and no wisdom to recall, without roots to grow upon. It portrays the current state of humankind, where people have become disconnected from their traditions, culture, and natural environment, causing them to lose their sense of identity, belonging, and morality.
The chorus highlights the anti-natural morality born against the instincts of natural life. It is the herd mentality that band together and creates danger of dangers - total immersion in the comfort mass. It calls for the destruction of mediocrity and marching upon the herd, preparing for the fall of the last man. The song's final verse is a call for transcendence and overcoming. Banishing envy, resentment, exploring the essence of suffering, and devoting oneself to solidarity with oneself, being determined, aspiring, elevating, and overcoming, striving to become the Overman.
