My War
Synthphonia Suprema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreadful dreamers"
Silences that make your breath away
Silent screams that rise towards
A God who has forgotten us
"Closed like dogs, you won't get out
You won't get out alive"
My war - Word of the beast
My war - Lie of freedom
Work gives freedom, bodies are chained
"We are about to
Reach perfection for the highest race"
But our memory won't ever die
This dead flesh will never forget
My war - Scream of pain
My war - Word of the beast
My war - Lie of freedom
Is the point of no return
"Dust to dust
Trash to trash
You are dust
And you are ash
You were dust and to dust you will return
You were trash and to trash you will return"
My war - I believe in
My war - I believe in
My war - Just believe in my war...
My war - Scream of pain
My war - Word of the beast
My war - Lie of freedom
The lyrics of Synthphonia Suprema's song "My War" lyrically describe the horrors of war and the impacts of human behavior on society. The first stanza features a tone of hopelessness and despair, with the singer singing that there is nothing waiting out there for them, and that the world is full of dreadful dreamers. They then describe the feeling of experiencing silences so profound that they take your breath away, followed by a grotesque image of silent screams rising towards a God who has forgotten humanity. The next lines then repeat the phrase "closed like dogs, you won't get out alive," which adds to the feeling of hopelessness and being trapped with no escape.
The chorus then brings a shift in tone with its repetition of "my war." The singer screams about the pain and agony they feel during the war. They describe how the war is a word of the beast, indicative of how the war itself is a monstrous entity. The phrase "lie of freedom" suggests that the cause they are fighting for is nothing more than propaganda built on lies, which turned into a war. The second stanza then talks about how humans believe in the concept of a utopia where the highest race is in charge. The singer, however, believes that our memory of the atrocities will never fade away.
The third stanza features the phrase "point of no return," indicating that they are past the point where anything can be done to change the direction of the situation. The next lines are a reminder that in the end, everyone becomes dust and ashes. Finally, the singer repeats the phrase "my war," this time with more intensity and power, reinforcing the feeling of desperation and a need for something to hold onto.
