Conquest
Tapes Œn Tapes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A Million Miles
Of common sense
Can't hide the reader
Can't fill the trench
And what you hide
Is what I sold
And when you're next to me
The feeling's cold
Don't tread lightly

In the book
At the age of stills
You make congress, Congress
Up in the mount
On the sea of chills
You went tireless, tireless
I will walk alone

Take Toll Take Time
And turn your face
Dismount your wall
Disband your state
The tides of thought
Are blowing in the wind
We'll stretch our seed
To the beaches of the fins
The path is clear
We'll keep clear on the side
And make our beds
In the beds of others
Don't talk lightly

In the book
At the age of stills
You make congress, congress
Up in the mount
At the sea of chills
You went tireless, Tireless
I will walk alone
Through miles and miles of bones

When you touch me I'm alone
When you tease me I'm alone
In the battle of the bones
In the battle of the bones
I'll be Up coming on
I'll be up and holding strong
We'll be holding up for long
We'll be holding up for long
You'll be hiding from our deeds
On the whole and on your knees
You will hide your women
Hide your women
Hide your women

In the book
At the age of stills
You make congress, congress
Up in the mount
At the sea of chills
You went tireless, tireless
You've been running in for the kill
Look down to the south and on to the fields
I've been a rider
I've been a shill
For conquest, conquest
I will walk alone
Through miles and miles of bones

We'll up our highness




Off our shyness
Bring it to your home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tapes Œn Tapes's song Conquest are poetic and open to interpretation. The overall message seems to be one of individuality and determination. The idea of "A Million Miles of common sense" implies that sometimes common knowledge or accepted beliefs cannot guide us through life. The lines "Can't hide the reader/Can't fill the trench" suggest a difficulty in concealing one's true intentions or covering up a past mistake. The phrase "what you hide/Is what I sold" implies a certain level of deceit and the idea of selling out for personal gain. However, the lines "And when you're next to me/The feeling's cold" suggest a disconnect between individuals despite a shared history or goals.


The imagery throughout the song is vivid and striking. The lines "On the sea of chills/You went tireless, tireless" conjure up images of an endless, frozen expanse. The reference to "the book/At the age of stills" hints at a historical work or perhaps a record of someone's life. The repeated refrain of "I will walk alone/Through miles and miles of bones" speaks to the idea of personal strength and resilience. The references to conquest and battle suggest a struggle to overcome obstacles and achieve victory.


Overall, Conquest is a song that encourages individuals to embrace their unique path and push forward despite any obstacles. The vivid imagery and poetic language make for an engaging and thought-provoking experience.


Line by Line Meaning

A Million Miles Of common sense Can't hide the reader Can't fill the trench And what you hide Is what I sold And when you're next to me The feeling's cold
No matter how far we've come or how rational we try to be, we cannot escape our true nature, and the feelings that arise when we're together reveal just how little we truly understand ourselves.


Don't tread lightly
We must take bold steps and act with conviction, as nothing worth doing can be accomplished without facing our fears head-on.


In the book At the age of stills You make congress, Congress Up in the mount On the sea of chills You went tireless, tireless I will walk alone
In this world of shifting alliances and political machinations, one must be bold and tireless in their pursuit of power and success, as walking alone is often the only way to truly succeed.


Take Toll Take Time And turn your face Dismount your wall Disband your state The tides of thought Are blowing in the wind We'll stretch our seed To the beaches of the fins The path is clear We'll keep clear on the side And make our beds In the beds of others Don't talk lightly
To achieve lasting success, we must be willing to sacrifice our own beliefs and ideologies, as the winds of change are always blowing and we must adapt to survive. We must be cautious in our speech and actions, always mindful of those around us and the impact our choices may have on others.


When you touch me I'm alone When you tease me I'm alone In the battle of the bones In the battle of the bones I'll be Up coming on I'll be up and holding strong We'll be holding up for long We'll be holding up for long You'll be hiding from our deeds On the whole and on your knees You will hide your women Hide your women Hide your women
Even in the midst of intimate or vulnerable moments, we can still feel isolated and alone. But with perseverance and strength, we can overcome any obstacle and endure the trials that come our way. Those who stand in our way or try to undermine our efforts will ultimately hide in fear, unable to stop us from achieving greatness.


You've been running in for the kill Look down to the south and on to the fields I've been a rider I've been a shill For conquest, conquest I will walk alone Through miles and miles of bones
Those who seek to dominate and conquer will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even if it means leaving others behind or trampling upon their rights and dignity. But those who are truly committed to their cause will walk alone, through the toughest of challenges, to secure their place in history and make their conquest complete.


We'll up our highness Off our shyness Bring it to your home
By reaching new heights and overcoming our fears, we can bring our message of hope and inspiration to others, spreading the light of our success and illuminating the way to a brighter future for all.
