Cruelty
The Cruxshadows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
we commit indiscretions, and omit our sins from sight,
in a world of intangibles, too many things seem right

No hand to scribe of sinking sickness I have seen,
no face to judge until you've been the monster I have been,
to hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
my hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep.

Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my
immanence
Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my
innocence from me

Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
to hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
my hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep.

Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my
immanence
your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance




your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my
innocence from me

Overall Meaning

The Cruxshadows's "Cruelty" seems to be a reflection of the darker side of human nature, where the hunger for power and control can lead to cruel and selfish actions. The opening lines "Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time, falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind" suggests that time is constantly slipping away and people are too focused on their emotions rather than their actions, leading to a society where those who are blind to the consequences of their actions are the ones seemingly in charge. The lyrics then touch upon the idea of committing indiscretions and hiding sins, indicating that certain things in our world are overlooked or not viewed as wrong.


The second verse delves deeper into the theme of hunger, where the hunger for power or beauty is seen as noble. However, the hunger mentioned here is driven deep with pain and seems to have a darker side that is not easily understood. The chorus repeats the idea that cruelty and consequences cannot eliminate one's relevance, and that selfishness and hatefulness cannot take away one's innocence. In a world where cruelty and selfishness can be seen as a sign of strength or power, the song suggests that there is still innocence and relevance that cannot be taken away.
