Vigil Of War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It Feels I′m Dying
Anemic Lighting Fills The Room
But I Am Fighting Now
All The Voices, All The Sounds
I'm Hollow
Empty Souls & Plastic Smiles
Lock Inside White Walls
I'm Screaming Out
Losing Faith More & More Each Day
Locked Inside White Walls
Our Future Fades In A World So Grey
A World Of Self Serving Has Grown
From Sweet To Sour
They Wanna Suck & Drain Our Souls
To Fuel Their Power Now
All The Blamin', All The Lies They′re Telling
Hide Behind Their Plastic Smiles
I Won′t Back Down
Lock Inside White Walls
I'm Screaming Out
Losing Faith More & More Each Day
Locked Inside White Walls
Our Future Fades In A World So Grey
Lock Inside White Walls
I′m Screaming Out
Losing Faith More & More Each Day
Locked Inside White Walls
Our Future Fades In A World So Grey
The lyrics to Vigil Of War's "White Walls" depict a sense of isolation, frustration, and rebellion against the oppressive forces that surround the singer. The opening lines, "The Blood In My Veins Running Cold, It Feels I'm Dying," suggest a feeling of emptiness and despair, as if the singer is struggling with a sense of lifelessness or numbness. The mention of "Anemic Lighting Fills The Room" further emphasizes this bleak atmosphere.
However, despite these feelings of despair, the singer asserts their determination to fight back: "But I Am Fighting Now." This suggests a refusal to succumb to the negativity and a determination to rise above the challenges faced. The following lines paint a picture of a world filled with hollow individuals hiding their true selves behind "Empty Souls & Plastic Smiles." It speaks to the idea of a superficial society where people are not genuine and only concerned with their own interests.
The repeated phrase "Lock Inside White Walls" symbolizes being trapped within the confines of a suffocating environment. It represents the feeling of being restricted, both physically and mentally. The singer expresses a need to break free from these constraints and regain their sense of identity and purpose. The line "Our Future Fades In A World So Grey" expresses a sense of hopelessness and disillusionment with the world around them.
