exile
Violent Eve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
INSIDE THE CELL LIE THE WASTED LIVES
PRAYERS AT A FUNERAL THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE IN LIFE
WORDS DON'T DEFINE HOW MUCH IT HURTS
WHEN NIGHT COMES THE WOLVES BEGIN TO HOWL
TO HOWL NON STOP
ACROSS THE FOG YOUR SOUL EXPIRES
OLD WISHES, PRECAST FEELINGS, THE ENDLESS FIGHT
THE HOPE IS GONE
I'VE SEEN THE OLD MAN
I'VE SMELT HIS FEAR BY MY SIDE
I'VE HEARD THAT HORROR TALES OF PAIN
ABOUT THE ATROCITY BY MYSELF
MEAN THE LAMBS CRYING THROUGH YOUR DREAMS
HATE
THIS WORLD INFECTED
BORN TO BE DEAD IN LIFE
A WORLD OF RAGE
WAIT FOR ME
TOGETHER WE WILL DIE
YOUR HUMAN RAGE
JUST A MIRAGE
WAKE UP AND PRAY
I'M HERE TO STAY
OLD WISHES, PRECAST FEELINGS, THE ENDLESS FIGHT
THE HOPE IS GONE
I'VE SEEN THE OLD MAN
I'VE SMELT HIS FEAR BY MY SIDE
I'VE HEARD THAT HORROR TALES OF PAIN
ABOUT THE ATROCITY BY MYSELF
MEAN THE LAMBS CRYING THROUGH YOUR DREAMS
HATE
THIS WORLD INFECTED
BORN TO BE DEAD IN LIFE
A WORLD OF RAGE
WAIT FOR ME
TOGETHER WE WILL DIE
"Exile" by Violent Eve is a song that appears to call for a deeper reflection on the state of humanity. The lyrics describe a newborn who is feared by all people. The child represents the fear that we sometimes experience as we are born into an uncertain and ever-changing world. In the song, the "tales of the hunt" refer to our day to day struggles as we try to survive in a world that is often violent and chaotic.
The song then discusses the idea that many people are imprisoned by their own fears and the wasted lives that result from them. The "prayers at a funeral that never took place in life" represents the pain and suffering that people experience throughout their lives. The words in the song try to make sense of the hurt, but as they say "words don't define how much it hurts". The final verses of the song describe a world filled with hate and rage. The singer of the song is calling out for the hope they lost and the promise of death.
Overall, "Exile" is a dark and powerful song that reflects on the fear, pain, and rage that are part of the human condition. The lyrics are written in a way that is open to interpretation, allowing the listener to find their own meaning within the words.
