Held down, strangled and abused
Cut down to half a member
Left with his hands tied
Everything points in the wrong direction
All the joy disappeared
The negative has penetrated
Once he was in control
What's left? The faintest laughter
We're out of focus
We've lost control
I blame our ego
And you all call me names [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/in_flames/dark_signs.html ]
You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You gotta reach further
For what life shall provide
Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye, scorching fire
The whole meaning becomes undone
We're out of focus
We've lost control
I blame our ego
And you all call me names
You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You gotta reach further
For what life shall provide
This song has power. It is pretty much stating that no matter how f-uped live may be at times. Life provides you the necessitys to survive. No matter what others say you are the only one that can do a thing about it. Others will do what they can to put you down, yet you are the only one that can beat dark signs in life.
