Consume all the obscene
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone
A rebirth, for you to find
Freedom is to be able to go in any direction
So take the uncertain path
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And donât lie to yourself. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/in_flames/transparent.html ]
Secrets left above the grave
(Itâs not for one to keep)
Youâre all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
(See what became of their mistake)
You know you lost when you feel transparent
Be at one with the wind (ever changing)
Even if itâs a struggle
Make this your priority
Open all your senses to new impressions
Act like all that was has vanished
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And donât lie to yourself.
Secrets left above the grave
(Itâs not for one to keep)
Youâre all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
(See what became of their mistake)
You know you lost when you feel transparent
The song is about how one person shouldn't be pushing him away from society cause he'll die alone, "secrets above the grave" things people will never know about this indiviual. It's telling you to be yourself and just go with life no matter how hard it is because if you don't try you'll end up lonely and well "transparent" no body will care. So that's pretty much the idea.
