Why i think the lyrics of Final resistance don't live up to other DT lyrics
Disclaimer: Don't expect anything really deep or brilliant. I'd have to have more time for that, and i don't really have as much time as it looks like.
The first few verses are alright. They give the setting and are DT enough for me:
"Disaffected, left to internal struggle
Let ring with the cries of disaccord
They told of outposts firm as trees
Whispers laid no basis
For the plunge to the chasm depths
Seen none, nor felt the safety
Perimeter alarm"
But "i see the bearings of disaster" is just too straightforward, too Character, too simple. It just fails to deliver. I listen to that and think "ah... ok, what else?".
Then the rest of the song appears to me as an overdone attempt at using metaphors to say something more or less meaningful:
"To make a chemical stand
A final front to the days ahead
In attempt to tame
Their mineral estrangement
Smothered by the numeral
That haunts each waking day"
And it just doesn't speak to me. At the end of it i can't stop to think and say "this song is about this or that". I just see a bunch of metaphors with a guitar and drums.
I hope you're happy, Zack.
I'm liking "wonders" now, but more for the timing rather than the content
