Spend some time away
Getting ready for the day you're born again
Spend some time alone
Understand that soon you'll run with better men

Alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Alone

No use looking out
It's within that brings that lonely feeling
Understand that when you leave here, you'll be clear
Among the better men

Alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Alone
Alone again
Alone again
Alone again
Alone

    A chamber of reflection is a secluded room in a masonic lodge where candidates who are interested in joining the masons go to reflect before they join. This song is clearly about someone going in the chamber and reflecting on himself. When he leaves the chamber he'll be among the better men, the masons. Weird for Mac to sing about the masonic rituals like this, very creepy stuff if you ask me.

    Translation

    Improved translation:

    Spend some time away Getting ready for the day You're born again

    Spend some time alone Understand that soon you'll run With better men Alone again (x's 4) Alone

    No use looking out It's within, that brings that Lonely feeling

    Understand that When you leave here You'll be clear Among a better man

    Alone again (x's 4) Alone

    Alone again (x's 3) Alone

    To me it seems like a warning to the listener that loneliness doesn't go away with the presence of others. Instead, one should understand that emptiness is something much deeper, and one should look towards his/her inner self to truly understand the feeling (No use looking out It's within that brings that lonely feeling).

    Watch the video and you instantly realize what its about. The Masonic symbol and Masonic G are flashed multiple times at the start.

    This is about Mac selling out to be part of the club. Hes joining the secret society the freemasons to make it big in the industry. They literally put this stuff right in our faces.

    My Interpretation

    for me he only wanted to talk about those times we left people because we feel empty, then we move away, we are left alone, we think and we think that by staying alone the way is open to new friends, new people who can show us something happy and happy, so the reflection chamber could be our own room that after we were alone in it we went out and met new people, but the criticism is not to look for happiness in them because you can only be happy inside with yourself and if you can not find you will feel alone again, no matter whether you have new companies or not.

    My Interpretation

    This gorgeous song is about the deep internal loneliness we can experience as we are only with ourselves our whole life. No matter the life you live, how large or small, you will always only truly have yourself to guide you. This song reinforces the inevitable reminder that you are always going to end up alone with yourself through life.

    Song Meaning

    In greek mythology, 'chamber' represents 'excessively stretched ballsack', and 'reflection' represents vanity. This song is a cautionary tale that attempts to warn the listener that stretching one's ballsack tissue past a certain length will have diminishing returns, and in fact Reflect one's ego back filling the void inside the ballsack, ultimately destroying it.

So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
