We Are Aware
Dolvondo
The Haunting Awareness of Consequences
Dolvondo's song "We Are Aware" delves into themes of accountability, retribution, and the inescapable nature of one's actions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of entities that have been wronged and are now fully conscious of their plight and the actions of their oppressor. The repeated phrase, "We are aware," underscores a profound realization and acknowledgment of both their own state and the deeds of the one who wronged them. This awareness is not just passive; it is filled with a sense of impending action and justice.
The song's narrative suggests a scenario where the entities were unable to say goodbye, hinting at an abrupt or unjust end. The lines, "You cannot escape what you left behind," and "You cannot hide from what you’ve made," imply that the consequences of the oppressor's actions are unavoidable. The imagery of the color draining from the face of the oppressor adds a layer of fear and guilt, indicating that the oppressor is now facing the repercussions of their actions.
The lyrics also touch on themes of imprisonment and the desire for freedom. The entities express a strong will to escape and a determination to not be held back by the oppressor's plans. The mention of superstition and submission suggests that the oppressor's control was based on irrational beliefs or fear, which the entities are now ready to overcome. The song culminates in a chilling promise of retribution, with the entities vowing to find the oppressor and exact their revenge, encapsulated in the final line, "And when we find you, you will die."
The haunting and relentless tone of the song, combined with its themes of awareness and retribution, creates a powerful narrative about the inevitability of facing the consequences of one's actions and the unyielding pursuit of justice by those who have been wronged.
