We Are Gods

Highlord's song 'We Are Gods' delves into themes of self-realization, existential struggle, and the quest for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe. The lyrics open with a sense of foreboding, as the prophecy and the tears shed by the narrator suggest a deep emotional turmoil. The 'pillars of fate' falling down symbolize the collapse of previously held beliefs or structures, prompting a search for new meaning and purpose.

The chorus, with its plea for help to see a reason to believe and a place for 'you and me,' underscores a universal human desire for connection and understanding. The repeated loss of faith 'day by day' reflects a growing disillusionment with the world and its leaders, referred to as 'Lords of the world.' This disillusionment drives the narrator and others to cross a 'mysterious line,' a metaphor for breaking away from conventional beliefs and embarking on a journey of self-discovery.

The song's declaration that 'the gift of creation makes us divine' speaks to the inherent power and potential within each individual. By embracing this divinity, the narrator asserts that they will not return to their former state of ignorance or subservience. The imagery of growing stronger and going insane suggests a transformative process that is both empowering and challenging. Ultimately, the song concludes with the assertion that 'we are the gods of nonentity,' highlighting the paradox of finding divinity and purpose in a world that may seem meaningless.
