Feasting on Vultures (feat. Kellin Quinn & Sleeping With Sirens)

“Feasting on Vultures” by Seventh Day Slumber, featuring Kellin Quinn and Sleeping With Sirens, is a powerful anthem of resilience and defiance. The song opens with the imagery of clawing one's way out of a pit, symbolizing a struggle to overcome adversity. The vultures circling above represent those who prey on the weak, waiting for a moment of vulnerability. However, the protagonist refuses to be seen as prey, instead choosing to starve these metaphorical vultures by standing strong and not succumbing to despair.

The lyrics delve into the theme of betrayal, with lines like “Pulling knives from the middle of my back again” and “Selling off your morals for the next big thing.” These lines suggest a personal experience of being backstabbed and witnessing others compromise their values for personal gain. Despite the pain and betrayal, the song encourages resilience, urging listeners to “stand up strong” and “hold your head up high.” The repeated call to “wipe your tears, get ready for the fight” serves as a rallying cry to face challenges head-on and not let betrayal break one's spirit.

The chorus, “'Cause we will be feasting on vultures tonight,” flips the script on the predators. Instead of being devoured by the vultures, the protagonist and their allies will turn the tables and feast on them, symbolizing a victory over those who sought to bring them down. The song's message is clear: no matter how many times you are betrayed or how deep the wounds, you have the strength to rise above and reclaim your power. This anthem of empowerment resonates with anyone who has faced adversity and emerged stronger on the other side.
