We Were Once Human

My lyrics tell the story of ordinary people surviving the end of the world while refusing to lose their humanity. It feels heavily inspired by the survival-horror world of Once Human, but the deeper message goes beyond monsters and Stardust. Main Themes 1. Survival in a broken world The world has collapsed: The sky turns black. Cities fall. Rivers become poisoned. Monsters and Deviants roam the land. The singer is living through an apocalypse where everything familiar has been destroyed. 2. Losing who you once were Lines like: "I remember who I used to be, Before the Stardust swallowed me" show someone mourning their old life. They remember the person they were before the disaster changed everything. 3. Failure, pain, and perseverance A major theme is that survival isn't heroic or glorious. The singer: Loses battles. Watches shelters burn. Sees friends die. Watches dreams fall apart. Yet they keep going anyway. The message is: Strength isn't never falling. Strength is getting back up after every fall. 4. Humanity versus corruption The monsters represent more than physical threats. They symbolize: Fear Despair Corruption The loss of one's humanity The song asks what remains when everything is taken away. Its answer is: Humanity survives through compassion, memory, hope, and the refusal to surrender. 5. Remembering the fallen The ending shifts from action to reflection. The survivors don't remember: Their victories Their achievements Instead they remember: Lost friends Lost homes Lost dreams This gives the song a tragic, emotional weight. The Core Message The heart of the song is in these ideas: We were never chosen. We were never destined to save the world. We were simply the ones who refused to die." The song isn't about superheroes saving the world. It's about ordinary people enduring unimaginable suffering and continuing forward despite fear, grief, and loss. Overall Meaning "We Were Once Human" is a dark cinematic survival anthem about living through the end of civilization, losing everything, carrying scars from every battle, and discovering that true humanity isn't perfection or victory—it's the decision to keep fighting, keep hoping, and keep caring even when the world has already fallen apart. The final line, "We were Once Human... And until our final heartbeat... We remained human." is the emotional conclusion of the entire song: the world changed, the survivors changed, but they never allowed the darkness to take away who they were inside. 🌑 WE WERE ONCE HUMAN 🌑 A dark cinematic survival anthem inspired by a world consumed by chaos, monsters, Stardust, and the fight to stay alive when everything else has fallen apart.
