This is not our life
Every day I die
This is not my life
I'll be the one last breath before this death
I’ll be the final glimpse of hope when there’s none left
And if I shame your face, degrade your faith
I’ll be the first to hide behind disgrace
Blood-loss- on account of my failing aim
Treason- at the root of my shameful name
I found my way to fall
I never meant to break your heart
Breathing in this pain (rejecting all I am)
I hear you cry again (is this my final stand?)
Before I go (before I lose it all)
You should know (I hate myself for hurting you)
I see the burn of the light from within my grave
I feel the pain of contradiction despite decay
And if the shadow of doubt will betray this gain
Then put an end to me now while the hope remains
Blood-loss- on account of my failing aim
Treason- at the root of my shameful name

Demon Hunter, my adorable from heart! I still feel a little bit sad because at the beginning of the year, when it would be their concert (which I've bought the tickets 6 months earlier), they had to cancel/postpone. But still it doesn't take my happiness from their sound and lyrics, and yet to come two new albums in March 2019!
This are some lyrics that may sound a little bit weird in a first moment. With a second reading, it can still seem confusing, but we notice it's talking about the human being that knows it's flaw and lives committing mistakes. The same mistakes! Each day we're remembered that we're not perfect . Nobody is. Even the "good" people have something to hide which, in some moment of their lives, did something wrong.
It isn't bad to mess up and admit. It is bad to mess up and never admit that you did it. We even hear the jargon (at least in Brazil) "making a mistake is human, but continuing on it is stupidity". It isn't easy, even more when it gives you a momentary pleasure. Though, even momentary, after a while brings bitterness to heart makes us feel conscience-stricken.
'everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence. But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.'
Romans 3:23-24
Life isn't ours (as we can see explained on the first verses of the song). Life is God's, and through Him we were justified and forgiven of our sins. Although this doesn't make us freedom to repeat the mistakes (as we can see in the parts "before I go, you should know", "I hate myself for hurting you"). End this Summer of Darkness in your life. Fight against your mistakes. Deliver your life to God, He who truly has life control, even though it isn't comprehensible to us, wandering mortals.
