The song "For All" by Ember Falls explores themes of rebellion, individuality, and the search for truth amidst a controlling and oppressive society. The lyrics depict a world where individuals are bound by their blood and heritage, represented by the line "Gotta sever the wires of this hereditary bomb." The song suggests breaking free from the confines of one's lineage and embracing one's true self. The imagery of burning crosses and referencing God and the soul adds a religious undertone to the song, suggesting a rebellion against the oppressive forces of organized religion and societal norms. The line "The obstacle will feign a stepping stone, a star is always brightest before the fall" suggests that breaking free from these constraints will indeed be difficult, but ultimately rewarding. The song also questions the role of authority figures, represented by the savior, pharaoh, and prophet. It challenges their ability to lead and control individuals, implying that they may exploit their power for personal gain. The line "Savior, pharaoh, prophet, and God will still sell your soul and ask for gratitude in kind" indicates the hypocrisy and manipulation prevalent in these figures of authority. Overall, "For All" encourages individuals to rise up against societal expectations, embrace their true selves, and speak up against the blindness and ignorance in the world. It calls for unity and a collective awakening to challenge and overcome oppressive systems. The repeated chorus of "For all, for all, for all" emphasizes the need for this change and for everyone to find their voice and shine their light.
