- The Theft LyricsHe bends and he breaks, if you kiss it will take away
His passion, his pain, his brain
He exhales a thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Took the fire inside, one too many times
His burning's over and out now, he fails
Up against the raging tides, no more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see I see it in his eyes
One more time, one more time
I don't dare to test the waters
My hands feel like they're rusting away
So obvious, so numb, I can leave before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me
Decisions then made obvious
And while they're in tune
Where I started, I'll stay there
When I'm finished, I'll wither away
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
His passion, his pain, his brain
He exhales a thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Took the fire inside, one too many times
His burning's over and out now, he fails
Up against the raging tides, no more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see I see it in his eyes
I don't dare to test the waters
My hands feel like they're rusting away
So obvious, so numb, I can leave before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me
Decisions then made obvious
And while they're in tune
Where I started, I'll stay there
When I'm finished, I'll wither away
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them, burn to coals
As they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, leave him crushed)
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, in 'The Theft', Atreyu takes a deep plunge into the abyss of themes related to emotional and spiritual exhaustion, using metaphors like 'black flowers' turning into 'butterflies' as an allegory to represent brief moments of beauty amidst pain. The music describes an unyielding battle with overpowering forces, which eventually results in numbness and crushing defeat. The theft lyrics are mainly about angst, despair, reflection, heartbreak, and anger. Along with that, the song also highlights the decadence of emotion and body, loss of identity, hopelessness and fight, acceptance of destiny and giving up, and unresolved matters. The lyrics are filled with hard-hitting themes of emotional and psychological battles, illustrations of being crushed and burnt, and hints at a soul being lost and numbness that could easily disturb children. The vocabulary and pictures created are powerful enough to make it a PG-13 rated movie.
