Chronophobia
Agonize The Serpent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
is this what you wanted
follow the trail
to my hollow grave
all the steps that i've taken
was it all for me
I spend my days thinking
will i get old
with kids of my own
or Will i die alone
Nothing can change what You've done in the past
only the strong Will prevail
In these dying days
Time is passing by me silently
save me from this crushing
Chronophobia
It got me paralyzed
cant escape all the voices
controlling my mind
and what will set me free
this tragedy feels like its meant to be
Lost in myself
along with my demons
telling me to drift away
as the ship starts to sink
i drown myself to sleep
all the steps that I've taken
was it all for me?
Is this what you wanted
follow the trail
to my hollow grave
Nothing can change what You've done in the past
only the strong Will prevail In these dying days
i spoke to the ghost in the Mirror
as i stand ablaze
Time is passing by me Silently
save me from this crushing
Chronophobia
In "Chronophobia," Agonize The Serpent sings about feeling trapped by time, plagued by a fear of the future, and haunted by their past decisions. The lyrics begin with a self-reflective moment, questioning if the singer's actions have led them to their own "hollow grave." They ask if all the steps they've taken have only benefitted themselves, highlighting a sense of selfishness that creeps onto the theme of regret that runs throughout the song.
As the lyrics progress, the singer becomes increasingly preoccupied with the future, questioning whether they will ever attain their goals or be alone. They express a sense of hopelessness, feeling as though their thoughts and emotions are out of their control. The line "nothing can change what You've done in the past" emphasizes the weight of their mistakes and the sense that they are forever tethered to them.
The song reaches its climax with the singer reaching a breaking point, feeling overwhelmed by their internal struggle. They feel paralyzed by the fear of the future (chronophobia). The lyrics then take a turn towards acceptance, as they realize that only the strong can survive in these "dying days." The final lines show a sense of conflict between giving up and pushing forward, as they speak to the "ghost in the mirror" while "standing ablaze."
