From Within
Agonize The Serpent Lyrics

The lyrics of "From Within" by Agonize The Serpent are imbued with themes of introspection and catharsis. The opening lines "From silence to heartbeats, we scream from within" suggest the eruption of repressed emotions that have been building up inside the singer. In the lines "If I tell you my secrets, will you tell me your sins," the singer is reaching out for a mutual sharing of confidences and the acknowledgement of human fallibility. The lines "We are the wolves among the broken dreams, Lost in the nightfall, From ashes to flames we're all that remains, It's time to break the silence" foregrounds the sense of a shared experience of pain and struggle. The image of wolves here suggests a primal and ferocious spirit that has not quite been tamed by the constraints of society.

The lines "So far from the actual knife, So close to the never, Like a demon that lurks in the night, Like a ghost inside" evoke the sense of being haunted by the spectres of our own fears and insecurities. The reference to "false gods" and "deceived by the truth" speaks of disillusionment and the need to challenge established beliefs that do not serve us anymore. The chorus "The threat that we cannot prevent, But this is not the end" sums up the overarching themes of the song: the inevitability of challenges and hardships in life, but also the affirming message that we can rise up to meet these challenges and persevere. "From Within" is a powerful call to action, reminding us that we are capable of conquering our inner demons and that our struggles do not define us.
