Through The Unknown
Agonize The Serpent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With an aching sorrow
A buried past awakened by youth
The light from the lantern
Lights the path
Through the unknown
At the end of the cavern
Crucified, awaiting demise
It's over, as it breaks you down, as it all fades away
Hate fills my heart and I can't control it
I've come so far, to far to repent
This struggle of mine
Makes my mind; tremble
The voice inside my head keeps telling me to fade
Telling me to fade
The light from the lantern, lights the path through the unknown
At the end of the cavern, crucified, awaiting demise
It feels like everything is gone and you know it tears you apart
It's over, as it breaks you down, as it all fades away
It feels like everything is gone and you know it tears you apart
It's over, as it breaks you down, as it all fades away
In "Through the Unknown," Agonize The Serpent speaks to a feeling of being left out in the cold, disconnected from the world, and weighed down by the heavy burden of a past that has recently been brought to light. However, the singer is not without hope. Guided by the light of a lantern, they make their way through a dark and unfamiliar cavern towards an uncertain fate. Their journey is filled with struggle and loneliness, as they battle with their own inner demons and the fear of what lies ahead. Despite this, they refuse to give up and continue on, even as the world around them seems to crumble and fade away.
The lyrics describe the emotional turmoil that comes with feeling lost and alone, and the struggle to overcome it. They acknowledge the pain of facing one's past, but also emphasize the importance of pushing forward and finding one's way through the unknown. The sense of darkness and foreboding in the lyrics is heightened by the repeating refrain of "it feels like everything is gone and you know it tears you apart," which serves to underscore the feeling of hopelessness and isolation.
