Radiance
Angels & Agony Lyrics

The lyrics of Angels & Agony's song Radiance portray a sense of embarking on a new journey after leaving everything behind. The first few lines of the song, "It feels like I am leaving shore, Bound for new adventures, Embarking on an endless quest" indicate a departure from a familiar environment in pursuit of something new. The singer acknowledges that leaving everything behind can be scary, stating "I'm leaving land behind, Exiled and afraid." However, they also come to terms with the fact that there is no turning back, and accept this move as part of their journey.

Despite acknowledging the emptiness they feel inside, the singer is not seeking sympathy or pity, as stated in the line "I'm not complaining, I'm not asking for sympathy, For this hole inside my soul, I cannot heal." The last two lines, "It feels like I am awake and dreaming, It seems like I am awake and dreaming" suggest a sense of confusion and disbelief the singer has towards their current situation.

The second stanza of the song suggests a level of frustration and confusion as the singer struggles to apply the lessons they have learned in their new environment. They also acknowledge that they may have forgotten the wisdom they have preached in the past. The line, "these infuriating storms, Are tearing me apart" represents the difficulties the singer faces while trying to adapt to their new situation. The final line, "Nothing left for me to save, Nothing left to salvage" indicates that the singer may feel a sense of hopelessness towards their current situation.
