Intent
Anomy Lyrics

In the lyrics of Anomy's song Intent, the singer portrays the paradox of good intentions. The song acknowledges that intentions can be pure and righteous as points of light that illuminate a dark existence. However, these same intentions can blister the soul and cause despondence. In the paradoxical nature of good intentions, the singer seems to have lost something precious in trying to do something good. The lyrics suggest that good intentions often come with unintended consequences that cause more harm than good. And despite the realization of this fact, the singer still struggles to reclaim what was lost by the ugliness of trust and the bitter consequence of his actions.

Moreover, the song also highlights that the beauty of the singer's past is consumed by the realization that his good intentions are not enough to solve the world's problems. The gravity of knowledge and the scars of battles fought for good intentions are the struggles of the singer's reflection. The lyrics capture the singer's regret for not recognizing the cost of his good intentions sooner. And despite the scars, he persists in trying to reclaim what was lost.
