Like the previous album, Primary Fear was released in Japan by Avalon/Marquee with the addition of some bonus tracks. In 2006 the new release of Arachnes, 5th studio-album, IN PRAISE OF SCIENCE, already described by Caruso brothers as another big step forward in order to combine hard rock and progressive edges with symphonic atmospheres.
Primary Fear
Arachnes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A white hand in my soul
Black ocean, hate and love
And an old fear in my mind
But I must go on
And I need a new star
I need to feel all the strength
Of the history, tonight
Without a dear friend
Without a dream
I'm like a warrior
A warrior without sword
Primary fear, in mind
And on all the skin
I'm feeling all that, now
The primary fear
But I know my dark side
And I know the pain
And the shadow of my madness
Is a friend with a scorner smile
The song "Primary Fear" by Arachnes describes the emotional turmoil and fear that the singer is facing within themselves. The lyrics portray the vulnerability and fragility of a person's emotions, particularly that of a child. The opening line of the song "The eyes of a child" symbolize the innocence and purity of a child's thoughts and emotions. It's almost like the singer is trying to hold on to that childlike innocence in order to fight against the darkness and fear that they are experiencing.
The white hand symbolizes a guiding force that is trying to help the singer overcome their fears and move forward. The "black ocean, hate and love" signify the depth of emotions that the singer is going through - while hate and love are extreme emotions, the singer is experiencing them both equally. The old fear in the mind is an indication that the singer has been struggling with their fear for a long time, and it still haunts them.
The singer then talks about the need for a new star, which could be interpreted as a new hope or source of inspiration that would help the singer overcome their emotional turmoil. However, the singer also acknowledges that they feel like a warrior without a sword - they are vulnerable and unprepared. The primary fear that is weighing on their mind and skin is almost overwhelming, and yet the singer has a sense of acceptance as they know their own dark side and have come to terms with their pain.
