Archontes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lie on my past - I know...
Dreaming
My hope makes me so strong
Looking through my life forever
Lost in reality again
Winds of Dust
Leave me be, my Guarding Angel
Or reality'll come back
Understand my true life's
...In the Dark
Calling
Syringe thrown me from the skies
Freedom
My daydreams transcend your lies
Looking through my life forever
Lost in reality again
Winds of Dust
Blow away all souls
Leave me be, my Guarding Angel
Or reality'll come back
I close my eyes
And I welcome the dawn
It is my last chance to escape - I know...
But don't take it away from me
Heal my body and break my soul
Gods Of The White Walls
I'm far away - here my journey's over
The lyrics to Archontes's song "... in the Dark" are dark and introspective, exploring the themes of hope, loss, and escape.

The bridge brings a glimmer of hope, with the singer closing their eyes and being open to welcoming the dawn, even if it means it's their last chance to escape reality.
