Eridani
Ascension Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We travel toward the light
Ancient stories return to haunt us
A pillar of fire to guide us through the night
This land we must explore
To find a place to hide
Because we are not alone
In this forsaken place
As they lead us down
To the underground
I sense a trust
Although I cannot see
And as we emerge
Into the light
A sight before my eyes
I can not believe
City of Eridanis
Children of the moon
City of tranquility
Never will I know
The lyrics of Ascension Theory's "Eridani" speak about the journey of a group of people who are searching for a place to hide. They are drawn towards the light like moths, and as they move towards their destination, ancient stories begin to haunt them. The group encounters a pillar of fire that serves as a guide through the darkness of the night, as they explore the land to find a safe haven. However, they soon realize that they are not alone in this place, and there are others who are leading them towards somewhere unknown. The singer senses a trust despite not being able to see anyone.
The group eventually comes across a city called Eridani - a place that takes their breath away as they emerge into the light. They see the city's children, who are known as the Children of the Moon, and the tranquility of the place mesmerizes them. The song is about the journey of exploration, the discovery of a new place, and the wonder that comes with coming across something unexpected. The lyrics hint at a deeper meaning as they elude to how the universe is vast and mysterious, and there is so much that we are yet to discover.
