OWLS AND SNAKES
BatAAr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty eyes are taking me back
What sense will be the first to know?
Between the Devil and the Deep Sea
You may glitter, but you are fool′s gold
An avalanche takes me down
The most inglorious thing to do is to fall astray
I try to keep the wolf from my door
Never reach a corner,
I only bring disorder
My sense of immunity
Is my failing ability
Forever above the moon
Reaching the heavens together
My dying breath stopped by your friction
Don't let this dream end
Now I witness these silhouettes
And I know that I′m not alone
I'M NOT ALONE
Forever above the moon
Reaching the heavens together
My dying breath stopped by your friction
Don't let this dream end
The lyrics of BatAAr's song "Owls and Snakes" convey a sense of existential angst and longing for connection. The opening line, "My symptom is no longer my faith," suggests a loss of belief or purpose, while the following line, "Empty eyes are taking me back," could be interpreted as a feeling of emptiness or disconnection from others. The question "What sense will be the first to know?" indicates a sense of confusion or uncertainty about life's meaning. The phrase "Between the Devil and the Deep Sea" further emphasizes the sense of being caught in a difficult or dangerous situation.
The second verse depicts a sense of being overwhelmed and out of control, represented by an avalanche that takes the singer further and further down. The line "The most inglorious thing to do is to fall astray" suggests a desire to stay on the right path, but an inability to do so. The singer tries to "keep the wolf from [their] door" - an expression meaning to fend off poverty or adversity - but this struggle only brings disorder. The final lines of the verse convey a sense of vulnerability and weakness, with the singer admitting that their "sense of immunity is [their] failing ability."
The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, with the singer dreaming of "reaching the heavens together" and fearing that this dream will end. The repeated refrain "Forever above the moon" suggests a sense of transcendence or escape from the troubles of the world. In the final lines, the singer expresses a sense of solidarity with others: "Now I witness these silhouettes / And I know that I'm not alone / I'M NOT ALONE."

To be fair, these guys have definitely matured a lot as a band. I mean, you can still see and hear their musical influence but it's become a bit more subtle. I really like where this is going, keep it up :)
