Hell to the Unknown
Cronos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch your back, watch your sides, you think you're safe running with the tide
Take a step, take a chance, now the storm's got you in a trance
Inside you feel it, eyes on your back
Won't leave you alone, that's a fact
From hell to the unknown, you're looking out for your own
Work it out, find your way, you got it right now it's gotta stay
Pushing in, pulling out, now you know what it's all about
Inside you feel it, wrapped around your skin
Won't leave you alone, it won't give in
From hell to the unknown, you're looking out for your own
From hell to the unknown, watching out for your mortal soul
Keep it safe, hold on tight, you know you can't go without a fight
Do your thing, fuck the rest, take no room for the second best
Inside you feel it, eyes on your back
Won't leave you alone, until the attack
From hell to the unknown, you're looking out for your own
From hell to the unknown, watching out for your mortal soul
The lyrics of "Hell to the Unknown" by Cronos are a warning to the listener to be aware of the dangers that lurk in the world around them. The first stanza suggests that danger will come from unexpected places and at unexpected times; one should always be watchful because danger can come in any form. The second stanza, however, suggests that it is possible to prepare for danger and that one can find a way to navigate through it. It is important to stay alert and be prepared for anything that could happen.
The chorus repeats the phrase "From hell to the unknown," implying that danger can come from anywhere and that one must always be vigilant. It is also a reminder that life is a journey into the unknown, and one must be prepared for whatever challenges may come along the way. The final stanza is a call to action; the listener is urged to hold on tight, fight for what they believe and never settle for second best.
Overall, the message of the song seems to be that life is unpredictable and dangerous, but it is also rewarding and full of opportunities. One must remain alert and resilient to survive, and never give up in the face of danger and adversity.
