Dååth (pronounced /ˈdɑːθ/) is a Hebrew word meaning "knowledge", referring to a knowledge not regularly attained by the masses, according to keyboardist and conceptualist Michael Kameron: "On a mental level, Dååth acts as a doorway between instinct and intellect, and in our opinion the struggle between those two aspects of mind is what causes most of the ills in this world." Despite its religious meaning, the name does not imply the religious beliefs of the band.

Dååth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes in a stream float away
Treetops, dead hornets and waste
Eyes in a stream float away
Treetops, dead hornets and waste
A simple kind of ignorance
Falters to the side, exuberance to
Something there silent
A coin or snake shell
Unraveling storm from the deep
Skin drops in oceans
My heart is not open
A dying Sun sinks to the deep
(Lies)
The skin drops into the sea
And ripples eternally
(Lies)
A dying fetus will fall from the trees it never had a chance to breathe
So silent slipping away
Decaying violent end of the day
Would be crimson floating grave
I'm tranfer fading far away
The lyrics to Daath's song Slow appear to deal with themes of decay, death and detachment. The repetition of the line "I'm not going to die" suggests a struggle against the inevitability of mortality, while the subsequent imagery of eyes floating in a stream, treetops, dead hornets and waste reinforces a sense of decay and deterioration. The singer seems to be experiencing a sense of disconnection, with the line "Find your mind lost her far behind" suggesting a dissociation from their own thoughts and feelings.
There is also a dark undercurrent running through the lyrics, with lines such as "A dying Sun sinks to the deep" and "A dying fetus will fall from the trees it never had a chance to breathe" painting a bleak picture of mortality and the fragility of life. The final line, "I'm tranfer fading far away", could be interpreted as a surrender to the relentless march of time or a yearning for release from the burdens of existence.
Overall, the lyrics to Slow are open to a range of interpretations, but there is an undeniable sense of melancholy and despair running through them, with the imagery of decay and death creating a sense of unease and foreboding.

Just: Wow. I cried like a little baby watching this. Extremely relatable & confronting. So much so that I plan on getting this as a tattoo, just to have that constant reminder.
I've been in this inaction phase for such a long time now, that it's hard to remember the last time I was truely happy with myself or my life. Wanting to change so badly every single day, but not being able to push myself over that edge (despite many poor attempts along the way). I don't know why it never truely clicked for me, to REALLY make that change. A lack of purpose in life, perhaps. Maybe some unresolved emotional trauma from the past.
But just recently something did click. When my (ex)girlfriend of almost 8 years ended our relationship. Someone I considered to be the love of my life. Someone who was so madly in love with me - or the person I used to be - that it almost seemed impossible for me to F that up. But I somehow did. And the thing is, I wasn't even that surprised when she made the decision to end things. I couldn't even be mad at her, because I would've done the same thing if I were in her shoes. That's how low my self-worth & selfesteem is. And this video perfectly summarizes how it got to that point. And it's just what I needed to push me over that edge even more - from inaction to action.
It kills me that this "wake-up call" didn't come sooner. Because I can't change the past. I can't get these last years back for myself, nor can I give them back to the one person who stuck by me through thick and thin - hoping things would change eventually, but they never did. I can't rewind time to give her the best version of myself.
This past month I've been gradually making changes for the better. Phasing out the things that have had such a negative impact on my life for these past few years. Internet, weed, gaming, bad sleeping routine ... and introducing new things that have a more positive impact on my life - like meditating, reading, exercising and just generally getting back some grip of the life that I made an absolute mess out of. I also realize that you don't just get into this inaction phase without a reason, which is why I will be seeking professional help in the near future as well. Something I should've done way sooner too. The important thing for now, is that I feel that I am growing as a person. Unfortunately, it took a big personal crisis to get there. But some say that's what it takes to re-discover that better version of yourself.
Sorry for the rant. I wanted to share my story. I'm going to re-watch this video many times in the months that follow. I hope I can re-read this in a year or so - with a better opinion of myself than I do now. Perhaps even be happy.
Thanks Joey. Truely inspirational, motivational & life-changing stuff.

No reason to think all is lost. It is not! I thought the same at one time.
"Live entirely upon Christ. Living by feelings is a deadly form of life."
~ Charles Spurgeon
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward [a]us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9

Our bills stack up... Ok. Have to STOP you there. Someone has got to tell you that you are being a fool. You might thank me later. Keyword might. Your view is off. Here is my lightbulb so you can SEE. We do not go anywhere our entire aging process. Stunning new universe fly through by video from space. We are factually stuck keyword STUCK on the top layer of our round planet (for what you call) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, our whole aging process, and our round planet is located inside our dark universe to literally nowhere. There is no day. While the Dinosaurs are factually dead we are still there, Same Planet. Like the dinosaurs and other species we were stuck here for Free Survival. Our dark universe does not come with some kind of Cosmic Black Hole Universe Bank nor a Cosmic Black Hole Competition Based Universe Job Center :) Nor did our planet come with anything Except the Natural Resources. Sorry but no. Your currency is citizens based government federal reserve currency and the origin of that horrible man-made government is The Freemasons. It's a long summery but if you wish for me to elaborate I can in concerns to their Mars plan. You didn't owe anyone over being stuck here.
:( Nobody DID. Define Stuck and the Cemetery. Define Borrowed and Future Generations. Define Cycle.
