The Voice
Daemonlord Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No ear can hear it
No mind can understand it
No mouth can repeat its words
As it's been cried by all mouths

Despair and lust
Jealousy and love
Echoes in the distance
Living poetry in a spiral cycle
Stories that would make you cry
Tremble, laugh, or hate

Cacophony, stream of consciousness
Complexity, twisted loneliness
Reality, repeating the same sounds
Monotony, in all this variety





Different feelings, a same origin
Different minds, a same beginning

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daemonlord's song The Voice seem to describe a form of communication that is beyond human comprehension. The first few lines suggest that whatever it is that is being expressed here is so profound and mysterious that it cannot be fully grasped by our senses or intellect. It is something that has been "cried" or vocalized by everyone, yet it remains impenetrable. The lines "No mouth can repeat its words" suggest that this voice is possibly divine or supernatural in origin.


The following lines compare and contrast a range of human emotions that seem to echo through the ages, from "Despair and lust" to "Jealousy and love". These emotions are described as "Living poetry in a spiral cycle" and "Stories that would make you cry". Despite their intensity, however, they are ultimately rendered into "Monotony, in all this variety" as they are all born of the same human experience.
