Sidewinder
Dark Illumination Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

High-speed ride with fast progress
nothing can stop us
we have to confess the time will come
when we decide where to live and where to hide
we will search for a home
sidewinder travel through time
Like sidewinders we travel through time
with the speed of light
not knowing where we’ll be today




we fly through the night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dark Illumination's song Sidewinder describe a journey that is both thrilling and uncertain. The first verse talks about the excitement of moving quickly towards a goal, with nothing able to stand in the way of progress. However, there is also a sense of foreboding as the time comes for a decision on where to live and where to hide. This suggests that there is a danger or an impending threat that the travelers are trying to avoid. The second verse continues this theme, likening the journey to that of a sidewinder snake, which is known for its speed and agility. The travelers are moving so fast that they don't know where they will end up next and must navigate through the darkness to reach their destination.


Overall, these lyrics speak to the human desire for adventure and progress, while also acknowledging the uncertainty and danger that often accompany such journeys. The use of the sidewinder as a metaphor adds an interesting layer to the song, as it implies that the travelers must be nimble and quick-witted to survive the challenges they face.
