in between
Dawn of Destiny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forgive and be forgiven
Salvation comes when you regret
Love and teach how to love
And never deal with the devil

But why did no one ever teach me this
Why do I creep through the night without sleep
But why did no one ever teach me this
Why do I creep through the night without sleep

I have to choose the way
Paved by trial and hate
Now it's too late to make me see

All I want is a place that I can call my home
But once, I got locked somewhere in between
And I wonder who has turned my heart to stone
Though I do regret, the door's still locked

LOST IN BETWEEN
Without hope
LOST IN BETWEEN
Without fear
LOST IN BETWEEN
Without dreams
LOST IN BETWEEN

I paid the price for no one was there
When I needed help, I was all alone
All my hopes burned
All my hopes burned
All my dreams burned

I have to choose the way
Paved by trial and hate
Now it's too late to make me see

All I want is a place that I can call my home
But once, I got locked somewhere in between
And I wonder who has turned my heart to stone
Though I do regret, the door's still locked

LOST IN BETWEEN
Without hope
LOST IN BETWEEN
Without fear
LOST IN BETWEEN
Without dreams
LOST IN BETWEEN

I feel hate for the ones who left me behind
I still remember when I was a little child
All alone in my room, with no one by my side
Who should've taught me how to dream

All alone in my room
With no one by my side
Who should've taught me how to dream
All alone in my room
With no one by my side
Who should've taught me how to dream
(Lost in between)
All alone
(Lost in between)
With no one by my side
(Lost in between)
Who should've taught me how to
(Lost in between)
How to dream

...Call my home
But once, I got locked somewhere in between
And I wonder who has turned my heart to stone
Though I do regret, the door's still locked

LOST IN BETWEEN
Without hope
LOST IN BETWEEN
Without fear
LOST IN BETWEEN




Without dreams
LOST IN BETWEEN

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "In Between" by Dawn of Destiny express a sense of regret and frustration with the lack of guidance and support in the singer's life. The opening lines emphasize the importance of forgiveness, salvation, and love in one's life, and how they can help prevent dealing with negative forces such as the devil.

The singer has paid a high price for going through life with no help or support and feeling all alone. They reflect on their childhood and wonder who should have taught them how to dream and aspire for a better future. The door to their dreams and hopes is still locked, and they feel a sense of hopelessness, fear, and lack of direction.


Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of disappointment and isolation that many people may feel as they try to navigate life's challenges.
