The band seeks influences from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and combines modern American metal with classic Hard Rock from Europe, molding it into their own blend with great results that can be discovered on their albums "Secrets Brought to Life", "Only Ashes Remain" and "New "awakening".

Days Of Jupiter was founded in January 2010 by Jan Hilli and Jörgen Hellström (formerly Trace of lords) along with drummer Magnus Larsson (formerly Destynation). After a few line-up changes, they formed a solid group that could provide the band with the vision of a world-class hard rock/metal band. 2010 was a year of hard work, which resulted in many live concerts in Sweden with fantastic audience reception, as well as second place in Sweden's largest competition for unsigned bands. They began recording their debut album "Secrets Brought to Life" with renowned producer Patrik Frisk (Corroded, Takada, Crash Diet) at Sidelake studios. The album was released in March 2012, shortly after the release of the single "Bleed", and received great reviews. As a result of the album's success, the band played shows at festivals such as Sweden Rock Festival, Live at Heart, Nordic Rock and Rock Out Wild.

Panoptical
Days of Jupiter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everywhere I look around there's people desperate to be seen
Doing anything to be famous for nothing
The social media, we walk its seas
We slave ourselves, save yourselves
You don't need attention or fame to be known

Open my eyes so I can see
Are you a saint or a sinner like me

I open my eyes to a world in need
But I know all words will make it disappear

Woah woah
In a beautiful world of broken dreams

Device a
Our own society will make us lone
So face yourself, save yourself
You don't need attention or fame to be known

Open my eyes so I can see
Are you a saint or a sinner like me
I open my eyes to a world in need
But I know all words will make it disappear

Woah woah
In a beautiful world of broken dreams

Are we too visible to see
Are we too visible to be seen
Are we too visible to see

Woah woah
In a beautiful world of broken dreams

Open my eyes so I can see
Are you a saint or a sinner like me
I open my eyes to a world in need
But I know all words will make it disappear

Woah woah
In a beautiful world of broken dreams

Overall Meaning

The song "Panoptical" by Days of Jupiter talks about the desperation of people to be seen in society today. The lyrics begin with the singer acknowledging the obsession with fame and how people are willing to do anything to achieve it. The song talks about how social media has taken over our lives, and we are slaves to it, desperately seeking attention and recognition. However, the song implies that it is unnecessary to be famous, as we can still make our mark in the world without it.

The lyrics then move to the concept of opening our eyes to see the world for what it really is, with all its brokenness and need. The line "Are you a saint or a sinner like me" implies that nobody is perfect, and we all have flaws that need to be addressed. The song then moves to the idea that all words spoken can make everything disappear, implying the power of words to change the world.

The chorus speaks of the world being a beautiful place, full of broken dreams. The second verse reiterates the idea that society can make us alone, but we need to face ourselves and save ourselves rather than seeking attention from society. Thus, the song encourages introspection and self-reflection as the path to true fulfillment.
