Divine Ascension take the genre of female fronted metal to a whole new level. The band continue to surprise metal fans the world over with its iconic breed of melodic/progressive metal. A definite force to be reckoned with in the emerging metal scene, Divine Ascension hail from Melbourne, Australia and are led by the enigmatic Jennifer Borg - a voice once heard, not easily forgotten. DA's second album Liberator is following on from their highly acclaimed debut As The Truth Appears.
Their debut album’s successes were many, brining in rave reviews and allowing the band to play alongside symphonic power metal masters Kamelot during their first ever Australian tour in 2013. The release of Liberator will see Divine Ascension’s reach grow further. Soon metal fans will be split into two groups, those who have heard Divine Ascension and those who are about to.

In My Mind
Divine Ascension Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a dangerous time
For the realm of the blind
Will we be... so free
How to be so far from here
How to be so far
How to be so far from here
We dwell among the souls of hollow man
Poison our minds with the love of green
Unbalanced power held in greedy hands
Betrayal of life by authority
More than we see
In my mind... I never meant to walk away
In my mind... I will turn to you and say
In my mind... I never meant to lose control
In my mind... I will turn to you and say
I will fly forever... In my mind
It is the children afraid to fall asleep
Helplessness of unconscious dream
Broken promise of eternal peace
Is who we are make the elders weep
Or am I dreaming
In my mind... I never meant to walk away
In my mind... I will turn to you and say
In my mind... I never meant to lose control
In my mind... I will turn to you and say
I will fly forever... In my mind
We seek all the answers untold
There's a story behind every lie
Don't speak
All your lies I have heard
Won't reach
My mind I have learned
How to be so far from here
In my mind... I never meant to walk away
In my mind... I will turn to you and say
I will fly forever
(Lead Break)
In my mind... I never meant to walk away
In my mind... I will turn to you
In my mind... I never meant to walk away
In my mind... I will turn to you and say
I will fly forever... In my mind
In my mind
The song "In My Mind" by Divine Ascension conveys a haunting message about the dangers of ignorance and how it affects our daily lives. The opening lines, "How long... will we fear? It's a dangerous time, For the realm of the blind," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It speaks of a world where people choose to stay uninformed and ignorant of the truth, allowing powerful people with corrupt intentions to take control of their lives. The song describes how these leaders hold unbalanced power in their greedy hands, causing betrayal of life and ultimately destruction. The line "We dwell among the souls of hollow man," speaks to the notion of us living amongst those without purpose or direction. The chorus, "In my mind... I never meant to walk away, In my mind... I will turn to you and say, I will fly forever... In my mind," suggests a desire for a transcendence or escape from the reality of chaos and destruction that surrounds us.
The song also calls attention to the plight of the younger generation who are afraid to fall asleep, feeling helpless and vulnerable. It speaks of broken promises of eternal peace and how humanity continues to make the same mistakes over and over again. It raises the question "Or am I dreaming?" which can also reflect a sense of hopelessness or feeling like change may never come.
Overall, "In My Mind" conveys a message of hope for change and the necessity of having knowledge and awareness in order to break away from a cycle of corruption and destruction. It urges listeners to use their minds and break free from the chains of ignorance.
