The Unknown
Dualistic & NCT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't look back now, it's too late to break
And i don't know how long it takes to get here
Our minds will take us places where we've been before
But our hearts will come from the unknown
I look for love behind every falling star
And when the journey comes, we have sung
Our minds will take us places where we've been before
But our hearts will come from the unknown
I look for love behind every falling star
And when the journey comes, we have sung
The unknown
The unknown
Picked the path i was chosen to take
I can't look back now, it's too late to break
And i don't know how long it takes to get here
Our minds will take us places where we've been before
But our hearts will come from the unknown
I look for love behind every falling star
And when the journey comes, we have sung
Our minds will take us places where we've been before
But our hearts will come from the unknown
I look for love behind every falling star
And when the journey comes, we have sung
The unknown

@ExaltedTechnique
I am in tears and pure awe.
This songs speaks directly to my soul. I aspire in becoming a world leader to finally free humanity to walk among the stars like the gods of ancient mythical legend.
I have been extremely scared, and nervous of the sheer epic scale and fear personal responsibility to commit to go into unknown that lies beyond the shadows.
I am an audio engineer/composer by trade, I have dyslexia and synaesthesia (Sight/Sound)
Like myself, we compose this music, not for money or fame but to express the raw essence of our emotions, for the love of creative curiosity.
Thank you. I really mean that it's straight from my heart.
This is a masterpiece, beyond the art itself, raw inspiration.

This song is so criminally underrated
