Unleashed
Epica Lyrics

Keep hiding
Continuing to stay hidden from the world and not being true to oneself.

All colors fading
The vibrancy and liveliness of life slowly diminishing and losing its flair.

Defining
Desperately searching for purpose and meaning in life.

Time coming for me
The inevitability of time and its effects on life becoming more apparent and pressing.

Rescinding my inspiration
The loss of creative motivation and passion to pursue one's dreams and ambitions.

Rescinding consciousness
Becoming trapped by one's own thoughts and succumbing to inner demons and doubts.

Back in the day, I can recall that
A reminiscence of times in the past where life was less complicated and more carefree.

My thoughts were unclouded and sage
A time where one's mind was clear and wise, with a pure outlook on life.

There was no black stain in the walls of my memories
A memory of a time before any negative experiences or trauma that have caused emotional pain and baggage.

Now there's a haze pushing me sideways
A current sense of being lost and unsure of one's direction in life, with external forces causing distraction and confusion.

And leaving me nothing to gain
The feeling of emptiness and a lack of purpose or fulfilment in life.

Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity
Being trapped in a cycle of negative emotions and self-doubt, with no clear escape or solution.

Where was I meant to be?
A rhetorical question pondering the purpose and destiny of one's existence.

I'm feeling lost in a dream
Feeling like one is in a haze or trance-like state, not fully present or connected to reality.

Long for the day I can be myself
A desire to break free from the constraints of society and be true to one's own identity.

When I'm free
The idea of freedom and liberation from inner turmoil and external pressures.

When my sun has set
A metaphorical allusion to the ending of one's life and the desire to find purpose and fulfilment before that time comes.

Release myself forever
The idea of finding permanent freedom and liberation from one's inner demons and doubts.

I have no regret
No longer carrying the weight of past mistakes or negative experiences, allowing for a fresh start and new beginning.

To be free
The ultimate goal of breaking free from the chains of inner turmoil and societal constraints.

I'll exist again
The idea of truly living life to the fullest and being present and connected to the world.

No more lost endeavors
The idea of finding direction and purpose in life, no longer being lost or unsure about one's path.

Nothing to contend
Feeling at peace and content with one's life and not having to constantly fight against inner demons or external pressures.

Color declines
The vibrancy and liveliness of life slowly diminishing and losing its flair.

All that defines me
Questioning one's identity and what defines them as a person when external pressures and societal norms cloud one's self-perception.

Is falling away far behind
Losing a sense of self-identity and purpose, with life seeming empty and meaningless.

Nothing to keep me with the time
Feeling disconnected from the world and society, not being able to keep up with the constant changes and demands of life.

Where am I meant to be?
An ongoing internal struggle to find purpose and meaning in life, often feeling lost and unsure of one's path.

Yearning again only to be myself
A strong desire to break free from societal constraints and be true to one's own identity and desires.

(Cure me, free me, help me, see me)
A call for help and support from others to break free from inner demons and societal pressures.

(No more worry, no more losing)
The hope of finding peace and freedom from worry and loss, and finding direction and purpose in life.

Time's just a concept (save me, near me, help me, hear me)
Reflecting on the nature of time as a human construct, and the need for support and help to overcome personal struggles.

And always the first thing to fade (no more heartache, no misery)
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of time and its ability to erode away at one's sanity and emotional well-being.

Hiding in weakness(cure me, free me, help me, see me)
Feeling trapped and powerless, in need of assistance to overcome personal weaknesses and struggles.

Nothing we can ever evade (no more worry, no agony)
Accepting the inevitability of life's struggles and hardships, but hoping to find freedom from such worries and pains.

Years are cruel, they break us (save me, near me, help me, hear me)
Reflecting on the negative impacts that time and life's struggles can have on one's mental and emotional state, and the need for support and help to overcome them.

Bringing on decay and despair (we despair) (no more heartache, no despairing)
Describing the destructive effects that time and life's hardships can have on one's mental state, and the desire to find freedom and liberation from such feelings.

Awareness and perception(cure me, free me, help me, see me)
The idea of gaining a clearer understanding of oneself and the world around them, and the need for support and guidance to achieve this.

Something we can never repair (no repair) (no more worry, no repairing)
Acknowledging that some things in life cannot be undone or repaired, and the need to find peace and acceptance in this reality.

Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing
The clear desire and goal of finding freedom and liberation from internal demons and societal expectations.

Give me power to break out
A call for the strength and resilience to overcome personal struggles and break free from societal constraints and expectations.

I can't hold on for any longer
Feeling the weight and burden of personal struggles and external pressures, and the desire for relief from such hardships.

My time has to come to an end it all
A sense of acceptance and readiness for the end of one's life, but with the hope of finding freedom and liberation before that time comes.

No one to blame
Taking responsibility for one's personal struggles and hardships, and recognizing that external circumstances may not be to blame.

Fate's only random
Acknowledging that life's circumstances and events are often beyond one's control, and are subject to chance and randomness.

It's nothing we'll ever explain
Accepting that there may be no clear explanation or reason for life's struggles and hardships, and that some things may never be fully understood or explained.

So it remains
Accepting the reality of life's struggles and hardships, but holding onto hope for finding freedom and liberation from them.

When will I be unleashed?
A rhetorical question expressing the desire for freedom and liberation from personal struggles and societal expectations.

It's not the way to be
Reflecting on the negative impacts that societal expectations and personal struggles can have on one's mental and emotional well-being.

Unleash my consciousness
The ultimate goal of breaking free from societal norms and expectations, and embracing one's true identity and desires.
