The Unseen
Eyefear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you prepared for what's to come
Someone's let the darkness in
And devastation has begun
Ancient stories all tell the same
Every generation will feel it's pain
The unseen hand that twists our fate
Trying to find a way to rewind
To begin again
And make right what went wrong
Standing on the edge
The unseen hand pushes you
We don't heed the warning signs
You don't hear the tolling bell
Witnessing destruction everywhere
But never for those who do not care
Trying to find a way to rewind
To begin again
And make right what went wrong
Standing on the edge
The unseen hand pushes you
The song "The Unseen" by Eyefear is a contemplative reflection on the fragility of life and the inevitability of change. The opening lines of the song suggest that something significant is happening in the world and asks whether the listener is ready for what is to come. The next line implies that someone or something has released darkness and destruction upon the world, which has touched everyone, as hinted by the mention of ancient stories telling the same tale.
The song suggests that we are all at the mercy of an unseen hand that is capable of twisting our fate and changing what might have been. The chorus speaks of trying to find a way to "rewind" and start over, making things right again. It implies that we are on the brink of disaster and that we might be able to pull back from the edge of the abyss, but only if we heed the warning signs.
The lyrics of the song are powerful and thought-provoking, pointing to a sense of urgency that is both tangible and relatable. They remind us that we are all vulnerable to the forces of change and destruction, and that if we don't take heed, we could fall victim to the unseen forces that shape our lives and our world.
