Utopía
Halcyon Days Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

four black walls
with missing corners
I'm trapped inside this den of torture
this darkness is consuming me
with a silence so still
it's blinding me
my mind goes into overdrive
and it feels like no time
passes by
all I can think of is the life I lived
is this my hell? my seventh sin?

I say to myself
it's all in your head
you'll soon wake up
in your bed
there's a demon on my shoulder
haunting me

you're all poluted
by your own neglect to see
all your past conquests
all your pathetic lack of ideas

we all fail sometimes
that's a fact of life
just open your mind
and turn things back around
there's no one holding you back but yourself
let go of the hate
show you're free
and paint the world
with your love

with my heart
in your hand
absorb the tragedies
fade them from
my memory
don't let go
just hold on
collapse my walls of sanity
I'll finally be free

my mind goes into overdrive
and it feels like no time whatsoever
passes by
there is no time to lose
there is no looking back
this is your heaven
this is your hell

you're all polluted
by your own neglect to see
all your past conquests
all your pathetic lack of ideas

with my heart
in your hand
absorb the tragedies
fade them from
my memories
don't let go
just hold on
collapse my walls of sanity
I'll finally be free

the final sunset
the dawn of man




we're all in limbo
we're out of time

Overall Meaning

In "Utopia," Halcyon Days paints a picture of being trapped in a dark and confined space, faced with torment and self-doubt. The four black walls with missing corners metaphorically represent a trapped state of mind, unsure of how to move forward. The darkness consumes and blinds the singer, causing them to spiral into their thoughts. The line "my seventh sin" suggests a feeling of guilt and self-blame, a sense that the singer is responsible for being stuck in their current state.


Despite the demons on their shoulder, the singer attempts to convince themselves that they can overcome their internal obstacles. The line "it's all in your head" is a common self-help phrase, implying that the situation is not as bad as it seems. However, the singer's struggle is very real, as they feel polluted and stuck in their past, unable to come up with new ideas. The song's central message lies in the line "there's no one holding you back but yourself," encouraging the singer to let go of their negative emotions and see the world through a different lens. The final section of the song speaks of a surrender to a higher power in the form of another person or force that can collapse the walls of sanity and provide freedom.


Overall, "Utopia" is a song that delves into the complexities of mental struggle and self-doubt. It encourages the listener to overcome their own internal obstacles and find freedom.

Something about melodic hardcore has held me for years.

Horatio Huffnagel

Any other bands like this. I really like this style of playing. Its heavy but melodic and emotional at the same time. Not emo but you know what I mean. No other band I know sounds like these guys. Hope they keep going.

Swansen03

truth. any other genre its easy enough to act or just put on a performance, but, with melodic hardcore you really have to have your heart into it. it what defines the sound, and with that there are sssoo many really good bands. true passion
