Polaris
Horrendous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No respite in darkness
Recurring dreams never subside
Night after night
Nocturnal apparitions
Buried dreams
Obfuscation or reality?
I plunge into velvet night
Polaris beckons
Sidereal guide
What schemes are borne
Upon your fleeting dreams?
In your labyrinthine designs?
Awaken dormant entity
Tap the wellspring of memory
Unlived aeons spiral into me
A suzerain in realms alien
Colors unseen, cascading light blossoming through decay
Deep peace, steeped in worlds profound
But as the sun descends, in whispered tongue my name resounds
Polaris calls me home again
Corporeal imprisonment
Damned in flesh, the nightmare never ends
Polaris lead me from despair
Release this earthly prisoner
Bound by bone in somnolent reverie
Each night I scan the bleak horizon
A silent star never seen again
And in my dreams Polaris gleams
But I wake in oblivion
The lyrics to Horrendous's song "Polaris" are incredibly introspective and introspective. They speak to a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction with the world, as well as a longing for something beyond the mundane. The singer is haunted by a burning star that appears in the night, and despite the darkness, the star provides no respite. The singer is plagued by recurring dreams that refuse to subside, night after night.
The lyrics also touch on themes of mystery and the unknown. The singer refers to "nocturnal apparitions" and "buried dreams," asking whether these are real or simply a product of obfuscation. The singer longs to be able to unveil the truth of these visions, to plunge into the "velvet night" and follow the "sidereal guide" of Polaris to discover the schemes "borne upon your fleeting dreams."
The final verses of the song suggest a desire to escape from the limitations of the physical world, to tap into something deeper and more profound. The singer speaks of being a "corporeal prisoner" who is "damned in flesh," and longs for release from this somnolent reverie. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the singer scanning the horizon each night for a star that's never seen again, dreaming of Polaris but always waking in oblivion.
