Passage
Humanity's Last Breath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cut out the tongue
Communicate with divinity
Eyes roll back
Witness eternity

Covered faces
Speaking in tongues
Silent voices
Prostrate bodies, heads hung

A passage between
Has been created

Standing in silence
Awaiting its presence
A passage between
Has been created

Clawing at walls of flesh
Urge to pass through
It's all connected
This plane and the other

It's all connected

Silent voices
Uttering words beyond language
Knowing what only whispers convey
Standing in silence
Awaiting its presence
Blood earns their keep

Cut out the tongue
Communicate with divinity
Our eyes roll back
Witness eternity

Witnessing eternity

Cut out the tongue
Communicate with divinity




Eyes roll back
Witness eternity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Passage" by Humanity's Last Breath explore themes of communication with the divine, crossing over between planes of existence, and the transcendence of mortal limitations. The opening lines, "Cut out the tongue, communicate with divinity, eyes roll back, witness eternity," suggest a drastic and violent action taken to achieve a higher state of connection with the divine. By silencing the physical voice, the singer seeks to tap into a deeper, more spiritual means of communication.


The following lines describe a scene of covered faces, speaking in tongues, and silent voices, possibly referencing a gathering or ritual where individuals are communing with higher powers. The idea of being "prostrate bodies, heads hung" suggests a sense of submission and reverence in the face of this otherworldly presence.


The repeated phrase, "A passage between has been created," indicates the creation of a bridge between different realms or dimensions. This passage seems to serve as a gateway for the singer and others to cross into a realm where language becomes irrelevant and only whispers can convey deep knowledge and understanding.


The lyrics further explore the connection between different planes of existence, expressing the belief that everything is interconnected. The line, "It's all connected, this plane and the other," suggests a unity and symbiotic relationship between the mortal world and the ethereal realm.


The latter part of the song emphasizes the sacrifice and dedication required to access this higher state of being. "Blood earns their keep" implies that the individuals involved in this transcendent experience must offer something of themselves, possibly through pain, to maintain their connection to divinity.


Overall, the lyrics of "Passage" present a mysterious and enigmatic journey of seeking divine connection, delving into the realms beyond human comprehension, and challenging the limitations of mortal existence.
