Awaiting the Clock's Last Turn
Karkaos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Distorted perceptions
Arising from their minds
T'is not my consciousness
T'is their darkened souls

Wake up, i'm soaken in cold sweat
So messed up, I'm losing my mind
Reason seems so far-fetched

Demons, purge them away

End is near!

As legion echoes voices,
they take a hold of me
There's nothing left to save us,
how can it be
Apocalyptic visions,
they take control of me
There's nothing left to save us,
how can this be

Outnumbered by the malign
One nation chose to fall
Predicted, these are the signs
Destruction, the stars align

Stop screaming, I never said
we'd get out of here alive

Wake up, i'm soaken in cold sweat
So messed up, I'm losing my mind
Reason seems so far-fetched
Demons, purge them away

We're losing control!

As legion echoes voices,
they take a hold of me
There's nothing left to save us,
how can it be
Apocalyptic visions,
they take control of me
There's nothing left to save us,
how can this be

What have we done
Skies are tainted red
Blood on our hands
Time's running out

As legion echoes voices,
they take a hold of me
There's nothing left to save us,
how can it be
Apocalyptic visions,
they control of me

There's nothing left to save us,
how can this be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Karkaos's song "Awaiting the Clock's Last Turn" depict a bleak and ominous scenario where the end of the world is imminent and inevitable. The artist talks about distorted perceptions arising from people's minds, and how it's not their consciousness but their darkened souls that are responsible for it. The singer wakes up soaked in cold sweat, losing their mind, and realizing how reason seems so far-fetched in the face of the impending doom. The demons possessing them need to be purged away, as the end is near.

The song continues with the idea of a legion of voices taking hold of the singer and there being nothing left to save them. The apocalyptic visions have taken control of them, and they cannot break free from it. The artist highlights the futility of trying to resist these forces, as they are outnumbered by the malign, and the downfall of one nation has been predicted. The stars are aligning for destruction, and time is running out.

Essentially, the song is a reflection of the artist's view of the world as he sees it. It's not a place filled with hope and positivity, but one where the end seems inevitable, and there is no point in arguing with it. The demons possessing people represent the evil that exists and must be purged away before one can find peace.

Distorted perceptions
Their view is warped

Arising from their minds
Their thoughts are creating this

T'is not my consciousness
It is not me causing this

T'is their darkened souls
It is coming from their corrupted spirits

Wake up, i'm soaken in cold sweat
I am startled and sweating profusely

So messed up, I'm losing my mind
I am overwhelmed and barely holding on

Reason seems so far-fetched
Logic doesn't make sense in this situation

Demons, purge them away
Begging for the evil forces to leave

End is near!
The apocalypse is coming

As legion echoes voices, they take a hold of me
Feeling overwhelmed by the dark forces around me

There's nothing left to save us, how can it be
There is no hope left
