Unspoken
Krampus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crushed by this waiting I’m exploding
I’m Stuck between my dreams and reality
What I can afford it’s just the pale shadow of what you promised
Born under the sign of Void.
I have no future no hopes to fulfill
You who had the chance to build your life
Tell me how I can build when the earth shake
Hopes made of dust blew by a breath
Blamed for a weakness I don’t own
My Desires stolen and took to anyone
I hate what I’ve been forced to become
For a fate that I don’t know
For a chance that I don’t own
I keep living and fighting my way off this endless mud
I, Unheard, searching for the light out of this darkness
I’ve grown alone with all my fears
I’ve payed the bills for all my tears
Unspoken words left on the road
the silent scream of an unknown.
I’m tired of feeling powerless, to disappoint the hopes of whom I care
Her eyes the mirror of my failure i can’t forgive myself for every time that I told her that i can’t
For a fate that I don’t know
For a chance that I don’t own
I keep living and fighting my way off this endless mud
I, Unheard, searching for the light out of this darkness
The threads of my fate are out of control
I’m on the verge of falling to the
Oblivion
The Rules of this sensless order are carved on my pain
I’ve grown alone with all my fears
I’ve payed the bills for all my tears
Unspoken words left on the road
the silent scream of an unknown.
The lyrics of Krampus's song, Unspoken, explore the idea of feeling trapped and powerless in one's own life. The singer describes themselves as a mistake, born into a life of adversity with no hope of fulfilling their dreams. They feel crushed by waiting and stuck between the harsh reality of their life and the dreams they once had. The singer blames those who came before them, those who had the chance to build a better life but failed to create a stable foundation for future generations. They feel blamed for a weakness they don't own and their desires have been stolen and taken by others. The singer hates what they’ve been forced to become and feels powerless to change their situation.
The refrain of "For a fate that I don't know, for a chance that I don't own" reinforces the singer's sense of hopelessness and frustration. They feel unheard, searching for a way out of the darkness that surrounds them. The unspoken words left on the road and the silent scream of an unknown represent the singer's feelings of being ignored and overlooked. They are tired of disappointing the hopes of those who care about them, specifically referencing the mirror of their failure in the eyes of someone they care about deeply. The threads of the singer's fate are out of control and they are on the verge of falling into oblivion, with the rules of this senseless order carved into their pain. The singer has grown alone with their fears and has paid the bills for all their tears, feeling unheard and searching for a way out of their endless mud.
