My Unawakened Soul
Lyriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That’s my talent and my bane
Every one?s demonize me
Fear for live every day
Catch the torchlight no one takes care of my unawakened soul
They stand side by side
Well prepared for the monster that?s me, I?m disgraced
Their flambeaus light the way to the stake
I will burn
Burn heathen burn
The lyrics of Lyriel's song "My Unawakened Soul" deal with the theme of being an outsider, of existing on the frontier between two worlds, and of the fear and persecution that can come with that. The first lines of the song describe the singer as a "frontier runner between worlds," someone who exists in a liminal space between the accepted and the unknown. They have a talent for this, but it is also a bane, as they are demonized and feared by those around them.
Despite this, the singer holds onto their unawakened soul, a part of themself that has yet to be fully realized or accepted by society. They carry this torchlight inside of them, even though no one else seems to care. They are constantly living in fear, and every day is a struggle for survival.
The chorus of the song speaks to a specific moment of persecution, where the singer finds themselves facing a group of people who are well-prepared to destroy them. They are fueled by their "clannish pride" and the fear of the unknown, and they light their flambeaus to guide the singer to the stake where they will be burned alive. The final line of the chorus is a brutal exclamation: "Burn heathen burn."
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of what it can be like to exist on the periphery of society, to be misunderstood and feared by those around you, and to cling to a sense of self even in the face of great danger and oppression.
