Road to the Unknown
Magica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To seek the scroll of stone
To untie the course that`s holding down my soul
I've searched through all mankind
The cave that I must find
To speak the words that will unchain my mind
Years and years go by
And now
I'm on the road to the unknown
The frozen earth below
My footprints in the snow
Are drawing now the picture of my life.
The mountains in my sight
Are shining in the night
But the blow and silent forest's in my way
Years and years go by
I still fight to save my soul
And now
I'm on the road to the unknown

The lyrics allude to a strong desire to break free from the shackles that have been holding down the soul of the singer. Throughout the journey, the singer is on a constant search for a cave that holds the answers to unchaining their mind, which implies that they feel trapped in their current state of being. Despite the obstacles faced along the way, including a blow and silent forest in the path, the singer perseveres and continues on the journey towards the unknown.
Thematically, the song speaks of the human spirit's resilience and determination in the face of adversity. It reflects the universal desire for freedom and growth, and the willingness to take a leap into the unknown to achieve those things. The song's lyrics also echo the idea of a hero's journey, where the singer goes on a quest to find answers to the questions that plague them and face various trials and tribulations in the process, ultimately emerging stronger and renewed.
