Although originally associated with the funeral doom scene, the band has developed a more complex sound in their later work, incorporating elements from progressive and classic rock alongside the original influences from doom metal, classical and ethnic music.

Live Through Me
Pantheist Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you ever stay awake at nights
Agonizing over all these dreams you left behind
If you looked back and you found you have never been yourself
Did your thoughts go back to me?

Have you ever thought of a future without me?
Could there be a life, a happy life somewhere else?
If I tumble from a looking at the rainbow

Would you roam unchained and free?

A rainbow will appear and you'll get your chance, you'll see
You will find your way as you are searching in the dark
Deep within your soul, a fire slowly burns
A sacred shrine, your destiny

You live, live through me
You see through my eyes

How could you ever be free
Until the end will us part?

Overall Meaning

In the song "Live Through Me" by Pantheist, the lyrics speak of someone who is having sleepless nights, tormented by the dreams and aspirations they have left behind in their past. They are questioning if they have ever truly been themselves, if deep down they have lost a part of who they are. The singer then asks if in these moments, the person's thoughts have drifted back to them.

The lyrics then continue on to explore the possibility of life without the singer. The person is asked if they have ever considered a future without the singer, and if there could be happiness to be found elsewhere. The imagery of a rainbow is then introduced, and the idea that the person may one day find a new path and move forward without the singer. However, the song ends on a poignant note, with the singer stating that until the end, they are bound together, and that the person will continue to live through them.

Overall, the song carries themes of self-exploration, individuality, and the concept of being bound to another person. The lyrics are introspective and melancholic, exploring the complex emotions that come with questioning one's identity and considering the possibility of a future without someone we care about deeply.
