Into The Void
Parallel Minds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just take a look at her: So fragile and so young
Lust is in your eyes, the devil's in your tongue
You can't refrain yourself From being pathetic
From being disgusting From being a piece of shit
Like the wolf you drool over your enslaved sheep
Of course you don't want to hurt her but you will
A victim you once were, this cannot be denied
But this is no excuse For child abuse

Into the void she will enter
To be safe and protect herself
To forget he's his own father
She knows love can heal and harm
For now pain she will find
Into the void she will enter
To find the love of a mother
To pray for her younger sister
She knows love can heal and harm
A bit of peace she'll find
Into the Void

She trusted you she loved you
How could she be wrong?
Now her life is twisted and she has to be strong
Mum didn't have a clue, or was it denial?
Both are guilty: Let's put them on trial
Become a woman now, a victim she once was
She is strong she won't fail
She's following the trail / way
That breaks the vicious circle of this wicked love
Of this monstrosity that leads...

Innocence replaced by guilt. She feels soiled
Her mind is bleeding - torn to pieces

Young girl has grown. She stands on her own
Her children well cared for




Future is bright, she stands on the light
She will no longer need the void

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Parallel Minds' song 'Into the Void' address the serious and sensitive issue of child abuse from the perspective of the victim, who is a young girl. The song describes the situation where the abuser is someone close to the child, in this case, her father. The opening lines describe the girl as fragile and young and the abuser is shown as someone consumed by lust and driven by a devilish impulse. The lyrics go on to call out the abuser's behavior as pathetic, disgusting, and dehumanizing. The use of the metaphor of a wolf and sheep depicts the power dynamics at play in the relationship, where the abuser has all the power and control over the vulnerable victim.


The chorus of the song talks about the void that the girl enters as a means of protection and self-preservation. She seeks the love of a motherly figure and wants to forget that her abuser is her own father. The lyrics suggest that she understands that love can both heal and harm, but she is willing to take the risk of finding some peace within the void. However, the song addresses the lifelong scars that the abuse leaves behind, replacing the victim's innocence with guilt, tearing her mind apart, and making her feel soiled. But the song does offer a glimmer of hope for the victim, as she grows up and stands on her own, caring for her own children and breaking free from the vicious cycle of abuse.
