The Path of Least Resistance
Scar Symmetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The labyrinth unsolved
Haunting the complex of these halls
Adrift upon the massive waves
This godforsaken maze
Suddenly returning to the haze
Guiding star shine bright tonight
Time has come to know myself
Least resistant path
Burning signals I’m finding
Least resistant path
Things to be said and done
I burn with the flames
Float with the uncontrolled waters
My soul flies with the breeze
Perplexed in vast complexity
Ghost in the machinery
Seeking the exit constantly
Facing a hopeless endeavour
Being one's own saviour
Lost without a guiding star
Guiding star shine bright tonight
And light up my path
Time has come to know myself
Least resistant path
Burning signals I'm finding
Least resistant path
Things to be said and done
I burn with the flames
Float with the uncontrolled waters
My soul flies with the breeze
With every corner turned my heart sinks
A mirage lights my hope again
That silhouette could be anything
But I'm beyond the realm of reason
Least resistant path
Burning signals I'm finding
Least resistant path
Things to be said and done
I burn with the flames
Float with the uncontrolled waters
My soul flies with the breeze
Guiding star shine bright tonight
And light up my path
Time has come to know myself
The path of least resistance
The lyrics to Scar Symmetry's song The Path of Least Resistance describe a person who is lost within a complex labyrinth, seeking a way out. They feel adrift as they face the vast complexity of their surroundings, constantly struggling with hopelessness and confusion. However, they suddenly find some sense of direction and purpose, urging a guiding star to light their way through the maze. This newfound sense of hope comes as the person takes the path of least resistance, a path that is easy and effortless to traverse. They burn with the passion of following this path, and they are willing to float with uncontrolled waters and let their soul fly with the breeze.
The lyrics explore themes of finding direction and purpose in life, navigating through difficulties and complexities, and accepting the path of least resistance as a valid choice. It suggests that sometimes the path to self-discovery and awareness is not always a difficult one, and that it is okay to go with the flow and do what feels easy and right.
