Labyrinth
Serotonin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Outlines of destinations
Are sketched in our minds where truth once was
Foundations for a veil to withhold
The anxious words that questioned you before
Signals accelerate
Unnoticed and hidden away
Concealed beneath each foward step we believe to take
There are miles in between
What we want and what is seen
A division between
All our goals and true outcomes

Fingerprints have lost identity
Blueprints for the future of history
Veils withhold the anxious words that questioned you before
The future anticipates deviations from normal pace
Picture the canvas broken-
Who painted this picture?

As the voices calmed,
Common faces turned.
In surrender to standards set to grow
Advances in inches per second.

Fingers held into yours
As were pushed through hidden doors
As a force took our hopes
Forward thrown into dark unknowns

There are miles in between
What we want and what is seen
A division between
All our goals and true outcomes

With each passing moment
Countin' crucial seconds
Writing a new chapter
In the story of humanity

And all the world's forces
And all the world's men
Don't know who they're fighting for-
Let alone who will win.

Head on the chopping block,
Whose name is on the blade?




Directions to emptiness,
What will the outcome be?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Labyrinth" by Serotonin seem to be exploring the themes of uncertainty, anxiety, and the gap between our desired outcomes and what we actually see in reality. The first few lines describe how we form mental images of where we want to go or what we want to achieve, but these images are often just vague outlines without a solid foundation of truth. We create veils to hide our fears and doubts, and we push forward without fully acknowledging the signals and warning signs that are hidden beneath the surface.


The song goes on to describe how there is a division between what we want and what we actually see in the world. Our plans and goals often don't align with the realities of life, and we feel lost and uncertain as we try to bridge the gap. The lyrics suggest that our fingerprints and blueprints for the future have lost their identity, and we're left wondering who painted the picture of our lives.


Despite this uncertainty, the song seems to be calling for us to push forward and take action. We may not know what the outcome will be, but we need to keep counting crucial seconds and writing a new chapter in the story of humanity. The final lines suggest that there are many forces at play, and we may not even know who we're fighting for or what the outcome will be. But we must continue to move forward, facing the unknown with hope and courage.


Line by Line Meaning

Outlines of destinations
Our minds create outlines of where we want to go


Are sketched in our minds where truth once was
But these outlines replace the truth we once knew


Foundations for a veil to withhold
This creates a foundation for hiding our true selves


The anxious words that questioned you before
And the fears we had before keep us from being honest


Signals accelerate
Our actions start moving faster


Unnoticed and hidden away
But we don't even realize it's happening


Concealed beneath each forward step we believe to take
Our acceleration is hidden underneath every step we think we're taking forward


There are miles in between
We are far from our goals


What we want and what is seen
Our desires don't match what's in front of us


A division between
There's a great separation


All our goals and true outcomes
Between what we want and what we'll actually get


Fingerprints have lost identity
Our individuality is disappearing


Blueprints for the future of history
And we're losing our plans for the future


Veils withhold the anxious words that questioned you before
We're still hiding our fears and doubts


The future anticipates deviations from normal pace
The future is unpredictable and may not go as planned


Picture the canvas broken-
Our plans and dreams are shattered


Who painted this picture?
And we don't even know who's responsible for our failures


As the voices calmed,
Our fears lessen


Common faces turned.
We begin to join together


In surrender to standards set to grow
We give in to society's expectations


Advances in inches per second.
Our progress is very slow


Fingers held into yours
We hold onto each other


As were pushed through hidden doors
As we navigate the unknown


As a force took our hopes
Despite the odds, we hold onto our hopes and dreams


Forward thrown into dark unknowns
And are thrust into the scary unknown future


With each passing moment
As time goes on


Countin' crucial seconds
We're aware of the limited time we have


Writing a new chapter
We are changing the course of history


In the story of humanity
Through our experiences as humans


And all the world's forces
There are many things against us


And all the world's men
And even people on our own side are unsure


Don't know who they're fighting for-
They're uncertain of who they're fighting for


Let alone who will win.
And don't know who will come out on top


Head on the chopping block,
We're at risk


Whose name is on the blade?
We don't know who's putting us at risk


Directions to emptiness,
We're headed towards emptiness


What will the outcome be?
And we don't know how it will end.

on The Backpacker

Don't get me wrong
Baby, you're the prize of a thousand mile hike
You're shining in the things you wear
My eyes can't bear
The more how unfair

With gold sparkles around you
And the splendid aura surrounds you
Ten miles away from the finish line
How come I'm ready to see you

I treat this journey as a challenge
To get on this life with you
However, forever is a bit blur
I may never feel like we belong together

Darling I say this to you
Because it wasn't meant to be
The butterflies been telling me
The vision that I carry is the vision of reality

Now all I see is the illusion of beauty
That may seem some inadequacy
Baby you seem too perfect for me
My eyes reflect a spinning image of you
I see a flower white as it seem
Perfect too

A thousand mile hike
My eyes can't bear
The more how unfair
Ten miles away from the finish line

The butterflies been telling me
The vision that I carry is the vision of reality
The more how unfair
Ten miles away from the finish line

The butterflies been telling me
The vision that I carry is the vision of reality

Don't get me wrong
Baby, you're the prize of a thousand mile hike
You're shinning in the things you wear
My eyes can't bear
The more how unfair
With gold sparkles around you
And the splendid hour surrounds you
Ten miles away from the finish line

How come I'm ready to see there

I treat this journey as a challenge
To get on this life with you
However, forever is a bit blur
I may never feel like we belong together
Darling I say this to you
Because it wasn't meant to be
The butterflies been telling me
The vision that I carry is vision of reality

Now all I see is the illusion of beauty
That may seem some adequacy
Baby you seem too perfect for me

Perfect too

My eyes can't bear
The more how unfair
Ten miles away from the finish line

The butterflies been telling me
The vision that I carry is the vision of reality
