Seventh Seal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shines though the earthly mind fills the abyss
While the soul seeks unseen truth
You're blind by apathy
You're blind to everything
Never choose to be indifferent to all of these beliefs
Never choose to be the only one who cares not of the truth
Never choose to be apathetic for the search for the way
The lyrics to Seventh Seal's song "Apathy" speak to the danger of being indifferent to the search for truth and reality. The first line, "Clouds of doubt skew perception that which can be seen" suggests that our doubts and beliefs can cloud our perception of reality, making it difficult to see the truth. However, the chorus warns against allowing apathy to take hold, which can lead to a blindness and indifference to everything, including the search for truth. The lyrics implore listeners to never choose to be apathetic, an enemy of reality or indifferent to beliefs.
The second line, "Shines though the earthly mind fills the abyss" suggests that there is a truth that can be seen by those who are not blinded by apathy or their own beliefs. The lyrics suggest that this truth can help fill the emptiness or abyss felt by those searching for meaning. The final line, "While the soul seeks unseen truth" speaks to the spiritual nature of the search for truth, suggesting that it is the soul that will ultimately find the unseen truth.
