Path
Sunnata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But feel like blind
For northern star
Deep in your mind
Holy wisdom
You can′t find
Would bring you peace
At which you aim
Path!
Search for your own
Relapse!...
Ouroboros
Swallows tail
Gather thoughts
Prepare to sail
Every wave
Will mark the trail
And get you straight
To inner self
Path!
Search for your own
Relapse!...
Seductive bane calls your heroes
Slaves in shade
Try it on
Right on
Swallow
Right on

The lyrics of "Path" by Sunnata revolve around a quest for inner wisdom and peace. The first verse talks about searching for something elusive, perhaps a spiritual or philosophical truth, that feels like a northern star deep in the mind. The singer seems to be frustrated by their inability to find this truth, which they believe could bring them the peace they seek. The second verse uses the metaphor of the ouroboros, an ancient symbol of a serpent eating its own tail, to describe the cyclical nature of the search for wisdom. The singer advises others to gather their thoughts and prepare to embark on their own journey, trusting that the waves will guide them to their inner selves.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to find one's own path and warns against falling back into old patterns ("relapse"). The final lines are somewhat cryptic but hint at a temptation or danger that may be encountered on this path, personified as a "seductive bane" that can ensnare even the bravest heroes.
Overall, "Path" is a complex and introspective song that encourages listeners to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery while acknowledging the challenges and pitfalls that lie ahead.
