Stronghold
Symphorce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you look inside my eyes
colored people, painted skies
the slave rules the king
my preacher becomes suffering
won't you come with me
unlock the doors, set free the dream
You're taking me higher, when we fall
everywhere
never feel
never cold
never fall
never old...
stronghold !
through the mystic dawn
another world, where you come from
if there is a way
don't hide don't be afraid
across the sky
the rays of light, on wings you fly
wherever you are, set your soul free




won't you come with me
unlock the doors, set free the dream.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Symphorce's song "Stronghold" describe a journey of self-discovery and emancipation. The singer invites the listener to look into their eyes and see a world of vibrant colors and beauty beyond the surface. The concept of slavery is introduced, with the idea that sometimes those we consider to be powerful rulers are actually slaves to their own fears and pain. The preacher, who may represent religious or societal authority, is also seen as suffering and in need of liberation. The chorus encourages the listener to come along on this journey of awakening and unlock the doors that hold us back, allowing us to reach for a dream that sets our soul free.


The second verse introduces a mystical element, referring to a world beyond our own that can be accessed if we are brave enough to face our fears and doubts. The singer encourages the listener not to hide or be afraid, but to trust in the rays of light that will guide us on our journey. The repetition of the lines "never feel, never cold, never fall, never old" suggests a longing for a state of eternal bliss and contentment. The song ends with a final call to unlock the doors and set free the dream, urging the listener to embrace their true selves and find their stronghold.
