As Through a Child's Eyes
Terminus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beyond compare, beyond your ken
A veil was lifted and I saw the world as through a child's eyes
Alas, at once, I saw the vile contempt you rained on me
Trapped in this cage though I might have been
I was a better man
I was a better man
In life's new love I lost myself in rapture to the morning son
E'en though I fell to blows of scorn and wrath I was yet free
Bereft of hope only a black horizon stands in front of me
But for the briefest of moments I lived in reverie
Trapped in this cage though I might have been
I was a better man
Lost to your world though I might have been
Trapped in this cage though I might have been
Lost to your world though I might have been
Longing for life at the ending of light
Scratching and clawing into that dark night I go
The lyrics of "As Through a Child's Eyes" by Terminus express the singer's experience of feeling abandoned and rejected by society. The opening lines, "Life forlorn, forsaken born / Beyond compare, beyond your ken," suggest a sense of isolation and being disconnected from others. The singer feels like an outsider, unable to be understood or appreciated by those around them.
The line, "A veil was lifted and I saw the world as through a child's eyes," signifies a moment of clarity for the singer. Suddenly, they are able to see the world with the innocence and wonder of a child. However, this newfound perspective is short-lived as they quickly realize that the people around them only express disdain and contempt. The phrase "the vile contempt you rained on me" reveals the harsh treatment and rejection the singer has experienced.
Despite feeling trapped and confined, the singer asserts their worth: "Trapped in this cage though I might have been / I was a better man." They refuse to be defined solely by their circumstances. The repetition of "Lost to your world though I might have been" emphasizes the feeling of being disconnected from societal norms and expectations.
The second half of the song brings a glimmer of hope as the singer finds solace in a new love and experiences moments of joy and freedom. However, the reality of their situation soon returns, symbolized by "a black horizon" and a "briefest of moments" lived in reverie. The closing lines convey a sense of desperation and determination as the singer faces the unknown and embarks on a journey into the darkness.
Overall, "As Through a Child's Eyes" explores themes of isolation, rejection, resilience, and the longing for a sense of belonging and understanding.
Line by Line Meaning
Life forlorn, forsaken born
I was born into a lonely and abandoned existence
Beyond compare, beyond your ken
My experiences and emotions are beyond your comprehension
A veil was lifted and I saw the world as through a child's eyes
I gained a new perspective and saw the world with innocence and wonder
Alas, at once, I saw the vile contempt you rained on me
Sadly, I quickly realized the cruel disdain you directed towards me
Trapped in this cage though I might have been
Despite feeling confined and restricted
I was a better man
I remained true to my values and character
Lost to your world though I might have been
Though I could have been part of your world, I chose not to
In life's new love I lost myself in rapture to the morning sun
I immersed myself in the joy and beauty of life's newfound love
E'en though I fell to blows of scorn and wrath I was yet free
Even in the face of ridicule and anger, I still retained my inner freedom
Bereft of hope only a black horizon stands in front of me
I feel hopeless, with only darkness ahead
But for the briefest of moments I lived in reverie
Yet, there was a short moment when I experienced pure bliss
Longing for life at the ending of light
Yearning for a fulfilling existence as darkness approaches
Scratching and clawing into that dark night I go
Persistently fighting and struggling through the darkness that lies ahead
