I Endeavor
The Agonist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of The Agonist's song "I Endeavor" explore the idea of experiencing emotions and sensations that seem to transcend reality itself. The singer is asking someone to describe the ability to feel these extraordinary experiences and to give meaning to them. The intensity of the feeling is described as burning and penetrating the flesh, yet there is still a desire to understand and even embrace it. The singer seeks to break free from their past mistakes and overcome defeat, searching for a cure and a way to retrace their heartbeat.
The lyrics are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation, but they suggest a struggle to understand and accept powerful emotions that are difficult to describe or explain. The repeated phrase "give me the meaning" emphasizes the need for understanding and perhaps validation of these feelings, while also acknowledging the possibility that they may be a curse as well as a blessing. The idea of a "tranquilizing scent" adds a sensory dimension to the lyrics, suggesting that the experience involves more than just intellectual or emotional understanding.
Line by Line Meaning
Describe the ability to feel
Explain the skill of experiencing emotions
A reality far from real
An imaginative world that is different from actuality
Give me the meaning behind this touch
Clarify the significance of this sensation
Yield speech to the vibe that you clutch
Express the feeling that you hold
Grant me the truth I've longed for a lifetime
Provide me with the information I've been seeking for years
And liberate my soul from my now elapsed crime
Free my spirit from my past wrongdoing
A tear to cause not liquid with to draw from my eyes
A strong emotion that doesn't make me cry
A hallow's beginning to now sever my ties
A new start to break my connections from the past
For a smile so warm I endeavor to retrace my heartbeat
I try to recapture the feeling of happiness and warmth
To grasp a cure for the disease condemning me to my defeat
To find a remedy for the problem that is causing my failure
It burns it penetrates my very flesh
It causes a deep, intense sensation that reaches my inner being
To devour it whole
To consume the feeling entirely
It reeks it torments my poisoned flesh
It smells bad and causes agony to my contaminated body
To savour it all
To enjoy every bit of the sensation
Feelings reviving
Emotions coming back to life
There's no denying
It's impossible to refuse or ignore
Is this a blessing or a curse?
Is this beneficial or harmful?
What is the remorse?
What is the regret or guilt associated with this?
This sensation inside me
This feeling within me
Give me the meaning behind this curse
Tell me the significance of this negative experience
A howling echo binding with magic
A loud reverberation connecting with enchantment
An ever-recurring process in ceramic
A recurring activity in pottery-making
A tranquilizing scent densely growing to play its role
A calming aroma that becomes stronger to fulfill its purpose
To delicately disperse through every... Poorly patched hole
To spread gently through every crack and crevice
This is a blessing not a curse
This is something fortunate, not unfortunate
Give me the meaning!
Tell me the significance of all of this!

A really down to earth way of displaying the music.
This band seems to have a knack for the unexpected.
"Gates of horn and Ivory" got a tremendous amounts of views. More than any video for this album. Not everyone hit the like button. But everyone did hit the Play button.
I am VERY pleased with the sound of the band right now. I can't wait to see what they will do next.
Keep the fresh ideas Comming Danny! You kick ass!!

No doubts about the new singer anymore. It's a bit different but it's still the same type of feel I always loved. Still a huge fan.
