Equinox
Unearth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The damage is done
Now the darkness settles in
This silence is deafening

Yet I keep walking on
To see it all phase to dark
And I keep walking on
To find there's no way out





Through these shadows I tread
Yet I keep walking on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Unearth's "Equinox" portray a sense of hopelessness and despair that arise from irreversible actions. The opening line, "The damage is done," signals the realization that the consequences of one's actions have been realized and cannot be undone. This despair is compounded by the fact that the darkness has settled in, and the silence that follows is deafening, indicating that the aftermath of the event is all-encompassing and inescapable.


Despite the bleakness of the situation, the singer keeps walking on, indicating their tenacity and determination to keep going even in the face of insurmountable odds. The lines “to see it all phase to dark” and “to find there's no way out” portray the singer's sense of resignation and acceptance of their situation. The final line “Yet I keep walking on” reinforces the idea that even when life gets tough, the only way forward is to continue moving forward.


Overall, "Equinox" is a haunting and introspective song that delves into the depths of the human psyche and explores the emotions that arise when we make mistakes that cannot be corrected.


Line by Line Meaning

The damage is done
The negative effects of past actions can no longer be reversed


Now the darkness settles in
A sense of gloom and pessimism is starting to dominate


This silence is deafening
The oppressive lack of sound enforces the negative emotions


Yet I keep walking on
Despite these obstacles, the person keeps moving forward


To see it all phase to dark
Witnessing the gradual disappearance of light and positivity


And I keep walking on
Continuing to persist in the face of adversity


To find there's no way out
Discovering that there appears to be no escape from the situation


Through these shadows I tread
Moving cautiously through the metaphorical darkness


Yet I keep walking on
Persisting despite the difficulty
