DAYBREAK
Unholy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you're seeking hell
Waste not young life in vain
Sight of flesh so tender
Only brings heartache and pain
It's all mirage in desert of vanity
"O'youth seek not others
But yourself - Seek well!
Seek not - be one to be sought for
Whatever is brought to you - you take
"Never thank for pleasures not asked for"
In solitude the strong shall flourish
In bloom is loner's heart
Envy not others - it's their part
O'youth take my word
True wisdom is voice of tranquil heart
Those restless in youth are never truly born
Sitting still in circle of time
Watching days to break, moons to rise
Alive - still yet to be born
With my Ally I'll return - Newborn!
"Dream my earthly child dream
The eagle and the serpent
Will guard your sleep"
Riding with the drum
Flying on the whirling wind
On the crest of clouds
The worlds where I'm the Dweller
All rest on my palm!!!
The song ‘Daybreak’ by Unholy portrays a message of inner search and self-discovery. The opening line, ‘O'youth seek not others, For you're seeking hell’ warns the listeners to avoid seeking external validation as it can lead to despair and emptiness. The lyrics emphasize that indulging in fleeting desires and materialistic pleasures can only bring heartache and pain. It urges the youth to seek and discover one’s inner self rather than seeking others' validation. The internal journey is depicted as ‘a solitary path’ where one can discover true wisdom and a warrior's heart through silence and introspection. The lyrics plead the youth to embrace solitude and learn to be comfortable in their own company, as it is where the strong shall flourish. The message conveyed is that true birth happens only when one learns to perceive things differently and breaks free from societal norms.
The song also features a reference to animal totems, i.e., ‘The eagle and the serpent will guard your sleep.’ The lyrics suggest that the eagle and the serpent are animal totems that are believed to offer protection and guidance to those who seek higher knowledge. The drums, whirling wind, and crest of clouds portray a sense of liberation and freedom from worldly affairs- where the author describes the worlds where he's the dweller and all rest on his palm.

O'youth seek not others
Don't look for direction from anyone else
For you're seeking hell
You are unknowingly digging your own grave
Waste not young life in vain
Don't waste your youth being foolish
Sight of flesh so tender
Physical beauty is fleeting
Only brings heartache and pain
It leads to pain and misery
It's all mirage in desert of vanity
It's all an illusion in a world that is focused on material possessions

Look within yourself for the answers you seek
Only silence may reveal true warriors heart
It's through quiet contemplation that one discovers their true strength

O'youth take my word
Listen to what I have to say
True wisdom is voice of tranquil heart
Wisdom comes from a calm heart
Those restless in youth are never truly born
Those who are always searching in their youth never truly find themselves
Sitting still in circle of time
Sitting still and being present in the moment
Watching days to break, moons to rise
Observing the natural world and its cycles
Alive - still yet to be born
Living in the moment and yet to experience what the future holds
With my Ally I'll return - Newborn!
I will return to the world with a renewed spirit
Dream my earthly child dream
Dream your dreams while you are still alive
The eagle and the serpent
Symbols of power
Will guard your sleep
You are protected while you sleep
Riding with the drum
Moving forward with passion
Flying on the whirling wind
Making progress with the help of natural forces
On the crest of clouds
On top of the world
The worlds where I'm the Dweller
The different realms in which I have lived
All rest on my palm!!!
I have control over my own life
