DAYBREAK
Unholy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O'youth seek not others
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!
Only silence may reveal true warriors heart"
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!!!

Overall Meaning

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.
