Out Of The Dark
Unseen Faith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some nights
It feels like my skin is falling apart
Some days
It feels like the sun is shining too bright
I find myself in these bloody rivers
Trying to take control my heart shivers
Is there a life to embark on, a way to begin?
Is there a real life far away, to seek out to?

Out of the dark
Out of the dark
So, I've been feeding in the rain
To ease this well-known pain
And I've been holding my own breath
Avoiding all of the threats
But not anymore
But not anymore
It's time
To step into the mud
It's time to face the pain
It's time
erase the stubbornness
It's time to break the chains
I only got myself to blame
But a new start is what I claim
Will I be ready for my life to begin?
Am I ready for my life to change?

Cause life is not life
In the ark
So, I've been feeding in the rain
To ease this well-known pain
And I've been holding my own breath
Avoiding all of the threats
But not anymore
But not anymore
I find myself in these bloody rivers
Trying to take control
I find myself in these bloody rivers
My heart shivers
We might have said it a million times before.
We might have heard it among a million
starving souls.
In the dark

I might have said it a million times before
But I know I will not feed anymore

Some nights
On certain nights

It feels like my skin is falling apart
I feel like I'm losing control of myself

Some days
On certain days

It feels like the sun is shining too bright
I feel overwhelmed by the brightness of the world

I find myself in these bloody rivers
I feel like I'm drowning in my own problems

Trying to take control my heart shivers
I'm struggling to regain control and I'm scared

Is there a life to embark on, a way to begin?
Is there a new path or direction for me to take?

Is there a real life far away, to seek out to?
Is there a better life out there for me to find?

Out of the dark
To escape from a difficult situation

Out of the dark
To find a way out of a tough spot

So, I've been feeding in the rain
I've been trying to cope with my issues

To ease this well-known pain
To numb my familiar suffering

And I've been holding my own breath
I've been trying to avoid danger

Avoiding all of the threats
Avoiding all the possible harm

But not anymore
But that ends now

But not anymore
It's time to make a change

It's time
A call to action

To step into the mud
To face the hardship of life

It's time to face the pain
To confront the suffering head-on

It's time to erase the stubbornness
To let go of my refusal to change

It's time to break the chains
To free myself from my burdens

I only got myself to blame
I'm responsible for my own problems

But a new start is what I claim
I want to start over with a fresh perspective

Will I be ready for my life to begin?
Am I prepared for a new chapter in my life?

Am I ready for my life to change?
Am I prepared for a major shift?

Cause life is not life
Because my current situation isn't really living

In the ark
In a confined and limited space

I might have said it a million times before
I may have repeated this sentiment many times

But I know I will not feed anymore
But I'm finally ready to take control of my life and move on
