Born Under A Bad Sign
Unsilent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burn fast my chariot
Drawn by seven hungry redeyed wolves
Your guide is blinking
Your rein is cuting to the bones

Burn fast my chariot
Steep the darkness with my innate curse
But fear the deamons
Who whispering about control

Couse wolves will tear you flash
In any minuite
If they will feel the smell of doubt
Or drope of weakness

Race of endless night
withot the choise
withou the backout

And we will fall
Into the gulf
Or we will rise
Like firewing birds X2

Callosity is crust your palms
Like oat of mail
And old scars from rapacious teeth
Are mark your fails

Couse wolves will tear you flash
In any minuite
If they will feel the smell of doubt
Or drope of weakness

Race of endless night
Withot the choise
Withou the backout

And we will fall
Into the gulf
Or we will rise
Like firewing birds X2

Someone is always deep into this race
Someone is praying for the rain
They pray for the shrive rain

Hold the rein tight and search the lighthouse




In this lunacy
Until the forks of flame won't stope the agony of running wheels

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Unsilent's song "Born Under A Bad Sign" is a vivid description of a dark journey. The singer is in some kind of chariot that is being pulled by seven wolves with red eyes. He is telling the driver to go faster, to make their way through the darkness. The guide is struggling to keep up, trying to blink away the fear and pain. The singer emphasizes the riskiness of this journey, as the reins are cutting the driver's hands to the bone. The sense of urgency is heightened by the suggestion that demons are whispering to them, trying to control their journey.


The second verse carries a similar sense of danger and violence. The singer describes the physical toll of this journey on the driver's body. The driver's palms have become calloused, like the crust of a pie, and he is covered in old scars from the wolves' teeth. The singer repeats again that the wolves will attack at any moment if they sense any doubt or weakness. Yet, he seems resigned to the fact that there is no way out of this race - they are bound to it without choice or backout. The final lines offer a choice: either they will fall into the gulf (perhaps an allusion to Hell), or they will rise like "firewing birds."


Overall, "Born Under A Bad Sign" is a song about a journey through darkness, danger, and perhaps even damnation. The singer and the driver are locked into a race that they cannot escape, with wolves snapping at their heels and demons whispering in their ears. It is a bleak, but ultimately enigmatic song that leaves much open to interpretation.

Burn fast my chariot
Let us move swiftly


Drawn by seven hungry redeyed wolves
We are led by fierce forces


Your guide is blinking
We are guided by instinct


Your rein is cuting to the bones
Our journey is painful and hard


Steep the darkness with my innate curse
Our path is cursed and shadowed


But fear the deamons
We must beware of our own inner demons


Who whispering about control
Tempting us to try to control the uncontrollable


Couse wolves will tear you flash
Danger is always lurking


In any minuite
At any moment

If we show any weakness


Or drope of weakness
Any sign of vulnerability


Race of endless night
Our journey is a never-ending struggle

We have no choice but to keep moving forward

We can't turn back

Or we might succeed


Like firewing birds X2
And soar free


Callosity is crust your palms
Our hands are rough and calloused


Like oat of mail
As hard as steel


And old scars from rapacious teeth
We are scarred from past battles


Are mark your fails
Reminding us of our losses


Someone is always deep into this race
There is always someone else struggling like us


Someone is praying for the rain
Someone else is hoping for salvation


They pray for the shrive rain
But we can't rely on external factors to save us


Hold the rein tight and search the lighthouse
We must stay focused and persevere


In this lunacy
Even if our journey seems crazy


Until the forks of flame won't stope the agony of running wheels
Until we can overcome our pain and suffering
