The Lost Way
Unsun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What can I do when I have no more power
To find the faith by sorrow devoured.
What can I say when hopes slowly fade
To again light the fire that got lost on the way.

How much more can I take?
What will come with the new day?
How much defeat, how many tears?
You need to cut all the thorns that pierce.
How many tears?
How much more can I take?
What will come with the new day?
How much defeat, how many tears?
You need to cut all the thorns that pierce.
How many tears?

What can I do, which way to go
To save myself, the last good thought.
What can I say when I'm out of breath,
Unable to find the key to cheat death.

How much more can I take?
What will come with the new day?
How much defeat, how many tears?
You need to cut all the thorns that pierce.
How many tears?
How much more can I take?

What will come with the new day?
How much defeat, how many tears?
You need to cut all the thorns that pierce.
How many tears?

What can I do when time runs like it's insane,
When old wounds are washed with acid again.
What can I say when the mocking world's power
Tears my heart into pieces like a fragile flower.
What can I do when I have no more power
To find the faith by sorrow devoured.
What can I say when hopes slowly fade
To again light the fire that got lost on the way.

How much more can I take?
What will come with the new day?
How much defeat, how many tears?
You need to cut all the thorns that pierce.
How many tears?
How much more can I take?
What will come with the new day?
How much defeat, how many tears?




You need to cut all the thorns that pierce.
How many tears?

Overall Meaning

The song "The Lost Way" by Unsun is a reflection on the struggles and hardships of life, particularly the feeling of being overwhelmed and powerless in the face of adversity. The first verse expresses a sense of hopelessness and despair, with the singer questioning what to do when they have lost all their strength and faith. They long for a way to reignite the fire within them that has been lost along the way.


The chorus repeats the question of how much more the singer can endure, and wonders what the new day will bring. They acknowledge that there have been many defeats and tears, but suggest that the only way forward is to cut away the thorns that pierce and cause pain. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer searching for a way to save themselves and find a glimmer of hope even when they feel out of breath and unable to cheat death.


The final verse describes a world that feels hostile and mocking, with old wounds being opened again and the singer's heart being torn like a fragile flower. Despite the overwhelming nature of this reality, the song concludes with a call to persist, to once again light the fire that has been lost and continue forward, even in the face of defeat and tears.

I just discovered this band, and I think they're amazing! Love this song... especially the riffs and the piano... It's kind of like a combination of In This Moment with Within Temptation, if you ask me. Also, this is the first Polish act I've heard, and I'm quite impressed. :)

Dark Exordium

Great voice. Very cool.
