Voyager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stands proud and tall at night
For I am the deceiver
I’m the one who never died
Burn the light of treason
Stand proud and tall at night
For I am the deceiver
I’m the one who never died
But I feigned to be the light
Now I’m the one that grieves
A septicemia of fear
The stones of tears I heave
Take off your mask, Reveal the truth
Pretend that I can’t see…
Don’t be afraid now to open your eyes
The time is so right for you to realise
Uncover the madness, the bravest of tasks
Show me the face that is behind your mask
Cries of sin, a battle to see
I was the traitor now what will I be?
Fight the lies inside me
A shimmer of hope is about to be free
The lyrics to Voyager's song Monument speak to the theme of deception and facing one's own inner demons. The opening lines paint a picture of a monument that represents a grievance, standing tall in the darkness of night. It becomes clear throughout the song that the singer is the source of this grievance, as they confess to being the deceiver who never truly died. The imagery of "burning the light of treason" echoes the idea that the singer has been living a double life, portraying themselves as light but hiding their true darkness.
The second stanza continues with this theme of deception and fear, describing the singer as someone who has been living with a "septicemia of fear." They are weighed down by the stones of tears they have shed, implying a deep sense of guilt and regret. The chorus then breaks in, urging the listener to take off their mask and reveal their true selves. The singer implores the listener not to be afraid to open their eyes and realize the truth.
The final stanza speaks to the internal battle that the singer is now facing within themselves. They acknowledge being a traitor, but now must fight the lies inside. The song ends on a hopeful note, with a shimmer of hope about to be free. Overall, the lyrics to Monument are a powerful exploration of the struggle between light and darkness within oneself, and the courage it takes to face the truth.
