Identity Sequence
Zircon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some not yet begun.
But
For those who are forged of steel, spiritless,
I must lay the foundation.
There's a conscious defined
Wont to be free,
Calling to me.
But every time I look,
There's nothing there, no...
Still, I have to go on
Fighting my fear
Till the promise of dawn
Follows it here,
And an identity will rise.
One pulse wave of thought evolves.
It can't be undone.
If this current of life in my veins isn't real,
What lies on the horizon?
The lyrics to the song "Identity Sequence" by Zircon, point to the idea of forging one's identity or self, and the struggles involved in that process. The first two lines refer to different types of voices, with some speaking from a place of dreams and others still undiscovered. However, the following lines highlight that for those who lack a sense of spirit and strength, it's important to lay a foundation, which means that self-discovery is difficult but necessary.
The next stanza speaks about a deep desire for freedom, making it clear that the singer of the song is striving for an authentic sense of self. However, despite looking inward, the singer seems to find nothing, and this realization only fuels the battle against fear. The promise of the dawn points to hope, that one day their identity will rise. Finally, the last two lines question the nature of existence, and what it means to have a real sense of self.

Some voices are born of dreams -
Certain voices are inspired by one's imagination.
Some not yet begun.
Others have not yet been initiated.
But
However,
For those who are forged of steel, spiritless,
For those who lack a passionate sense of identity,
I must lay the foundation.
I must establish a sense of self for them.
There's a conscious defined
There is an awareness that is clearly specified,
Wont to be free,
Desiring to be liberated,
And it's deep in my mind,
And it's buried under my thoughts,
Calling to me.
Summoning me to listen.
But every time I look,
Yet whenever I search,
There's nothing there, no...
I find nothing of substance.
Still, I have to go on
Even so, I must persist
Fighting my fear
Defeating my anxiety
Till the promise of dawn
Until the potential of a new day
Follows it here,
Arrives to this reality,
And an identity will rise.
And a true sense of self will emerge.
One pulse wave of thought evolves.
A single idea or notion progresses and develops.
It can't be undone.
It cannot be eradicated.
If this current of life in my veins isn't real,
If this vitality coursing through me is an illusion,
What lies on the horizon?
What possibilities exist for my future?

Sounds awesome. I loved Impulse Prime and I feel this has more of those cyberpunk undertones. Keep up the good work!
