Through Eyes Unclouded
xRepentancex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Death's strangle hold of suffocation
As the calf is ripped from her side
Into the realm of dead and dying
Where compassions deadened by a lie

All pain and suffering ignored
For the price of commodity
The truth of mankind's injustice
Hidden in shrouds of decay
The blood stained hands of destruction
As millions are stripped of their lives
The screams of torment extinguished
By the kiss of a butchers knife

To see through eyes unclouded
The slaughter for selfish gain
The bloodlust of countless masses
The cries that will go on in vain

To see through eyes unclouded
The slaughter selfish gain
The blood lust of rabid masses
The eternal mechanics of pain

DEMONS on the killing floor,
Extinguishing THE LIVES OF THE INNOCENT.

Whispered lies of industry
Built on bones of lesser things .

Blood stained lips salivate
Hiding sheaths of serpent's teeth




Self induced cataplexy
As you rot from the inside.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of xRepentancex's song "Through Eyes Unclouded" are powerful and emotive, conveying a message of animal rights and the horrors of the meat industry. The opening lines paint a vivid and disturbing picture of the violence and cruelty inflicted upon cattle as they are separated from their calves and sent to slaughter. The lyrics suggest that the human capacity for compassion has been dulled by a lie – perhaps the lie of justifying animal exploitation and considering them as mere commodities.


The song then makes a broader commentary on the suffering of all animals and the human role in perpetrating this injustice. The lyrics point out that in the pursuit of profit, we turn a blind eye to the suffering and death of millions of animals. The imagery of blood-stained hands and slaughtered masses is particularly poignant and disturbing.


The chorus underscores the importance of seeing through "eyes unclouded" and recognizing the true cost of our actions. It encourages listeners to break free from the societal conditioning that has normalized animal exploitation and to recognize the senseless violence of the meat industry. The final lines of the song paint a picture of rotting from the inside, perhaps suggesting the moral decay and corruption that occurs when we ignore the suffering of others.
