| Im surprised no one notices the christian reference. I think he's talking about heaven and how that this world is nothing because you eventually move on to a godly state in heaven. It really sounds like some pretty devout dark christian views, great song. | |

----- continuation Now he is a better person through his trials ready to take on anything. This is a classic story of os spiritual enlightenement. Biblical allusions and references can be seen here. In Buddhisim this parallels the story of Siddartha Guatama and his path through adversity to ultimate Nirvana and enlightenment. There can be likenesses seen with the story of jesus christ with his crucifixation and ensuing ressurerection and godliness and holiness that comes with coming back to life. Great song amazing band. I saw them with Trivium machine head and lamb of god. At the time i never heard of them and liked the sound but didnt realize how amazing they were. looking back i see how amazing they played and that they are an extremley talented band. Watch out for Gojira they comin thru |

This song is definilty about someone's transformation or spritual journey within. The first verse is introducing the situation. A person laying on a rock alive and aware of the cold reality of his ignorance. He wants to free himself from what he was and break barriers that people don't normally break. The next verse starts his journey out with engaging his enlightenment, going to the stars, symbols for dreams or goals. He then faces the wind and must stand in the face of people trying to use fear and power to create madness and manipulate the stupid masses. The man on the journey must look past this and realize how and what the antagonist is trying to do to him. Once he defeats this he becomes enlightened. The last verse just talks about how he is enlightened hence Inexhaustible, not able to run out of drive "strength of fire is running through me" hes now empowered by his transformation. Now he is unchained by the ways of the old. His backbone straightens and becomes much better than what he was. Before he was hunched over a symbol for being ingorant and hampered. |
