Benthic: The Origin of Our Wishes Lyrics
We are now on the threshold
Hold your breath and close your eyes
This is what you have been hoping
And waiting for all your life
But don't have any illusions:
I will not forgive you
And the worst thing is
That you won't ever forgive yourself for this
There's no one here
No one can harm them here
Oh God...
Hold your breath and close your eyes
And waiting for all your life
I will not forgive you
That you won't ever forgive yourself for this
No one can harm them here
Oh God...

It's about finally, after a long an arduous journey through the layers of your subconscious mind, reaching the core of your psyche or your libido. Or rather, if the journey is to be compared to its inspirational material, the Tarkovsky film "Stalker", it's about finally reaching the "room", where your deepest, most subconscious wish will be granted to you. (Many of the lyrics themselves are quoted or paraphrased from the film itself.)
The very ending of the lyrics suggests a bleak ending, where the person involved finally reaches rock bottom on an irreversible journey to get all the answers...only to find nothing or no-one there, rendering all that they have sacrificed to make it to the end--that is, they have sacrificed everything--utterly pointless. Alternately, they discover EXACTLY what they desire most...only to go mad from the realization.
