Lost Lyrics

Cover art for Lost lyrics by Neurosis

"Cycles" may mean cycle of life repeating itself. "Fixed sight" means realization of this concept and also realization that sacrifices need to be done (in order to escape this cycle?). But he(lyrics hero) always takes the bait, not making the sacrifices and obeys sinful human nature. "Thinking I can summon some ancient truth before wrong" - the hero cannot find the truth of human nature. The last four lines emphasize this cycle of life and death and described persona cannot escape it. Hence the name of the song - Lost.
