Through The Glass

Angelus Apatrida's song "Through The Glass" delves into the themes of fear, self-delusion, and the struggle to confront one's reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person trapped in a cycle of deception and bitterness, unable to break free from the distorted reality they have created for themselves. The recurring imagery of looking through the glass symbolizes a barrier between the individual and the truth, suggesting a sense of detachment and blindness to their own situation.

The song explores the consequences of living a life consumed by jealousy and lies. The lines "Consumed with jealousy, trapped under a distorted reality" and "Voices comfort whispering lies" highlight the internal conflict and the false sense of security that comes from believing in these deceptions. The mention of "rotting bodies" and "endless sacrifice" adds a dark, almost apocalyptic tone, emphasizing the destructive nature of these lies and the toll they take on one's soul.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the individual is on a journey of self-discovery, albeit a painful one. The repeated phrase "We're eyeless in the journey while looking through the glass" suggests a sense of helplessness and lack of direction. However, there is also a glimmer of hope in the lines "Release your past, light up the dark path," indicating that breaking free from these chains of self-delusion is possible. The song ultimately serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of confronting one's fears and the lies we tell ourselves, in order to find true clarity and freedom.
