Through The Wind

Laika: Aged Through Blood's song 'Through The Wind' is a powerful anthem about overcoming fears and embracing freedom. The lyrics delve into the internal struggles and external pressures that hold individuals back from achieving their true potential. The opening lines, 'Everything you wanted and prayed for / Who called to set you free,' suggest a yearning for liberation and the pursuit of dreams. However, the subsequent lines, 'But all those things you are so afraid of / I'm going away,' highlight the fears and anxieties that often accompany such aspirations.

The recurring theme of being haunted by fears, 'They haunt you to stay / Here / They haunt you to leave you,' underscores the internal conflict between staying in a comfort zone and venturing into the unknown. The song encourages listeners to trust their instincts and take decisive action, as evidenced by the lines, 'So trust all your steps and leave / Get on the road / Pull out your guns and / Drive through it.' This metaphor of driving through obstacles with determination and courage serves as a rallying cry for self-empowerment.

The chorus, 'Do you realize what's greater than life and / You follow the Sun,' suggests a higher purpose or calling that transcends mundane existence. The imagery of following the Sun symbolizes enlightenment, hope, and the pursuit of one's true path. The mention of 'Memories are flickering and flashing / Filled up with all beliefs' reflects the importance of past experiences and beliefs in shaping one's journey. The scars mentioned in the lyrics, 'And don't the scars that paint where you came from / Are going away,' signify the lessons learned and the resilience gained from overcoming past challenges. Ultimately, 'Through The Wind' is a song about embracing change, trusting oneself, and courageously pursuing one's dreams despite the fears and obstacles that may arise.
