There's No Way Back
Dancing with Darkness: Confronting Midnight Souls and the Unseen
Lyrics
Midnight souls, the world so quiet
Setting the scene at midnight, emphasizing the quietness of the world.
Dreams turn dark, and you’re alone
Transition into a darker atmosphere where dreams become unsettling, and isolation is felt.
Don’t say a word, you’ll wake the creature
Caution against speaking, as it may disturb an ominous presence or feeling.
Voices stir from the unknown
Imagery of mysterious voices emerging from the unknown, creating an eerie ambiance.
Now you’re awake
Repeated expression of facing a challenging or sinister situation, possibly a metaphorical encounter with the devil.
Face to face
-With the devil
-Now you’re awake
-Face to face
-With the devil
-And there’s no way back
Emphasis on the irreversible nature of the situation, suggesting a point of no return.
Oh, there’s no way back
-Oh, there’s no way back
-Oh, there’s no way back
-Take a walk through the small hours
Encouragement to explore difficult times, possibly during the night or metaphorically in challenging phases of life.
Strange eyes wake, watching you close
Introduction of the concept of being observed by unknown entities, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Don’t say a word, you’ll wake the creature
Reiteration of the need for silence, hinting at the fragility of the current state.
Night birds loom over your ghost
Imagery of night birds, possibly symbolic of ominous forces, looming over the person's spirit or consciousness.
Now you’re awake
Reiteration of the confrontation with the devil, emphasizing the intensity and inescapability of the situation.
Face to face
-With the devil
-Now you’re awake
-Face to face
-With the devil
-And there’s no way back
Confirmation of the irreversibility, emphasizing that there is no way to retreat from the current state.
Oh, the night terror takes you
Introduction of the concept of "night terror," reinforcing the haunting and inescapable nature of the experience.
Oh, there’s no way back
-Night terror takes you
