Monsters of the Deep
Exploring the Conscience's Journey Beyond Familiar Shores
Lyrics
Is there a promised land
Questioning the existence of a better place or purpose.
Or am I on the journey going to nowhere?
Doubting if the journey has any meaningful destination.
Are the streets paved with gold
Wondering if there's wealth or prosperity in the destination.
Or am I slipping on the mold
Uncertainty or discomfort in the environment.
That slowly grows there?
Describing the gradual, unpleasant growth of something undesirable.
Every man has his conscience
Every individual has a moral compass or sense of right and wrong.
Sanity left along the way
People losing their rationality or mental stability during their journey.
Carried in this vessel
Metaphorically carried within one's being.
Setting forth together now
Starting a collective journey with others.
Out towards the monsters of the deep
Heading towards great challenges or dangers.
Set your sights on rocky shores
Advising to aim for difficult or hazardous situations.
You just might run aground on the reef
Warning about potential obstacles or dangers.
Journey's in the destination, mention fear
Emphasizing fear as a significant part of the journey.
You're falling on deaf ears
Expressions of concern being disregarded or ignored.
Every man has his conscience
Reiteration of everyone having moral awareness.
Sanity left along the way
Similar to line 8, alluding to mental instability.
Carried in this vessel
Same as line 9, internalizing moral values.
Setting forth together now
Continuation of a collective journey despite challenges.
Out towards the monsters of the deep
Repeating the pursuit of significant difficulties or dangers.
Left along the way
Reiterating the loss of stability or rationality.
Carried in this vessel
Reemphasizing internalized moral values.
Setting forth together now
Continuation of the collective journey with the internal values.
Out towards the monsters of the deep
Repeating the movement towards great challenges or dangers.
Monsters of the deep, oh
Final emphasis on the significant dangers or challenges.
