Epica - Unleashed Lyrics






Declining, all color fading
Defining, time coming for me
Rescinding, my inspiration
Receding consciousness

Back in the day, I can recall that,
My thoughts were unclouded and sage
There was no black staining the walls of my memories
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways
And leaving me nothing to gain
Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity

Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free

Color declines, all that defines me
Is falling away, far behind
Nothing to keep me with the time, the here and now

Where am I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Yearning again only to be myself

When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free

Time is just a concept
And always the first thing to fade
Agony and weakness
Nothing we can never evade
Years are cruel, they break us
Bringing on decay and despair
Awareness and perception
Something we can never repair

Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no more losing
Save me, near me, help me, hear me
No more heartache, no misery
Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no agony
Save me, near me, help me, hear me
No more heartache, no despairing (We despair)
Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no repairing (No repair)

Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing
Give me power to break out
I can't hold on for any longer
My time has come to end it all

No one to blame, fate's only random
It's nothing we'll ever explain
So it remains

Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself
Free

When will I be unleashed?
It's not the way it should be
Yearning again only to be myself
When I'm free

Unleash my consciousness

When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free

  34. T.... ....

    Who's here in 2019?

  35. A.... F....

    this is my favorite song of Epica. And my favorite video, i'd wish was in HD.

  36. B.... N....

    I love this song but the video is kinda corny.

  37. N.... A....

    This is quite the twist:
    In some cases, you stalk the bad
    In this situation, the band stalks you

  38. d.... c....

    Dear God, I have a question for you ... why is Simone Simons so beautiful? Why does he have the voice of an angel? ... or better yet, why did you send one of your angels to this earth? Simone Simons is an angel and we humans do not deserve it

    d.... c....

    Love her beauty and such purity in Phanton Agony studio live.

  39. B.... N....

    I never understood this video

    B.... N....

    Pretty sure it's about a killer who can't control his actions. And he doesn't actually want to hurt anyone but someone (evil) is pressuring him

  40. B.... B....

    Soooo, supposedly he does not like that behind him stand ghost and follow him everywhere ? Heh, so what ? So what? Yes there is a little problem to shit opposite her, it's a bit uncomfortable, but in other case its fun to have a fan, and not bored, if only she brought beer, every time she appear, that - would be awesome

  41. A.... S....

    lindíssima

  42. G.... P....

    Why dave mustain on drums?

  43. O.... ....

    5:31 Looks like a rapist, xDee.

  44. J.... C....

    Quien aquí Abla español

  45. k.... ....

    Ep!c∆ ... Comeback to Chicago Land (Gotham City) please !!!

  46. D.... A....

    This song give me an erection

  47. Z.... B....

    I don't understand the link between the first and the second part. Can someone explain to me ?

    Z.... B....

    People said that the concept is similar to Six Sense movie, it's too abstract to me

  48. A.... C....

    IS 2124 and i listen to this song :v

  49. B.... C....

    at first glance, I thought 2:28 whoa! that not lana del rey? loll! bravo yoL!

  52. V.... U....

    Can someone please explain to me the video?
    So some bloke is seriously wounded in his apartment by I guess a thief, presumably because of that he gets hallucinations of a mysterious woman (and her henchmen) and finally ends up in asylum where he is finished by the said woman (and her henchmen).
    What did he do to deserve it?

    Music is great though.

    V.... U....

    This is my personal interpretation: Dude is not wounded, he is killed (says so in the newspaper at the end of the video). He's dead but he doesn't know it, that's why his wife/girlfriend doesn't seem to acknowledge him when he tries to bring the "spirit" to her attention. Since he doesn't know he's dead, he goes about his "life" as normal, cause he still has things to do, places to go and everything a person worries about in their daily life. In the video, Simone and the guys represent death and the cycle that repeats itself once a person dies. The lyrics of the song make reference to being free and having no regrets, but that will only happen when you let go of the burdens you carry that are not yours or are simply out of your reach to solve. In the video they represent that with the ghost of the dude clinging to life, and since he can't/won't let himself go, he loses his mind in the asylum, essentialy becoming a lost soul

  53. O.... A....

    2019 <3

  54. d.... m....

    awesome song - cheesy video.

  55. G.... G....

    5:30 *Ya vali vrg*

  56. S.... V....

    Can anyone explain what this clip is about?

    S.... V....

    This is my personal interpretation: Dude is killed in his appartment.

    Keep hiding
    All colors fading
    Desiring
    They're coming for me
    Receiving my inspiration
    Receiving
    Back in the day, I can recall
    That my thist for un-clarity and saint
    There was no black stain in the walls of my memories
    Now there's a haste pushing me sideways
    And leaving me nothing to gain
    Taking me back, locking me close in disparity
    Where was I meant to be?
    I'm feeling lost in a dream
    Long for the day I can be myself
    When I'm free
    When my sun has set
    Release myself forever
    I have no regrets
    To be free
    I'm existing again
    No, I'm lost endeavors
    Nothing to concern
    When I'm free
    Call a decline
    Slowly defines me
    Is falling away far behind
    Nothing to keep me with the time
    The here and now
    Where am I meant to be?
    I'm feeling lost in a dream
    Yearning again only to be myself
    When I'm free
    When my sun has set
    Release myself forever
    I have no regrets
    To be free
    I'm existing again
    No, I'm lost endeavors
    Nothing to concern
    When I'm free
    Time's just a concept
    And always the first thing to fade
    (no more heartache, no deserving)
    Hiding in weakness
    Nothing we can ever refrain
    Years are cruel, they break us
    Ruling on decay and despair (no despairing)
    Cowardice of perception
    Something we can never repair (no repairing)
    No one to blame
    Way from the render
    There's nothing we'll ever explain
    So it remains
    Where was I meant to be?
    I'm feeling lost in a dream
    Long for the day I can be myself (free)
    When will I be unleashed?
    There's nothing I need to be
    Yearning again only to be myself
    Free
    When my sun has set
    Release myself forever
    I have no regrets to be free
    I'm existing again
    No, I'm lost endeavors
    Nothing to concern
    When I'm free

  58. A.... H....

    The guitarists act as if they play Death Metal.

    Looks stupid when all you do is churning out tepid riffs Țepeș would impale you for committing to tape.

    A.... H....

    You are a moron.

  59. E.... H....

    Proud of our dutch goddesses: Floor Jansen, Charlotte Wessels, Sharon van den Adel, Simone Simons!!! Me lucky guy, have seen them all!!

    E.... H....

    You forgotten Anneke van Giersbergen - to be precise... BTW: It must be something in water I suppose...

  60. E.... H....

    4:47 Oooo what a power!

  61. S.... G....

    Really Love the video, I hear as well as see Ghosts of many living as well dead. The SUN is the MOON is the Earth is the SKIN is all PLANTS ( DRUGS ) etc. You Don't Need To Cook Carrot. You Do Need To Cook Potato.... If You Decide To Continue Eating That Part Of YOUR MAKER.. SAVE OUR BURIED. SAVE OUR SUN-GOD That Many On This Earth Serve. STOP ADDING WEIGHT TO OUR UNIVERSE... PUMP UP THE VOLUME NASA. Peace Brothers and Sisters. Burn the plants, I'll put you away!

    That's for sure the best song from the Design Your Universe album. Listening to this song only one time is never enough to me. Simone's voice in the final part is just amazing.

  68. K.... ....

    The vocalist possesses rare beauty and a sweet smile :)

  70. M.... A....

    Once I fell asleep while listening to Epica with my earphones on and I remember suddenly waking up around 4:45. I swear it was a transcendental experience, I felt like my whole body was vulnerable to absorb the greatness of this song.
