The song "Bound By The Horror" by Gost tells a story of fear, struggle, and the search for redemption. The lyrics depict a sense of being trapped in a haunting and unsettling situation. The opening lines "A story meant to last forever, You push and pull your weight together" suggest that the story being told is something that will endure and that the protagonist is actively trying to make things right. However, they feel restricted and unable to escape their circumstances, as mentioned in the lines "A far cry from what you wished would be a tether, Bound in fear you will weep forever." There are references to biblical figures such as Judas and Peter, which adds layers of religious symbolism to the song. "Kissing the cross you're under, won't reveal a happy ending, I can feel Judas now" implies that seeking solace or forgiveness through religious rituals alone may not provide the desired outcome. Similarly, "Tasting the sweat of Peter won't give you the peace you're after, I can raise you up now" suggests that even trying to emulate the efforts or sacrifices of others may not bring the desired peace or resolution. The lyrics also mention "The needful ones will beg forever, Outstretched and overlooked together" indicating a sense of desperation and abandonment. The protagonist feels overlooked and neglected despite their pleas for help. Overall, "Bound By The Horror" conveys a sense of being trapped, searching for redemption, and grappling with the fear and the consequences of one's actions. It encourages the listener to contemplate the limitations of external sources of salvation and emphasizes the need to look within oneself for peace and resolution.
