Angina
Tristania Lyrics

The lyrics of Tristania's song Angina are open to interpretation but some possible meanings can be inferred based on the images and language used in the text. The first line "Through scornful declarence and lumnious eyes" suggests a character who is confident and proud, maybe even arrogant, and has glowing eyes that could imply supernatural powers or intensity of feeling. The second line "The shadows enveil with the glorious night" implies a dark or mysterious setting, where shadows cover the landscape and the night is described as glorious, perhaps highlighting the beauty in darkness.

The third line "Trespassing the sunset like thou hast before" hints at a repetition of a previous action, but not necessarily in a negative or positive way. The fourth line "Entreating the daylight to rage nevermore" suggests a desire to avoid the harshness or exposure of daylight, and perhaps embrace the soothing or obscure nature of night. The chorus repeats the phrase "Angina striking Elysium" which could be interpreted as an illness or affliction affecting the divine or heavenly realm.

The following lines "A frail remembrance glorificates, The nightside-ascendance, Veiled underneath thy funereal skies" hint at themes of mortality and the afterlife, as well as the contrast between light and dark, life and death. The fifth line "The winds they may haunt me in bloodredest skies, The moon may bewed the strangest of light" describes the haunting or unsettling atmosphere of the skies, and the unpredictability of the moon's light. The sixth line "The clasp of indifference the conquering tide, The sweeping of daylight...my vigour's decline" suggests a sense of apathy or indifference as a powerful force that can overcome or reduce vitality. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "Thy Carrion Kind, Angina strikes Elysium...a frail remembrance, Carrion Kind, My Carrion Kind" which could symbolize the inevitability of death and decay, and the acceptance or embracing of it.
