No One There
Sentenced Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The feeling there really is no more hope
The thought of the great unknown
And facing it alone
The dark, the silent and the cold
The feeling I have come to the end of my road
Yes, these are the things I spend
My remaining moments with
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Why did it have to be so hard
For us to live our lives
Again I reach out in the dark in despair
The desperation and the snow
The feeling of finally coming back home
The melancholy and the hole in the soil so hard and cold
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Your love for me, my love for you
Things we somehow managed to lose
Now there´s only the ruthless wind
To blow right through
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
To think we both will die alone
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there

No One There
Sentenced
The axe, the bottle, and the rope
The feeling there really is no more hope

Yes these are the things I spend my remaining moments with
And the wind blows through my heart

‟No One There ” by Sentenced
The axe, the bottle and the rope
The feeling there really is no more hope
The thought of the great unknown
And facing it alone
斧、酒瓶、そしてロープ
「希望」が無い...
（最愛の君を喪う） 大いなる 未知の感情
其れに 独りで 向き合う
The dark, the silent and the cold
The feeling I have come to the end of my road
Yes, these are the things I spend
My remaining moments with
暗闇、沈黙、そして冷気
【道の終わり】まで来た感覚。
そうだな。これこそが 【我が人生】を費やして来た事
俺達に残された時間はわずか…
*1
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
そして 北風は 俺の心を吹きぬける
最後に もう一度 俺の心を震わせて呉れ
今暗がりから 手を伸ばしても
其処には誰も居ない
Why did it have to be so hard
For us to live our lives
Again I reach out in the dark in despair
俺たちが 日々を生きるのに、
何故、そんなに辛い想いをするのだろう
もう一度 俺は絶望して 暗闇から手を伸ばす
The desperation and the snow
The feeling of finally coming back home
The melancholy and the hole in the soil so hard and cold
自暴自棄と雪 そして我が家に帰って来たと言う感覚
憂鬱と、ひどく硬く冷えた土(心)に ぽっかり空いた穴
*1 repeat
Your love for me, my love for you
Things we somehow managed to lose
Now there´s only the ruthless wind
To blow right through
俺たちの愛 それは 俺たちが全力で
守り抜いたはずの物
今は 無慈悲な風が吹くだけ
嗚呼、只、吹き過ぎてゆくだけさ
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
To think we both will die alone
それは俺の心を凍りつかせる、
絶望に打ちひしがれた心を
俺たちは 二人とも孤独に死ぬだろう
*1 repeat

This song tears my eyes up every time. The video makes it that much stronger. My grandmother passed away in 2013 due to complications from dementia and Is Alzheimer's.

This is one of Sentenced's best songs and music video. It is what happened to my grandparents. Grandma, always happy, always doing good deeds for everyone got dementia. She started to forget small things, then bigger things, medication didn't help. She forgot newest things first. Like her grandchildren.
My grandpa did his best to take care of her. He had to put locks on doors inside, since she kept walking out and getting lost, two times a search helicopter was needed. It was a difficult decission for my grandfather to put her in a nursing home. Love of his life. Over 60 years together. And she couldn't remember him in the end. Yet he kept visiting her, hoping that maybe on a good day she remembers. On a way back home, he died at the front door of the home. He died alone. Few years later grandma died. Alone. And we, the relatives were relieved. Sad and angry, but relieved that her over a decade long suffering ended.
Dementia and alzheimer are the worst. You lose the person you love first but the human is still here. My grandmother never get to know my girlfriend who became my wife nor she knew my children. Yet they knew her and were at her funeral. It was difficult to make a memorial speach, because all the good memories with her were so long ago. It was difficult to find words. Our family friend, their neighbour did it best. He had put together a photo album on power point from all the good times they had together. He was a photographer, so he also took photos of ordinary things. The last photo was both grandparents stanging in front of a flowery field, smiling, happy as ever. The way we all remembered them.

memory loss aka Alzheimer/dementia is always painfull to process/withstand... Forgetting things that shouldnt be forgotten pains the most :/
