Enter
Within Temptation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now, its chains are broken
An ancient force unleashed again
As I enter the portal I feel the enchantment
It takes me away, away from here
Come near me,
Enter my private chambers
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
Light-in darkness, lift me up from here
Give me your wings,
To flee from my ivory tower
As I enter the portal
I feel the enchantment
The stars above are lying at my feet
Come near me,
Enter my private chambers
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
Light in darkness, lift me up from here
Give me your wings,
To flee from my ivory tower
The lyrics of Within Temptation's song Enter talks about opening of the gates of time and the breaking of its chains, an ancient force is unleashed and as the portal is entered, there is an overwhelming feeling of enchantment that takes the individual away from where they currently are. The singer requests for someone to come near, to enter into their private chambers, willing to feel the warmth on their face and experience the light in the darkness as it lifts them up from their current state. The singer then requests for wings to flee from their ivory tower as they feel the enchantment of the portal with the stars lying before their feet.
The song, Enter, can be interpreted in various ways. Some suggest that the portal represents an escape from reality, a place of refuge where the individual seeks safety and comfort from the harshness of the world. The portal could also symbolize a breakthrough, where the individual discovers something new, something that brings them out of their comfort zone and into a space of growth and possibility. The ivory tower refers to the individual's isolation and their willingness to break free from it.

The passage of time no longer exists and the way is clear for something new to happen.
Now, its chains are broken
Whatever was holding back this force has been overcome, and it is now free to roam.
An ancient force unleashed again
This is a power that has been dormant for some time, but is now released and active once again.
As I enter the portal I feel the enchantment
Upon entering this unknown place, I am struck by the magic and wonder of it all.
It takes me away, away from here
This experience is so powerful that it removes me from my present reality, transporting me to a new place entirely.
Come near me,
I am beckoning someone to approach me closely.
Enter my private chambers
I am inviting this person into a private space where we can be more intimate.
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
I desire to experience positive feelings and sensations.
Light-in darkness, lift me up from here
I am seeking enlightenment to help me rise above the negative aspects of my current situation.
Give me your wings,
I am asking this person for help and support.
To flee from my ivory tower
I am looking to escape my own preconceptions and escape my comfort zone.
The stars above are lying at my feet
I feel as though I am in a position of great power and control.

25 years later, this album remains in my opinion the pinnacle of the band discography. 25 years old and yet in its all prime!

I love within temptation no matter what style of music they do but this style, symphonic and gothic metal will forever be my choice to listen to when I’m down. It gives me chills. It’s dark and beautiful. Pure talent.
@herrsupersmart
I miss the old style of Within Temptation.

@Nutriólogo Mauricio Ramírez Well support the band on the official page its too easy. To dont buy cd dont stream legally on their channel and complain because they had to change the style to have more loyal fans. Its a job to eat. Doom metal its hard to sell. So support the music you like.
