Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Irr'führende Fata Morgana
Glühende Sonne
Ich gehe einen weglosen Weg
Glühende Wüste
Irr'führende Fata Morgana
Glühende Sonne
Bis ans Ende der Welt
Bis ans Ende meines Willens
Endlose Reise
Der Gipfel ist in Wolken
Bis ans Ende der Welt
Bis ans Ende meines Willens
Endlose Reise
Der Gipfel ist in Wolken
Viele Bäume halten Licht ab
Sie rauschen
Sie leiten
Im Nebel geh ich tastend
Das ist Schicksal
Sowohl Licht wie auch Schatten
Das ist mein Schicksal
Es ist die Zeit, dass ich entscheide
Das ist Schicksal
Sowohl Licht wie auch Schatten
Das ist mein Schicksal
Es ist die Zeit, dass ich entscheide
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
Veränderliches Schicksal
Veränderliches Fatum
Veränderliches Schicksal
Veränderliches Fatum
Veränderliches Schicksal
Glühende Wüste
Irr'führende Fata Morgana
Glühende Sonne
Ich gehe einen weglosen Weg
Glühende Wüste
Irr'führende Fata Morgana
Glühende Sonne
Ich gehe einen weglosen Weg
The song "MARKS" by 澤野弘之 (Hiroyuki Sawano) is an introspective reflection on one's journey through life that is full of ups and downs, successes and failures, and moments of clarity and confusion. The singer talks about walking on a pathless path through a scorching desert landscape where even illusions, like the mirage of a Fata Morgana, can be misleading. But in spite of the challenges and uncertainties, the singer is determined to reach the peak, which is shrouded in clouds and seems to represent the ultimate goal or purpose of his journey.
However, the journey is not without its obstacles. The singer notes that many trees seem to block his path and swallow the light, but they also provide guidance with their rustling and help him navigate through the mist. He realizes that his fate is shaped by both light and shadow, and that it is up to him to make decisions that will determine his destiny.
Overall, "MARKS" is a hopeful but also sobering song that highlights the transformative power of perseverance, resilience, and self-determination in the face of adversity. It also underscores the importance of accepting and reconciling with both the positive and negative aspects of one's life story, and finding meaning and purpose in the midst of uncertainty and change.
