Swan
A Forest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming from there where's no life's remained
Only the glow reflecting in the eyes of phrentics
By the name of LEGION
In the imperishable area of heaths, woods and lakes
They've been cradled by
Is so perfect for magic marvelous dance
Moonlight chaplet have faded out
No sound of their speech meets an ear
... And the rapture that I've been filled with hath turned into the
Brilliant dew
To wash the blood off my face
When I came back
The dawn was so silver and so golden is the dusk upon the meadows
Splashed with poppies
Where I've lost myself looking for tomorrow...
One day like countless times in sleep
I'll come to the wall
That hides the abyss beyond...
To overcome it on the black wings my hands turn into
I'm the one who was gifted by his
Sable Majesty
And the spirit transfigures...
By the grace of your black astral world I have been bewitched
And now on my bended knees I am praying
"For Thine is the Kingdom"...
...I know they've died and turned into the Black Swans
To dance on the forest lake in silver mist and sorrowful grace...
The song "Swan" by A Forest is a poetic and mystical journey through a world that exists in the intersection of life and death. The lyrics bring to life the imagery of a temple of the evening sun where only the glow reflecting in the eyes of phrentics remains. The listener is then transported to the imperishable area of heaths, woods, and lakes where they have been cradled by something perfect for an enchanting dance. The magical dance is so beautiful that it leaves no place to be, and the moonlight chaplet fades out. The song then takes a dark turn as the singer is filled with a rapture that turns into brilliant dew. He then washes the blood off his face, and as dawn comes in, he finds himself lost looking for tomorrow amidst golden dusk and the splashing of poppies.
However, the lyrics aren't just about the present. The song's bridge conveys the hopelessness of the future as the singer dreams of reaching the wall that hides the abyss beyond. He intends to overcome it on the black wings his hands turn into, as he is the one who was gifted by his Sable Majesty. The spirit then transfigures, signifying the transition from the transitory world to something beyond. The song ends with the singer confessing that he has been bewitched by the grace of a black astral world, and he is now on his bended knees praying "For Thine is the Kingdom" as he knows that those he once loved have died and turned into the Black Swans.
