Adagio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My murderer stand in silence outside
Above the bed slurring white shapes, they're watching me
I can already hear how much I'm dead
As if I had the will to cross the line
I'm getting on my feet, sweating cold, tearing eyes
Making love with ghosts before I leave
How long will it take?
So long do I'll wait
Before the angels say my name
How long will it take?
So long do I'll wait
Deep down the demons spread their flames
The air is pure I'm feeling strong
Look at me now
And describe only what your heart can see
Am I made of black, am I made of white
I need to know
In order to show my soul where to go
As if I had the will to cross the line
I'm getting on my feet, sweating cold, tearing eyes
Making love with ghosts before I leave
Such an intense moment of time
I envy those who lives without their lost
I should not regret
I admire the suns rising over the hills
Magic....
These lyrics convey a sense of unease and inner turmoil. The singer is behind walls, and feels the weight of ancient crimes. They are aware of a possible murderer outside, and they are being watched by shapes that they perceive as white. They are aware of their own impending death, which they can hear coming. Despite this, the singer seems compelled to cross a line, and they stand up, sweating and with tearing eyes. They seem to be making peace with their own mortality, making love with ghosts before they leave. They are conscious of the passage of time, and the long wait before they are called by the angels. In the meantime, the demons seem to be spreading their flames.
The singer is seeking clarity and a sense of direction. They are asking someone to describe what they see, in order to better understand themselves. They ask whether they are made of black or white, indicating a desire to know the nature of their own soul. Despite their awareness of impending death and regret for losses in their life, they are also able to admire the beauty of the sunrise. These lyrics speak to a human struggle to understand oneself and make peace with one's own mortality.

Behind the walls I feel the scenes of ancient crimes
I sense the remnants of past wrongdoings lurking behind these barriers
My murderer stand in silence outside
The one who will end my life remains quiet just beyond my reach
Above the bed slurring white shapes, they're watching me
Blurry forms hover over me while I rest, silently observing my movements
I can already hear how much I'm dead
I can sense my impending demise and how close it is to taking me
As if I had the will to cross the line
It feels like I have the drive to push past my limits
I'm getting on my feet, sweating cold, tearing eyes
I rise from my bed, drenched in a cold sweat with tears streaming down my face
Making love with ghosts before I leave
I am embracing the memories of those who have departed before me before I depart myself
Such an intense moment of time
These feelings and experiences are so overwhelming and powerful
How long will it take?
I wonder how much time I have left on this Earth
So long do I'll wait
I am willing to patiently wait for my fate to come to fruition
Before the angels say my name
I anticipate the arrival of the divine messengers who will call me by name
Deep down the demons spread their flames
Dark forces are stirring within me, spreading their fiery influence
The air is pure I'm feeling strong
The atmosphere is fresh and invigorating, and I feel empowered
Look at me now
Take a good look at who I am in this moment
And describe only what your heart can see
Use the eyes of your spirit to see beyond the surface of me
Am I made of black, am I made of white
Is my essence dark or light?
I need to know
I crave the knowledge of my true nature
In order to show my soul where to go
So I can guide my spirit on the path it needs to follow
I envy those who lives without their lost
I am envious of those who have not experienced the loss of loved ones
I should not regret
Despite my feelings of longing and sadness, I must not dwell in regret
I admire the suns rising over the hills
I find solace in the beauty of nature, especially the sunrise over the hills in the distance
Magic....
