The Search
Adagio (Brazil) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cross secret passages
Wolves thirsty for blood
pursues me
World of illusions wich tortures me
Earth time farther from you
Far from everything
Dark and gloomy night
Walking through strange places
Searching for my love
My soul lost
Far from this rotten world
Where everything is purer and farther
I try to find you in the silence of the night
Broken silence
A shout in the dark
A voice whispers about your pain
The lyrics of Adagio's song The Search express feelings of loneliness and longing for someone who is physically and emotionally distant. The singer walks through secret passages and strange places, pursued by wolves thirsty for blood, as if he is trying to escape from something or find someone. He describes the world as an illusion that tortures him, and time on Earth as moving further away from his loved one. The singer feels lost, searching for his love and soul in the darkness of the night. However, despite the noise and chaos of the world, a broken silence is shattered by a shout in the dark, and a voice whispers about her pain. This suggests that the singer is not alone in his search, that there is someone out there who is also struggling.
In summary, The Search is a song about the search for love, meaning, and understanding in a world that often feels alienating and cruel. The lyrics are poetic and emotive, conveying the sense of both desperation and hope that comes with such a search.

Dark and gloomy night
The beginning of a scary night
I cross secret passages
Going through hidden ways
Wolves thirsty for blood
Dangerous predators chasing me
pursues me
Following me relentlessly
World of illusions which tortures me
A world of deceit and deceitfulness, causing me pain
Earth time farther from you
Lost in time without you
Far from everything
Isolated from everyone else
And closer to our souls
Bringing us closer to our true selves
Walking through strange places
Wandering in unknown territories
Searching for my love
Seeking the one I love
My soul lost
Feeling adrift and uncertain
Far from this rotten world
Desiring to escape from this cruel world
Where everything is purer and farther
Longing for a place where things are simpler
I try to find you in the silence of the night
Hoping to find you when everything is quiet
Broken silence
A sudden disruption of the stillness
A shout in the dark
An unidentifiable cry piercing through the night
A voice whispers about your pain
A murmuring sound talks about your suffering
