Desert
Ador Dorath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The one who once have learnt how to read Words
Mustn´t think of going back
The one who cast away all the memories
Must forget the return
The one who once have set for a journey
Mustn´t think of going back
The one who once have seen the mystery
Mustn´t think of return

Even if all the creatures bow in front of you
You can´t stop you must continue
Even if you think that you have seen the end
You can´t stop
You must go on

Even if you are called by my embrace
Even if my lips beg you stay
Forget the return

Even if you are called by my embrace
Even if my heart come to dust

I´ll stay in breeze that touch your face
I´ll stay in cloud that gives you shade




I´ll stay in water that brings new life
I ´ll stay in sand of the desert

Overall Meaning

The song "Desert" by Ador Dorath is a message about the journey of life and the importance of moving forward. The lyrics speak to the idea that once you have experienced something, it is impossible to go back or forget. The opening lines imply that once someone has learned how to read words, they cannot unlearn that skill. Similarly, if someone has left all their memories behind, they must forget the return. The song is urging the listener to continue moving forward, to not let anything hold them back from their journey.


The chorus gives us a sense of urgency and determination. Even if it seems like the end has been reached and things can't get any better, the listener is urged to keep going. Even if someone or something is calling out to them, begging them to stay, they must forget the return. The repetition of "You can't stop, you must go on" emphasizes the importance of perseverance and not giving up.


The second verse is addressed to someone specific. Even if this person is calling out to the listener to come back, they must forget the return. The imagery of the singer staying in the wind, clouds, water, and sand of the desert suggests that they will always be a part of the listener's journey, even if they pass on. The song's message is one of hope and determination, urging the listener to continue their journey of life, no matter how difficult it may seem.
