Why?
Age of Nemesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tears in my heart and my eyes
Tell me, why'd they take him, why?
It was solely my sin
Why'd they have to go n' punish him?
Why can't he be alive?
Oh why not I?
Cos I'm to blame for all the strife
The lyrics in Age of Nemesis's song Why? depict a deep sense of regret and remorse over the loss of a loved one. The first line, "Somber tears in the bleak sky," sets a melancholic tone, reflecting the emotional pain the singer is feeling. The tears in their heart and eyes suggest that the loss has affected them deeply, and they are struggling to come to terms with it. The singer then questions why their loved one had to die, expressing guilt and self-blame for the tragedy. They feel responsible for the strife and punishment that their loved one endured, and they are left feeling lost and without purpose. The song is a poignant reflection on the fragility of life, and the devastating impact that loss can have on those left behind.

Maybe I've been alive just for a minute
Yes, I still feel all the pain
It'll hurt if I have to go n' live through
Where this world's goin' again
Like a dream, it embraces me so gently
Misty haze falls here upon
And I'm blown like a dust speck 'cross the white sky
To which I now do belong
And a soul flies through the bright light
To which I give up my whole life
Air-bodied souls all build their faces from the smoke, mist n' fire
Through me they revive the ancient rite: the song of light
All my desires of the past and their strands
Are just torn from the land that was once my life
Oh this place is so strange
Death won't make me feel estranged
If my soul makes it here in time
Yes, this was I - in the Land of Light
And now I'm filled with hope here inside
My body's just flesh
My blood is just blood
But my soul's so bright...
ANGEL: "The saving Land of Light
Awaits you once the sun don't shine
On you down here no more
After all the fright
Your sorrow goes n' dies
N' you suffer pain no more
One day you must resign
The Temple of the Soul behind
Cos you can't live forever more
Relief is what you'll find
But all those who you left behind
They still don't know the score..."

Zseniális, basszus...2000 táján azt mondtam rájuk, hogy ők a magyar Dream Theater, mostmár tekintve a DT jelenlegi produktumait, inkább ők az amerikai Age of Nemesis :)

They are a way better than Dream Theater!! They are awsome!

@clemsmono I think Age of Nemesis is more progressive than Dream Theater, but I think DT's songs are more considered, because Petrucci is nice musician, he has a big experience and knows how to compose a good music :) But IMO Age of Nemesis is as good as DT, it's hard to rate which band is better in prog metal.
