Airdash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you recall that old white house
There is a garden full of black flowers
An old man sitting by the window
He's trying to find the peace of mind
He's dreaming of something
Trying to remember
Life doesn't exist anymore
Feel no pain
He stands at the of the path
The lyrics in Airdash's song View tell a melancholy story of an old man trying to find inner peace and solace. The opening lines describe a seaside environment, where the old man sits in an old white house with a garden full of black flowers. The black flowers could symbolize darkness, mourning or death, which creates a solemn atmosphere. The old man, who is watching the outside world, is trying to recall his memories and find some meaning or purpose in life. His mind is wandering as he dreams of something and tries to remember. But the final line "Life doesn't exist anymore" suggests that he has lost all hope and has given up on life. However, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope, with the lyrics "feel no hate, feel no pain," suggesting that the old man has found peace in accepting his fate.
The lyrics in View evoke introspection and contemplation on the fleeting nature of life. It urges reflection on the importance of finding peace in life, even if it means accepting the inevitability of death. The black flowers and old man represent the themes of sadness, loss, and the passage of time, which are all common lyrical themes in many songs. The lyrics, coupled with the rock melody and emotive vocals, create an emotional impact that resonates with listeners.
Line by Line Meaning
Take a look down at the seaside
Let's shift our focus to the ocean view
Do you recall that old white house
Bring back memories of that older home, colored white
There is a garden full of black flowers
Inside the premises, there's a plentiful garden with dark-colored flowers
An old man sitting by the window
An elderly gentlemen sitting next to the panes
He's trying to find the peace of mind
He's making attempts to calm his thoughts
He's dreaming of something
The man slips into a dream about something
Trying to remember
While asleep, he makes efforts to recall a memory
Life doesn't exist anymore
To him, the world seems empty of existence
Feel no hate
He no longer carries any resentful emotions
Feel no pain
Neither does he experience physical, nor emotional pain
He stands at the end of the path
He is situated at the last point of his journey
