Nemesys
Aire'n Terre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[what's the sense in war?]
This never ending raing
Outside this empy room
This never ending pain
Inside this empty soul
You want an eye for an eye
You'll only leave us blind
I still can hear those cries
Inside my mind
While you seek revenge
I try to seek my way
I try to live my life
I try to seize the day

We're walking barefoot
on the broken glass
Look ahead
To forget
What we've left behind
All the tears we shed
All the wounds inside
Our hearts and minds
Let's walk holding hands
Try not to fight
Try to leave your life
Try to seize the day

What's the sense of war
There's no sense at all
You keep on telling lies
You promise paradise
But then you seed disgrace
You led your people to the grave
I still can hear their cries
Inside my mind
Burning flags
And hate in your souls




You're going nowhere
There's no place to go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nemesys" by Aire'n Terre contemplate the senselessness of war and its disastrous consequences. The song is a passionate plea for peace, urging people to break the cycle of violence and hate that only leads to more suffering. The singer laments the never-ending rain of war and the emptiness it brings, both inside and outside. The pain is not only physical but also spiritual, as war kills the soul and leaves only scars behind. The singer warns against seeking revenge, as it only leads to more blindness and despair. Instead, he advocates for seeking a way to live a meaningful life, to seize the day and make the most of it.


The second verse of the song describes the aftermath of war, where people are left to walk barefoot on broken glass, trying to forget what they've left behind but failing to do so. The wounds in their hearts and minds are too deep to heal, and the tears they shed are a testament to the horrors they've endured. However, the singer encourages people to hold hands and walk together, to try not to fight and to leave their lives as best they can.


Overall, the song's message is clear: war is a meaningless and destructive force that only brings pain and suffering. Instead of glorifying it, we should strive for peace and harmony, even if it means walking on broken glass and shedding tears. The ultimate goal is to live a life that is worth living, to find some meaning and purpose in a world that seems to be falling apart.
