Sister
Alchemy X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel the sadness in an open mind
Painted disciples telling only lies
So many times we've walked the roads to madness in our lives
The gloating doubt - A feral scream that emanates from within
The tactless charm of nightmares
A fear so incandescent
We feed the sorrow that is ours
And so the story ends.......

I feel the countless days and reveries
Twisting obsession knows no end
Bestowed on us - this crown of thorns
to amplify despair
Becomes a cherished ornament
- A symbol so arcane
Every day a nightmare - every word brings darkness
My love - if only you were here
- to revel in your shame

So many nights we play the part
A bloody tear shed in vain
While waiting for the dawn that never comes
A novella etched in pain
Until the darkness calls you from the sky
Until the twisted words run by
I see you waiting all alone......
A magnet symbiotic
Born from discontent
Will bury us when hope surrenders......

And every time - I feel the autumn chill
- I think of you
So many words - that always say goodbye

And every time - I think of you
So many words...say goodbye




If only i had....one more night with you
To drink the sadness in your eyes...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alchemy X's song "Sister" speak to the overwhelming feelings of sadness, despair and hopelessness that can overtake an individual in their life. The opening line of the song "I feel the sadness in an open mind" suggests a deep vulnerability and the ability to truly feel the weight of emotions. The reference to "painted disciples telling only lies" may be seen as a warning against those who profess knowledge or enlightenment but have ulterior motives.


As the lyrics continue, the desperation of the singer becomes more prominent, with lines such as "Bestowed on us - this crown of thorns to amplify despair" indicating a sense of martyrdom and suffering for reasons unbeknownst. The mention of a "novella etched in pain" and "twisted words" reflects the tortured state of the singer's mind. Despite the longing to be reunited with a loved one and the yearning to find solace, the lyrics suggest that there is no respite from the crushing emotions: "Until the darkness calls you from the sky...Will bury us when hope surrenders."


The song's central theme of sorrow is compounded by the repetition of the lines "And every time - I think of you/So many words...say goodbye." The final lines, "If only I had....one more night with you/To drink the sadness in your eyes" suggest a desire to be able to wholly empathize with another's pain in the hopes of finding some comfort.
