Master Of Sorrow
Allen Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm prepared for anything
You won't get that close now
I'm protected from your lies
Knowing what you will bring me
Knowing that I want no more, more
When the snow was falling
Right outside my window
You were watching all night long
Standing there in the shadows
Whispering my name in your spell
Won't fall again
I won't be fooled
This time my heart is strong
You are standing right before
The master of sorrow
Won't feel again
Suffer no more
This time my heart is cold
You are standing right before
The master of sorrow
Yeah… I am the master of sorrow
Fells like yesterday now
I can see it all so clear
You were closer whispering
It's you and me that count right now
I thought that the voice I was hearing
Was so completely sincere
years have passed since that day
My mourning has come to an end
I know you're still out there
Regretting the choices that you made
I won't follow you this time
I'll give you the pain that was mine
Won't fall again
I won't be fooled
This time my heart is strong
You are standing right before
The master of sorrow
Won't feel again
Suffer no more
This time my heart is cold
You are standing right before
The master of sorrow
Won't fall again
I won't be fooled
This time my heart is strong
You are standing right before
Master, Master of sorrow
Won't feel again
Suffer no more (Yeah)
This time my heart is cold
You are standing right before
You are standing right the $#!@$# master of sorrow
Won't fall again
I won't be fooled
This time my heart is strong
You are standing right before
The master of sorrow
Won't feel again
Suffer no more
This time my heart is cold
You are standing right before
The master of sorrow
You can't hurt me this time
I'm prepared for anything
You won't get that close now
I'm protected from you lies
Knowing what you will bring me
Knowing you…
The lyrics of Allen Lande's song Master of Sorrow tell the story of someone who has been hurt in the past and is now guarded against a person who has caused them pain. The singer is determined not to let this person get close to them again as they know what they will bring with them. The song is about finding strength in oneself to stand up against the pain, and how time can heal wounds and give one the power to overcome their past.
The lyrics describe a sense of victory and empowerment, with the singer calling themselves the 'master of sorrow', having conquered their pain and refusing to fall victim to it again. The use of the phrase 'master of sorrow' suggests a sense of superiority, as if the singer has learned to control their pain instead of being controlled by it. The chorus repeats the message of strength and endurance, with the singer determined not to fall or feel again.
The snowy imagery in the second verse adds to the sense of isolation and vulnerability, with the singer being watched and whispered to from the outside. However, the song ultimately ends on a victorious note as the singer overcomes their anger and finds closure, accepting that while their pain will always be there it does not have to control them.
Overall, the song is an empowering message about overcoming personal pain and finding the strength to move on.
