Dusk
Anathema Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lift my mind to the light because I'm frozen
Lift my eyes to the sky because I'm searching

To feel like I want it to
To be like I want it to
Because I'm trying my love

To feel like I want it to
To be like I want it to
Because I'm trying
My love

Reach for my hand
And take me away

Away from this place
Because I know I don't belong here

Away from this place, I don't know, how did I get here?

Away from this place
Because I know I don't belong here

Speak to my heart
And take me away

Because I'm trying to be brave now
But I'm frozen in this place now
And it's so cold

And the hopes I had forsaken
We're replaced with such an aching
Please take me home

Because I'm trying to be brave now
But I'm frozen in this place now
And it's so cold

And the hopes I had forsaken
We're replaced with such an aching
Please take me home

But I keep it all inside
Inside
Inside
Inside

Through the tears I watched you fly
You fly
You fly
Far away from me
Far away from me
Far away from me

As the years went by
I found in time I smiled

I set my dreams alight
But I'll never forget you
I'll always live for you
All my love





You're not far away from me

Overall Meaning

In Anathema's song "Dusk," the lyrics express feelings of overwhelm and isolation, as the singer searches for a way out of their present circumstances. The lyrics "Lift my mind to the light because I'm frozen, lift my eyes to the sky because I'm searching," serve to convey a yearning for a positive change of scenery, escape from the darkness of their present, and the possibility that there is hope in the future.


However, a turning point occurs in the lyrics when the singer states "And the hopes I had forsaken were replaced with such an aching, please take me home." These lyrics show the duality of hope and pain that the singer is experiencing. They recognize that they held onto misplaced hopes before, but in admitting this, they feel an intense sense of suffering, perhaps from feeling trapped in their current situation. The song ends with the hopeful reassurance that the person is still with them, even though they may not physically be close by.


Overall, Anathema's "Dusk" is a song about hope amidst pain, and the struggle to find positive change in difficult times. The lyrics describe a journey of self-exploration and a desire to escape from feelings of isolation and emptiness.

Lift my mind to the light because I'm frozen
Lift my eyes to the sky because I'm searching

To feel like I want it to
To be like I want it to
Because I'm trying my love

To feel like I want it to
To be like I want it to
Because I'm trying

Away from this place
Because I know I don't belong here

Away from this place, I don't know, how did I get here?

Away from this place
Because I know I don't belong here

Speak to my heart

We're replaced with such an aching
Please take me home

Because I'm trying to be brave now
But I'm frozen in this place now
And it's so cold

And the hopes I had forsaken
We're replaced with such an aching
Please take me home

But I keep it all inside

Far away from me
Far away from me
Far away from me

I set my dreams alight
But I'll never forget you
I'll always live for you
All my love

You're not far away from me
