Black Snow
Ancara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The button is pushed somewhere faraway
Echoes of screams are still floating in the air
Haunting in my mind over infinity
There was a time not so long ago
I saw the man watched him became a god
Talked about peace gave us war
So count your days!!!
Religious ways!!!
Are always excuse for the things you do
Are we bound to be fade into oblivion?
What drives us for that creed to have it all?
There will be no turning back what`s done it`s done
And only thing that remains from us is a black snow
Now I`m sleeping slowly away
Unwillingly I wanted to stay
I see no land only flames
No new place to go no more days to come
So count your days!!!
There is always excuse for the things you do
Are we bound to be fade into oblivion?
What drives us for that creed to have it all?
There will be no turning back what`s done it`s done
And only thing that remains from us is a snow
Are we bound to be fade into oblivion
What drives us for that creed to have it all
There will be no turning back what`s done it`s done
And only thing that remains from us is a black snow
So count your days!!!
The lyrics of Ancara's song "Black Snow" seem to address issues of war, destruction, and the consequences of actions. The first stanza reflects on the recent past, attributing the horror of the Holocaust to a push of a button somewhere distant. The echoes of the screams remain, haunting the singer's mind indefinitely. The second stanza explores the history of man, from a time when he saw himself as god-like, preaching peace yet causing war. The journey of man has come to a close, indicating the end of an era. The chorus calls for reflection and acknowledgement of one's time and the excuses people make in the name of religion.
The third stanza asks if humankind is destined to be forgotten or to fade away, questioning what motivates us to pursue our goals even in the face of destructive consequences. The fourth stanza states that what has been done cannot be undone and that the only thing left is a void of nothingness symbolized by black snow. The final stanza seems to be a lament for the singer's own impending death, with the imagery of flames and no new land to go to. The chorus repeats the call for recognition of time and the potential impact of action.
