Anthriel's music can be described as sort of a neo classical band with metal and progressive influences. Still it's Anthriel so it's hard to categorize the music to represent only one genre. Anthriel's music is Timo Niemisto's hand writing from many parts.
Haven of Grace
Anthriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so weak inside
Heal the scars inside
I need to hide, then make the curtain fall
I'm flying higher, so much higher than before
Reaching the sky above
Sometimes life hurts ways you never felt before
How will I carry on if it fade away?
I'm alone in the dark
Won't you take my hand?
Give some peace for my poor soul,
guide my way once more
I'm flying higher, so much higher than before
Reaching the sky above
Sometimes life hurts ways you never felt before
Tears pouring from your soul
There was a time when I was free within my soul
I want to see a new dawn rise again
Haven of grace have passed aside
I sail towards to the land where dreams awake
There's a storm up ahead drawing near
Full of power and rage, rising fear
I'm holding on to my life by a thread
Waves rising so high, the end is near
I want to see a new dawn rise again
Haven of grace have passed aside
A new dawn rise again
Haven of grace have passed aside
Haven of grace
The first few lines of the song paint a picture of a person who is struggling with inner turmoil, pain, and possibly even self-destructive tendencies. They are asking for help from someone before they fade away completely. The lyrics speak of healing the scars inside, indicating that they have been through some traumatic experiences that have left them wounded. They need to hide and make the curtain fall, suggesting that they may have been putting on a brave face for too long and need to retreat into themselves for a while.
As the song progresses, however, we see a glimmer of hope. The singer begins to fly higher than ever before, reaching for the sky and overcoming their past pain. The pain, however, comes back just as hard as they describe it hurting in ways they never felt before. The song speaks to the reality of healing not being linear, but rather a cycle of progressing and falling back. The singer once again asks for help, to be guided towards peace and to have their hand held. They want to see a new dawn and sail towards a land where dreams can awake.
In sum, the song describes the struggles of healing from past trauma and the ups and downs of the healing journey. It speaks to the hope that is available for those who are hurting and the need for connection and support to overcome the pain.
