Diadema
Arcana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the sword that runs through my heart
You are the pale shadow
That surrounds me with sorrow.
You cut my throat just to see me bleed.
Oh sweet death
Will our journey continue eternally ?




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Arcana's song Diadema describe a complex and emotional relationship between two individuals. The first line, "You are the sword that runs through my heart," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It is clear that this person is a vital component in the singer's life, but also poses a significant danger to their well-being. The second line, "You are the pale shadow," could represent the emotional burden this person brings with them, casting a gloomy aura around the singer. The line "You cut my throat just to see me bleed" further exemplifies the dangerous nature of this individual, and how they are willing to cause harm to see pain.


The final line, "Oh sweet death, will our journey continue eternally?" is laden with despair and emotional pain. The singer seems to be contemplating whether the only way to escape the grasp of this person is through death and questioning if they will always be connected to them, even in the afterlife. The song itself is an incredibly moving reflection of the cyclical and complex nature of toxic relationships.


Line by Line Meaning

You are the sword that runs through my heart
You are the one who has pierced my heart like a sword and left me in agony.


You are the pale shadow
You are the shadowy figure that follows me wherever I go, like a ghost haunting me.


That surrounds me with sorrow.
Your presence brings me sadness and grief, enveloping me in a blanket of despair.


You cut my throat just to see me bleed.
You have hurt me deeply just for your own amusement or curiosity, causing me pain.


Oh sweet death
Death seems like a desirable escape from the torment and suffering caused by your actions.


Will our journey continue eternally ?
Will this cycle of hurt and agony never end? Is there no hope for relief or healing from this pain?

I'm 61 one years old. I set my player to repeat this and do sword work in my living room with the lights out until the worries of the day are sweat and I am at peace. Sometimes the moon rests above the ocean outside my windows and the music is even better than it is here.

I've loved this song for years. In terms of Atmospheric/Gothic music that can just take your breath away and send chills down your spine...Arcana is the perfect group for that (or Dark Sanctuary...very close contest there).

Back at the beginning this was my inspiration to join EVE online. I seen allot in EVE. Been apart of CVA, SMA, CO2. I was indirectly part of the SMA fall. Now I live in wormhole space where I will remain until the end.

As someone who is also here because of Rooks and Kings, looking at the comment section I have to stop and wonder at the publicity this amazing piece of music acquired thanks to EVE Online. As well as the thoughts of Mortsell, who uploaded this video, probably never having expecting so many to have found there way here as the result of the actions of a group of players in a spaceship massively multiplayer game.
