Your Name
Arcane Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
into my face. The wind makes my skin harder still. The clouds race by
over-head and I fight to remain standing, the signs of endless journeys
shows in my weakened stance. I wish for the ground to open. I have been
around the world and back, I have re-lived every memory, re-dreamt every
dream and felt every touch (again). Still the clouds will race, the wind
will cut and soon I will fall. The dust will form a mound that shall be my
tomb, never to be whetted by the tears of mourning, because I was lost
I believe that each man craves the soul rejuvenation that, for centuries,
authors and poets of the world have immortalised through the written and
spoken word. I believe that each man wishes to harness the power of the
burning sun and rejuvenate the soul that, for many of us, lies dead. I too
have traveled these paths and found that most lead to a bare world.
In Arcane Sun's song Your Name, the singer is haunted by memories of a lost love. Despite having called her name thousands of times, his words are blown back into his face by the wind. The clouds race overhead, and he fights to remain standing despite the signs of his endless journeys showing in his weakened stance. He longs for the ground to open up, and has relived every memory, re-dreamed every dream, and felt every touch (again). However, the clouds continue to race, the wind continues to cut, and he knows that soon he will fall. He resigns himself to his fate, knowing that he will be lost forever in a colder world without his lost love.
The lyrics suggest a deep sense of longing and desperation for something that cannot be regained. The wind and clouds represent the forces of the universe that are beyond the singer's control, and the idea of falling emphasizes his powerlessness in the face of fate. The repeated references to memories, dreams, and touch also emphasize the singer's desire to hold onto the past and the physical remnants of his relationship, despite knowing that they are gone forever.
