My Noteless Blues
Archontes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Usual routine of life
In vino veritas
Who's gonna loose?
Blood counts the time
Of my noteless blues
Tomorrow it has to be different
Head's getting heavy
It's good news
Heart beats the rhythm
Of my noteless blues
Marionette is who I am
Driven by hand as if I'm blind
Predestination is term of real question
They've set figures and chosen the side for me
"Oh chosen one come with me,
And you fulfil your destiny"
But I'm scared 'cause I can't see
Blindfolded like sheep before the slaughter
Dreams of the past are now coming true
They are so close touch them by hand
I don't know anything about this battle
Who is my enemy who's friend
"Chosen one come with me"
It smells like a trap
They promised to set me free
But can I trust them
The stakes are too high
It is so close and real my land of the free
I believe my heart will be there
The doors are closed
My purpose is the key
Can I go back I don't care
Walking though dreams
Where the freedom lives
How I wished to be there
But now I'm afraid to be wrong
Who am I in this game
A Queen or a pawn?
The lyrics of Archontes's song "My Noteless Blues" seem to be about a person who realizes that their life is predetermined, and they are just a mere puppet or marionette, controlled by some force or authority. The song opens with a reflection on how things were clear yesterday, but today everything seems to be changing suddenly. The singer is deeply troubled by the possible loss they might suffer in the coming days, and the rhythm of their heart is that of 'noteless blues.'
The next verse further delves into the idea of predestination and how the singer is blindly following it. The phrase "predestination is the term of real question" is a hint at the singer's confusion and doubts. They find themselves in a place where they feel their fate has been decided, and they are unable to change it. In the final verse, the singer reflects on how their dream of freedom is so close, and they can almost taste it. But they doubt who to trust and who not to. They feel like they are being led to a trap, and the stakes are too high. The last line, "Who am I in this game, a Queen or a pawn?" is an abrupt end, leaving the listener wondering about the singer's fate.
Line by Line Meaning
Yesterday it was so clear
The past was unambiguous
Usual routine of life
Daily life follows a pattern
In vino veritas
Wine reveals truth
Who's gonna loose?
Who will suffer a loss?
Blood counts the time
Time passes relentlessly
Of my noteless blues
My sorrowful feeling has no words
Tomorrow it has to be different
The future cannot be the same
It's obvious but so sudden...
The change is expected but still surprising
Head's getting heavy
Feeling overwhelmed
It's good news
Despite uncertainty, the news is positive
Heart beats the rhythm
The heart guides the way
Of my noteless blues
My melancholic feeling has no melody
Marionette is who I am
I am a puppet controlled by others
Driven by hand as if I'm blind
I am led without seeing the way
Predestination is term of real question
The predetermined future is uncertain
They've set figures and chosen the side for me
Others have determined my fate
"Oh chosen one come with me,
And you fulfil your destiny"
I am being summoned to fulfill my destiny
But I'm scared 'cause I can't see
I am afraid because I am blind to what is to come
Blindfolded like sheep before the slaughter
I am being led like an animal to be killed
Dreams of the past are now coming true
My old dreams are becoming reality
They are so close touch them by hand
These dreams are almost tangible
I don't know anything about this battle
I am ignorant of what is happening
Who is my enemy who's friend
I cannot discern friend from foe
"Chosen one come with me"
I am being summoned again
It smells like a trap
My intuition warns me of danger
They promised to set me free
They offer me liberation
But can I trust them
I am not sure if they are trustworthy
The stakes are too high
The risk is great
It is so close and real my land of the free
My freedom is within reach
I believe my heart will be there
I have faith that I will find my way
The doors are closed
Opportunities seem blocked
My purpose is the key
I must find my true calling
Can I go back I don't care
I am willing to move forward despite uncertainty
Walking though dreams
Navigating through my aspirations
Where the freedom lives
Where true liberation resides
How I wished to be there
My desire for freedom is strong
But now I'm afraid to be wrong
My fear of failure holds me back
Who am I in this game
I do not know my role
A Queen or a pawn?
Am I a leader or a follower?
