Ardours is the result of a longstanding friendship between the duo arising from their involvement in the metal scene in Sardinia, Italy. Although Mariangela had moved to Norway in 2006 to join Tristania, they remained in close contact with a mutual appreciation of each other’s musical talent. They eventually decided to join forces and, having formed Ardours in late 2015, the hard work and dedication put in thereafter will be displayed on their debut album ‘Last Place on Earth’, which is due out later in 2019.
The Mist
Ardours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of every glow that failed to grow
Of everyone who failed to show
I miss you the least
Not ever here - Never near
Absent from all my dreams
So wrong - So long
Waiting eternally
Burning infernally
Shaking undiscernibly
Of every single living thing
Whose kiss would change
Into a sting - I miss you the least
The first to volunteer to please
The last to die before the peace
Waiting eternally
Breaking internally
Burning infernally
Shaking - So undiscernibly
The lyrics in Ardours' song "The Mist" convey a sense of loss and detachment. The first few lines express regret over missed opportunities and relationships that failed to blossom. The singer seems to be addressing someone who is absent: "Not ever here - Never near / Absent from all my dreams." Despite the sense of longing, the singer claims to miss this person the least.
The second half of the song shifts to a more universal perspective, referring to "every single living thing." There is a sense of disillusionment - even the promise of a "kiss" can turn into a "sting." The final lines suggest a kind of resignation or acceptance of the pain that comes with existence: "The first to volunteer to please / The last to die before the peace." Throughout the song, there is a tension between the desire for connection and the realization that such connections can be fraught with pain and disappointment.
Overall, "The Mist" is a poignant meditation on the fragility of human relationships and the inevitability of loss. The lyrics are evocative and poetic, conveying a sense of emotional depth that will resonate with listeners.
Line by Line Meaning
Of every glow that failed to grow
I think of every opportunity that didn't pan out; the ones that didn't blossom into something beautiful
Of everyone who failed to show
I think of every person who didn't come through; the ones who let me down
I miss you the least
Out of all those disappointments, I miss you the least
Not ever here - Never near
You were never really here for me, never close to me in any way
Absent from all my dreams
You were even absent from my dreams; you didn't occupy any space in my subconscious
So wrong - So long
Our relationship was flawed, and it's been over for a while now
Waiting eternally
I feel like I'm waiting forever; I'm stuck in this stagnant state of waiting for something that will never happen
Breaking internally
My emotional state is fragile and crumbling; I'm falling apart inside
Burning infernally
I'm consumed by fiery emotions; I'm filled with passion and anger
Shaking undiscernibly
I'm trembling, but it's hard to tell why or what's causing it
Of every single living thing
Out of all the people and creatures in the world
Whose kiss would change
Whose affection could make a difference, whose love could make me feel whole
Into a sting - I miss you the least
Instead, their attention would hurt me like a sharp, painful sting, but I still miss you the least out of all of them
The first to volunteer to please
You were always eager to please and make me happy
The last to die before the peace
But our relationship had to end before I could find true peace and happiness
Waiting eternally
I'm still waiting, and it feels like it will never end
Breaking internally
My heart is still breaking; I'm still hurting
Burning infernally
I'm still filled with fiery emotions; I can't escape them
Shaking - So undiscernibly
I'm still trembling, but it's hard to pinpoint why or what's causing it

You're SO BEYOND Tristania, GOD! I love so much how your voice matches perfectly with the heavy instruments, like your voice was made of them. Not all singers have this capacity.
