Dorothee Thines
Asian Glow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything same as seen
Knocked on your door
Though door is open for me
Before I get in, i thought
What's the silences you had
On other side
And I still in pond, together
Swept down with the muds
Are they sweeping away?
As I expected, world's gone seeing ahead
When everything wrapped up
I looked up to leave
Thinking what's the silences I had
on other side
Over, still again
Everything same as seen
Knocked on your door
Though door is open for me
Before I get in, i thought
What's the silences you had
On other side
Are they sweeping away?
Scenes I don't recall permeated my body
And I had this before
Not sure where i wanna be
Still hand in hand on 31th
Years gone passing by
Tried to see what's ahead
Only to be stuck in the past
When did I start to get to cry
I should've been here without thinking
Hope I'm gonna be okay this year
The lyrics of Asian Glow's song "Dorothee Thines" seem to describe a moment of reflection and hesitation before entering through a door. The singer has knocked on a door that is open for them, but before entering, they take a moment to think about the silence that might be waiting on the other side. The notion of silence seems to be a recurring theme throughout the song, and the singer seems to be questioning whether the silence is representative of something they are afraid to face or whether it permeates the essence of their being.
The singer talks about being in a pond, and they mention that all their past thoughts have been swept away with the mud. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer feeling stuck in their past and trying to move forward. There is a sense of longing in the lyrics as the singer seems to be searching for meaning and purpose in their life. They mention that scenes they don't recall have permeated their body, indicating a sense of disconnection and confusion.
