Cast to the Seas in Storms
Autumn's Grey Solace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before my eyes
Soon will be a falling rain
On top of all our sorrows
Has been a once in a while all along
Cast into seas in storms
All the noise
The right words
The melodies
The shame
Stains on my lips
The fear's own starvation
Dried up heart
Has been a once in a while all along
Cast into seas in storms
All the noise
The lazy
The right words
The melody
The shame
The lyrics of Autumn's Grey Solace's song Cast to the Seas in Storms are full of abstract imagery and evoke a strong sense of melancholy. The opening lines, "Forage a trueness/ Before my eyes/ Soon will be a falling rain/ On top of all our sorrows," suggest a desire for truth amidst a world of sadness and uncertainty. This is followed by a repeated refrain of "has been a once in a while all along," which could refer to the fleeting moments of joy and hope that punctuate a life filled with sorrow and struggle. The title of the song, "Cast to the Seas in Storms," adds to this sense of upheaval and instability, and suggests a feeling of being lost or adrift.
The second verse continues with more abstract lyrics: "Stains on my lips/ The fear's own starvation/ Dried-up heart." These lines suggest a sense of hollowness and emptiness, as if the singer is struggling to find meaning or purpose in their life. The repeated refrain of "all the noise/ the lazy/ the right words/ the melody/ the shame" adds to this sense of confusion, as if the singer is overwhelmed by the cacophony of life and struggling to find their place within it. The song ends with the repeated refrain of being "cast into seas in storms," perhaps suggesting that this is a fate that we all share, and that the only way to find meaning within it is to embrace the fleeting moments of beauty and joy that punctuate the darkness.
