Tusk
Autumn's Grey Solace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rocks collide
Shed the stars
Of their light
Tell them all
To take cover
Run afar
From thieves
Stomp your feet
Elephant
Stomp your feet
Elephant
Bombard
All the sinful
Jousting tusks
Thrashing about
Wailing horns
In the wind
Knives and blades
Slicing about
Stomp your feet
Elephant
Stomp your feet
Elephant
Restore
Once again
All the stars
Of their light
Tell them all
It is over
Run afar
And thrive
The lyrics of Autumn's Grey Solace's song Tusk are dense and evocative. The song seems to describe some kind of epic battle, possibly one involving elephants or other large, powerful creatures. The first stanza sets the stage for this confrontation, with the lyrics "shake the earth" and "rocks collide" suggesting immense forces at work. The following lines, which describe sheds stars of their light, create a sense of awe and wonder at the scale of the events taking place. The final lines of the stanza, which urge listeners to "run afar from thieves," seem to suggest that the battle being described is both dangerous and enigmatic.
The second stanza of the song builds on this sense of confrontation, with lines like "bombard all the sinful" and "wailing horns in the wind" painting a vivid picture of a violent clash. At the same time, the imagery of "jousting tusks" and "knives and blades" suggests a more refined, skillful kind of combat. The final lines of the stanza, which once again implore listeners to "run afar and thrive," create a sense of resolution: the battle has been fought, and those who escaped have a chance to heal and grow.
Line by Line Meaning
Shake the earth
Evoke a mighty force
Rocks collide
Trembling and tumbling towards each other
Shed the stars
Of their light
Bewitch the stars of the night
Tell them all
To take cover
Warn ever star of the plight
Run afar
From thieves
Flee from marauders who blot out the sight
Stomp your feet
Elephant
Pound your hooves, robust and gallant
Stomp your feet
Elephant
Beat it hard, not at all hesitant
Bombard
All the sinful
Attack the wicked who falsely represent
Jousting tusks
Thrashing about
Assaulting with tusks that are out
Wailing horns
In the wind
Crying out loud, the wind being the sound
Knives and blades
Slicing about
Cutting asunder those who are abound
Restore
Once again
Bring back to life what was once slain.
All the stars
Of their light
To make them once again shine so bright
Tell them all
It is over
Say to them, they can now recover
Run afar
And thrive
Off you run, prosper and come alive!
