Silvery Night
Aythis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mist cloaked dormant rivers
The cimmerian shades became sole season
The bleak moonscapes can shed a tear
Time went away.

A silvery night, when your embrace becomes dust
The Sienna skies, in a garden of mistrust
While the heavens burn in frame of lie
In the death of your dream, in the dead of night.

Silhouettes eluded from my closed eyes,
From my dream, from my dimness.
I've let the wind of clay wear out my eyes,
I've let the solemn air overcome me.

A silvery night, when your embrace becomes dust
The Sienna skies, in a garden of mistrust
While the heavens burn in frame of lie
In the death of your dream, in the dead of night.

We carelessly stay and behold the silvery way
The banks of our dying world, our empty rivers
We could scream, bleed or cry all our sullen tears




This is our last hour,
This is our last time.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aythis's song "Silvery Night" depict a somber atmosphere of despair and loss. The opening lines, "Mist cloaked dormant rivers / The cimmerian shades became sole season" give a sense of stillness and a lack of movement or progress. The singer is lost in a world that seems unchanging and unrelenting in its bleakness. The following line, "The bleak moonscapes can shed a tear / Time went away," further emphasizes a sense of timelessness, where even the moon - a typical symbol of change - is overcome with sadness and unable to change the stagnant state of the world.


The chorus contains repeated lines that build on these themes. The repetition of "A silvery night, when your embrace becomes dust / The Sienna skies, in a garden of mistrust" gives a sense of inevitability and the passage of time. The heavens burning in a "frame of lie" suggests a lack of truth or honesty in the world, and the death of one's dreams in the dead of night speaks to the loss and hopelessness that the singer feels.


The third stanza contains a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer has "let the wind of clay wear out [their] eyes" and "let the solemn air overcome [them]." There is a sense of giving up, of being beaten down by the world and unable to fight back. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the inevitability of the silvery night and the demise of the singer's dreams.


Overall, "Silvery Night" is a haunting and melancholic song that uses imagery and repetition to emphasize a sense of hopelessness and despair.


Line by Line Meaning

Mist cloaked dormant rivers
The still rivers have been shrouded by a thick layer of mist


The cimmerian shades became sole season
The dark shadows have become the only prevailing season


The bleak moonscapes can shed a tear
The desolate landscapes are capable of expressing sadness


Time went away.
Time has vanished


A silvery night, when your embrace becomes dust
The night is illuminated by a soft silver light, while the embrace of a loved one dissipates into nothingness


The Sienna skies, in a garden of mistrust
The skies are a warm, reddish-brown color, but there is an atmosphere of skepticism and doubt


While the heavens burn in frame of lie
Even though the skies are on fire, it feels insincere


In the death of your dream, in the dead of night.
Amidst the darkness of night, one's aspirations have been extinguished


Silhouettes eluded from my closed eyes,
Shapes and figures seem to escape from the artist's closed eyes


From my dream, from my dimness.
These shapes come from the artist's dreams and lack of clarity


I've let the wind of clay wear out my eyes,
The artist has allowed the elements to damage their eyesight


I've let the solemn air overcome me.
The artist is overpowered by a solemn and somber atmosphere


We carelessly stay and behold the silvery way
We remain nonchalant and observe the illuminated path


The banks of our dying world, our empty rivers
Our world is slowly dying and our rivers have lost their vitality


We could scream, bleed or cry all our sullen tears
We could express our anguish and sorrow if we chose to


This is our last hour,
We have reached the end


This is our last time.
This will be the final moment

I absolutely love this song! It makes me cry - not only cause it's sad, but cause it's so incredibly beautiful.... this magic tune, this unearthly pure, calm voice.. it's been haunting me since I heard it first time, so I keep coming back here, again and again :)

Andy Goldsworthy is one of my favorite artists! His documentary "Rivers and Tides" is gorgeous and a perfect accompaniment as a music video for this beautiful and spellbinding song. I have listened to this song sooo many times! Carline Van Roos is a Goddess!
