Another Way
Bella Morte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All this time everything passed away and
Another world crashes through the night and
Another world fades away leaving dust in its darkness
I'll find another way if I am still alive
And I will lift my head toward the sky to find my way
I fought so hard just to see what was real or
Just to prove what I wanted to believe and
Another thought carries all that is lost to an ending
The lyrics to Bella Morte's song "Another Way" depict themes of perseverance, hope, and an intrinsic desire to find meaning in life. The first two lines set the stage for the rest of the song, where the singer speaks of how everything felt so real and how time passed away. This could be interpreted as the singer trying to find grounding in their life, trying to find something tangible that they could hold onto in their reality.
The next few lines introduce the concept of "another world," which could potentially represent the singer's internal thoughts and struggles. The world "crashes through the night" and "fades away leaving dust in its darkness," which could mean that their thoughts and internal struggles are constantly coming and going, leaving them feeling lost and without direction. However, the singer's resolve to find another way if they are still alive shows that despite their struggles, they still have hope and are willing to continue fighting for a sense of purpose.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of fighting to see what is real or to prove what one wants to believe. This could be interpreted as the singer's struggle with finding truth and meaning in their life, and their willingness to fight for it regardless of how difficult it may seem. Overall, the lyrics to "Another Way" depict a journey of self-discovery and the resilience needed to keep going despite the hardships one may face.
