Evensong
Bella Morte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As all words shall die in good time
Fleeting shades of pain catch my eye
And the mist of days long gone by
Captures tears and smiles as we die
And I hear your laughter from far away
In the fondest place in my mind
Together, let the nights burn long with our doubt
When we spoke of days still to come
They were bright as mid-summers sun
And my life is grey without you
And the nights won't shine without you
And my heart grows cold without you
Yet the seasons change without you
The opening of this song speaks about a feeling of loss and the desire to prolong the night as a way of coping with the pain. The lyrics suggest that words will not be able to fully express the emotions felt during a time of loss, but that the memories of the past and the emotions they evoke can be comforting. The song then goes on to talk about the beauty of life, as well as the sorrow that comes with it.
The second verse is about doubt and the fear of the unknown. It speaks about the comfort that comes from envisioning a future together, as bright as the mid-summer sun. The chorus returns to the theme of loss, with the singer expressing how life feels empty and cold without the person they have lost. Despite this, the world continues to turn and the seasons change. The song ends with the singer expressing the hope that they will be reunited with the person they have lost.
Overall, "Evensong" is a melancholy yet beautiful song that speaks to the experience of loss and the profound impact it has on our lives.
Line by Line Meaning
Forever, let the nights burn long for our loss
Let the darkness linger to mourn our pain, for time will make all words meaningless.
As all words shall die in good time
No utterances can express the depth of our emotions and even they will fade away in due course.
Fleeting shades of pain catch my eye
The moments of agony that pass by are visible in the ephemeral forms they take.
And the mist of days long gone by
The murkiness of distant memories shrouds our present realities.
Captures tears and smiles as we die
The past captures both our happy moments and melancholic endings.
And I hear your laughter from far away
Your echoes of mirth still resonate in the depths of my mind, even from afar.
In the fondest place in my mind
Within the warmth of my heart, I cherish the memories we shared.
Together, let the nights burn long with our doubt
Let us face our uncertainties in the prolonged darkness, together as one.
When we spoke of days still to come
We dreamt of a future filled with hope and radiance.
They were bright as mid-summers sun
Our aspirations burned as intensely as the summer sun at its peak.
And my life is grey without you
The color has drained from my reality since you departed.
And the nights won't shine without you
The starry night sky mirrors the emptiness I feel without your presence.
And my heart grows cold without you
My heart that once burned with passion now grows numb and icy in your absence.
Yet the seasons change without you
The world that spins around me carries on, unaffected by my sense of loss.

Brother, I have loved your band since high school. I'm deploying to Afghanistan soon and still have you on my shuffle playlist as I exercise. Good work, guys. Stay safe and stay classy.
@gothymom2012
Still love this song. 🖤

How is it possible no one have commented on this track? I heard it in 7th grade. It has haunted me until I finally found out what band recorded it recently at the age of 28. It has haunted me for years.
