Neverland
Bella Morte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Restless, cold
Drown yourself
Into the deep Neverland
Drown yourself
Just close your eyes, silently
See the gleam of sand of solace
Fall before the Fey goodnight
One last look into the eyes
Tarry for you'll never die
For now and ever with us
Nocturna's call throughout time
And before
Through ancient seas and dark lands
Long before
Engulfing dreams, enthralling
The collapsing skies engraved
Call
Fall before the Fey goodnight
One last look into the eyes
Tarry for you'll never die
For now and ever with us
Rise
Into the night where lies
Dance with the darkest dreams
And cries fall before this
Her voice, all before this sleeps in me
Sleeps in me, Delirium enchants me
Lie with me
To die
The lyrics of "Neverland" by Bella Morte describe a state of restlessness and emotional turmoil, calling the listener to drown themselves in the deep waters of "Neverland" in order to find solace. The song also refers to mythical creatures such as "Fey" and "Nocturna", evoking a sense of otherworldliness and enchantment. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, as if the listener is being called to leave behind the mundane world and join in a mystical realm that exists beyond time.
The repeated refrain of "fall before the Fey goodnight / one last look into the eyes / tarry for you'll never die / for now and ever with us" suggests that there is a sense of finality to this transition into a new world, but also an eternal quality to it. The line "Dance with the darkest dreams and cries" reinforces the idea that the world of Neverland is not necessarily a happy or peaceful one, but rather a place where emotions are heightened and raw.
Overall, the lyrics of "Neverland" create a vivid and evocative portrait of a world beyond our own, calling the listener to join in a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't lie awake
Don't stay awake all night
Restless, cold
Feeling agitated and cold
Drown yourself
Lose yourself
Into the deep Neverland
Into a place where you feel safe and at peace
Just close your eyes, silently
Relax and don't say anything
See the gleam of sand of solace
Feel a sense of comfort and contentment
Rise
Get up
Fall before the Fey goodnight
Submit to the magic creatures that come out at night
One last look into the eyes
Take a final glance
Tarry for you'll never die
Stay because you won't find death here
For now and ever with us
Stay with us forever
Nocturna's call throughout time
The sound of the night is always present
And before
Even in the past
Through ancient seas and dark lands
Across time and across dark places
Long before
Before now
Engulfing dreams, enthralling
Taking over dreams and captivating
The collapsing skies engraved
The sky changing permanently
Into the night where lies
Into the darkness where untruths are hidden
Dance with the darkest dreams
Enjoy the hidden and dangerous parts of the dreaming world
And cries fall before this
Cry out for this
Her voice, all before this sleeps in me
I remember her voice as I sleep
Sleeps in me, Delirium enchants me
I dream and it takes me over; I'm captivated by the dream world
Lie with me
Stay with me
To die
To never leave this place
