Regret
Bella Morte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where has the warmth within your voice gone?
It seems your care has died away
I wander through a thousand questions
Never knowing what to say
Lift your palms your hands are soiled
And guilt now lights your eyes
Will I know or will I wonder
The voice of severed ties

Years will pass and you'll remember
All that died within your grasp
And I'll be gone, you'll sleep uneasy
Upon a bed built of regret
You won't forget the loss of passion
As the past sleeps in your mind
Years will pass and you'll be searching
For things you'll never find

See our dreams now fade away
Call to the time that we would have shared
See our hopes now fade to gray
Look to the emptiness by your side

Beneath the days there lies indifference
Your smile can't retract the lies
And my nights will find their comfort
In the knowledge that I tried
Were your words always so empty?
Have I been blinded by your light?
My doubts were real from the beginning
Unlike the final tears you cried

I trace your lies, something untrue
Swam deep within your eyes
Was another waiting in my place tonight?
You will regret all that you've done
As the one you lost seems cold
Let your tears fall fast to fill your empty heart
Pray for day, pray for day
Hope that hope will shine again
Through the fog of loss that haunts your thoughts at night
Pray for day, pray for day




Hope that hope will shine again
Through the fog of loss that haunts your thoughts at night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bella Morte's "Regret" paint a vivid picture of someone who is regretful and remorseful about a failed relationship. The singer asks the question that the listener could relate to: "Where has the warmth within your voice gone?" suggesting that the person he's addressing has become cold and detached. He also accuses them of having "soiled" their hands in guilt and expresses his own doubts and confusion about the situation.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Years will pass and you'll remember" which suggests that the effects of the failed relationship will linger for a long time, although he will be able to move on. He tells the person that he was with that they will "sleep uneasy upon a bed built of regret" and that they will always remember what they had lost. The song paints a picture of a love that has died and will never be revived, and the person left behind will be haunted by the memories of what could have been.
