Million Lightyears
Beyond the Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you

My heart so bittersweet
It's coming alive 'cause it's so alive to pain
For good I'll let it bleed
Knowing that somewhere in time you'll feel the same
But should it bleed in vain
Shall all of my sadness be what I am to face
Until the end of days

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you
How I only wished that you could hear
My rhapsody in blue
I'm a million lightyears away from you

Ohh, ohh, oh (I'm hearing you crying my name)
Ohh, ohh, oh (Can you take the sorrow from me)
Ohh, ohh, oh (Or will it be all we're to see)
I'm a million lightyears away from you

A prayer into the night
Arising from out of the void you left in me
A song across the sky
May you be carried, my little melody

And should I chant in vain
I'm willing to take all the woe and carry on
Until another dawn

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you
How I only wished that you could hear
My rhapsody in blue
I'm a million lightyears away from you

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you
How I only wished that you could hear
My rhapsody in blue
I'm a million lightyears away from you

Ohh, ohh, oh (I'm hearing you crying my name)
Ohh, ohh, oh (Can you take the sorrow from me)




Ohh, ohh, oh (Or will it be all we're to see)
I'm a million lightyears away from you

Line by Line Meaning

I'm a million lightyears away from you
The physical distance between us is vast, and it seems that there is little hope of bridging that distance.


Saved a million dried tears just for you
Despite the distance, I still care deeply for you, and my tears serve as a reminder of the pain of that separation.


My heart so bittersweet
My emotional state is complex, and mixed with feelings of pain and longing, there is still a sense of beauty and wonder.


It's coming alive 'cause it's so alive to pain
The depth of pain I feel is so consuming that, paradoxically, it revitalizes me and reminds me of the depth of my emotions.


For good I'll let it bleed
I accept the inevitability of heartbreak and will allow myself to suffer the pain of separation so that I can move on.


Knowing that somewhere in time you'll feel the same
Despite the distance, I believe that you will also feel the same pain and longing that I am experiencing.


But should it bleed in vain
However, if my suffering is ultimately pointless and serves no greater purpose, it would be a terrible tragedy.


Shall all of my sadness be what I am to face
If my sadness cannot be redeemed, then it will become an insurmountable obstacle in my life that I will have to face alone.


Until the end of days
This sorrow will remain with me for the rest of my life, and despite my efforts, I will never fully escape it.


How I only wished that you could hear
Despite the pain, I still long for your presence and wish that you were here with me to share in my emotions.


My rhapsody in blue
My emotions are so intense and complex that they can only be expressed through music, and this particular song is a reflection of my current emotional state.


A prayer into the night
I am reaching out to a higher power, seeking solace from the pain and trying to connect with something greater than myself.


Arising from out of the void you left in me
Your absence has left a deep void in my life, and I am trying to fill that void through prayer and music.


A song across the sky
As my emotions are expressed through music, I imagine that they are carried on the wind and across the vast expanse of the sky.


May you be carried, my little melody
I hope that my emotions will somehow reach you and that you will be able to feel the depth of my pain and longing.


And should I chant in vain
Despite my efforts, I worry that my emotions will go unnoticed and unheard, and that my prayers will go unanswered.


I'm willing to take all the woe and carry on
Regardless of the outcome, I am willing to accept the pain and carry on, knowing that I have done everything I can to express myself.


Until another dawn
As long as the pain remains, I will continue to create music and express my emotions, waiting for the day when the sun will rise again and my pain will subside.

Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie
Zachowałam milion zeschłych łez tylko dla ciebie

Nasze serca są słodko-gorzkie
Ożywia się, bo jest tak żywe dla bólu
Dla dobra i pozwól im krwawić
Wiedząc, że gdzieś w czasie będziesz czuć tak samo

Nie powinnam krwawić w próżności
Smutek jest tym, czemu powinnam stawiać czoła
Aż do końca świata

Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie
Zachowałam milion zeschłych łez tylko dla ciebie
Ja tylko chcę, abyś usłyszał
Moją muzykę
Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie

Oh, oh, oh (Słyszę jak krzyczysz moje imię)
Oh, oh, oh (Czy potrafisz zabrać ode mnie ten smutek)
Oh, oh, oh (Czy już na zawsze będę w nim zatracona)
Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie

Nocna modlitwa
Powstaje z pustki, którą po sobie zostawiłeś
Pośród pieśni nieba
Ty będziesz nieść moją małą melodię

Mój monotonny śpiew nie powinien być daremny
Mogę wziąć na siebie całą żałość i iść na przód
Aż do kolejnego świtu

Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie
Zachowałam milion zeschłych łez tylko dla ciebie
Ja tylko chcę, abyś usłyszał
Moją muzykę
Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie

Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie
Zachowałam milion zeschłych łez tylko dla ciebie
Ja tylko chcę, abyś usłyszał
Moją muzykę
Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie

Oh, oh, oh (Słyszę jak krzyczysz moje imię)
Oh, oh, oh (Czy potrafisz zabrać ode mnie ten smutek)
Oh, oh, oh (Czy już na zawsze będę w nim zatracona)
Jestem milion lat świetlnych od ciebie

I had the fortune of seeing her live on Halloween in a pub in London. She doesn’t need auto tune or anything, she’s naturally this good! Much better than mainstream artists

Tarl Cabot

Wish I'd known they were on I would have joined you! Epic Band!!

W S

No real singers need autotune.... Just the fakes.

Steven White

Consistency. This is what Beyond the Black does repeatedly. Their consistency shows how dedicated they are to what they do. Much respect.

Timothy Atwood

Most US and uk artists just plain SUCK. I thought music died in the 2000's until I discovered continental Europe had SUPERIOR music - bands from Bulgaria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, France, Poland, and MORE playing Symphonic Metal and Opera.

Stolas

@W S What a stupid, incorrect thing to say. Many amazing singers user autotune as a tool, not a crutch.
