The Wind
Black Symphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her innocence, mesmerizing.
She's not confused in her direction.
Her kiss is now your addiction.
On and on and on the wind blows.
On and on she's calling you.
She's calling you
She's calling you
She's calling you
The sun paints a perfect sky.
While lady evils clouds slither by.
Her howl echoes through the night.
While the trees rumble with delight.
On and on and on the wind blows.
On and on she's calling you.
She's calling you
She's calling you
She's calling you
She's calling you
The sky is black
Brace for attack,
Wisdom we lack,
The strong fight back,
The weak get smack,
One more hit of crack,
Our system's out of whack,
Our system's out of whack,
Reach for the sky,
Your so bloody high,
Your next to die,
Believe it's no lie,
You're too late to try,
You should've stayed dry,
The Wind by Black Symphony is a song that explores the seductive nature of addiction. The wind in the song represents the alluring pull of addictive behavior. The lyrics suggest that addiction comes to a person relentlessly, like the wind. The lines "On and on and on the wind blows. On and on she's calling you" reinforce this idea. The wind is portrayed as innocent and mesmerizing, which is perhaps the perfect analogy for addiction.
The wind is compared to "lady evil's clouds" which "slither by," suggesting that addiction can also take on a dark, ominous quality. The line "Her kiss is now your addiction" suggests that the initial pleasure of indulging in addiction can quickly turn into a dangerous obsession. The chorus itself is a repetition of the phrase "she's calling you," emphasizing the hypnotic and relentless pull of addiction.
The shift in the second verse suggests that addiction can be both a seductive and destructive force. The "lady evil's clouds" suggest the darkness and destruction that can accompany addiction. The line "The strong fight back" suggests that resisting addiction is a difficult battle. The final lines of the song suggest that addiction is ultimately a losing battle, with the lines "You're too late to try, you should've stayed dry" conveying a sense of hopelessness and regret.
