Gone With The Wind
Blackmore's Night/Black more's Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twisting turning
The winds are burning
Leaving me without a name
How will we ever find our way

Snow was falling
I could hear the frightened calling
Fear taking over every man
Life meaning nothing more than sand

Wind will sweep away
The traces I was here
A story in a teardrop
That's all I have to give

Rage inferno swallowing the life that I know
Strength is the only way to fight
You must look up to see the light

Gone with the wind

Take all I know
Turn it into darkened shadows
They'll disappear in the sun
When a new story has begun

She survived the nightmare
Began a whole new life here
But I can see behind those eyes
She still sees those fires in the night

Twisting and turning
Oh, the winds are burning




Leaving me without a name
How will we ever find our way

Overall Meaning

In "Gone With The Wind," Blackmore's Night sings about a person feeling lost and without an identity in a world where everything seems to be crumbling apart. The opening lines speak of the winds burning and twisting, leaving the singer without a name. The image of the winds burning may represent the destruction and chaos that is happening in their life. The stanza also questions whether they will ever find a way out of the mess they are in. The following lyric speaks of snow falling, accompanied by frightened calls, and the fear that is gripping everyone. Life seems to have lost its meaning, emphasizing that it's fleeting, similar to sand.


The chorus of the song, "Wind will sweep away the traces I was here. A story in a teardrop, that's all I have to give. Rage inferno swallowing the life that I know. Strength is the only way to fight. You must look up to see the light. Gone with the wind," emphasizes that the singer feels their presence is insignificant and that it's easy to be blown away from this world without leaving a trace behind. They believe that the only way to fight this is to show strength and focus on the light, even if it's not easy, as everything seems to have gone with the wind.


In contrast, the final stanza talks about someone who has overcome difficulties and started a new life. Though they have moved on, the memory of the fires at night still lingers in their mind. The song ends with the same lines, possibly representing the singer's unresolved state of mind.

Полюшко-поле,
Полюшко, широко поле.
Едут по полю герои,
Эх, да Красной Армии герои!
Девушки плачут,
Девушкам сегодня грустно,
Милый надолго уехал,
Эх, да милый в армию уехал…

@user-tw7nx7ul7l

Любо!

Great song and movie. I originally saw it when it came on scifi. It was advertised as a scifi original at the time and even though I don't buy that, it's still one of the best movies they've shown.
