Crimson Dust
Catafalque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that this could happen
You abandoned this world
that's full of lies
You left your dreams to me
You left this burden
Was that a punishment to yourself
But now I'm standing
on a desolate hill
and weeping at the damned truth
that I lost you
Why? You're laying down
the place within roses
I believe your innocent soul
has ascended to heaven
There is just one memory
left from you
The crimson dust of your bed
in my hands
Lack of yours and its grief,
hidden in my tears
Ashes to ashes
dust to crimson dust
Your bed turns into red
from your hair
Thousands of stars
on your shadow in the sky
Moonlight is the blaze of your eyes
But now I'm standing
on a desolate hill
And winds are whispering
your name into my ears
The lyrics of Catafalque's song "Crimson Dust" are a reflection of grief and loss as the singer comes to terms with the departure of someone close to them. The song starts with the realization that the person has left this world full of lies, leaving their dreams and burdens to the singer. The singer is left wondering whether their departure was a form of punishment for themselves or for the singer. The next verse of the song reveals the singer standing on a desolate hill, weeping over the fact that they have lost the person. The person's innocent soul is believed to have ascended to heaven, leaving behind just one memory - the crimson dust of their bed in the singer's hands. The lack of the person and the grief of their departure are so strong that they are hidden in the singer's tears. As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the person's bed turns into red from their hair, making a connection between the person's physical remains and the memories of their departure. The singer sees thousands of stars on the person's shadow in the sky, with the moonlight representing the blaze of their eyes. The song ends with the singer still standing on a desolate hill with the wind whispering the person's name into their ears.
Overall, "Crimson Dust" by Catafalque expresses the intensity of feelings experienced by the singer after the loss of someone close. The song explores the challenges of accepting the reality of death and coming to terms with the harshness of separation. The singer's grief is reflected through the imagery of a desolate hill, crimson dust in their hands, and winds whispering the person's name. The hope of the person's soul ascending to heaven also reflects a sense of peace and acceptance, while the haunting memories paint a vivid picture of loss and sorrow.

I wouldn't realize
I never thought this would happen
that this could happen
that you would leave me
You abandoned this world
You left this world behind
that's full of lies
that's filled with deceit
You left your dreams to me
You left your hopes and aspirations to me
You left this burden
You left me with this weight on my shoulders
Was that a punishment to yourself
Did you do this to hurt yourself?
or just for me?
or was it solely for my benefit?
But now I'm standing
But now I find myself
on a desolate hill
in a lonely, empty place
and weeping at the damned truth
crying over the horrible reality
that I lost you
that you're gone for good
Why? You're laying down
Why did you have to leave?
the place within roses
your final resting place among flowers
I believe your innocent soul
I think your pure spirit
has ascended to heaven
went up to the divine realm
There is just one memory
Only one recollection remains
left from you
of you
The crimson dust of your bed
The red remnants of your sleep space
in my hands
held tightly in my grasp
Lack of yours and its grief,
Your absence and the sorrow it brings,
hidden in my tears
concealed within my weeping
Ashes to ashes
From dust you came
dust to crimson dust
And to red dust you shall return
Your bed turns into red
Your bed becomes scarlet
from your hair
from the locks you left behind
Thousands of stars
Countless celestial bodies
on your shadow in the sky
cast on the heavens where you exist
Moonlight is the blaze of your eyes
The light of the moon represents your fiery gaze
But now I'm standing
But now I find myself
on a desolate hill
in a lonely, empty place
And winds are whispering
And the breeze is murmuring
your name into my ears
your name into my consciousness

Bu grubun Türkiye de pek değerinin bilinmemesi ne acı verici... Zeytinli Rock Festivalinde çıkmışlardı 2008 yılında ergendik tabi ne günlerdi ya ^.^

2007 zeytinli rockfest te cıkmıslardı. Hatta yanlış hatırlamıyorsam pentagramdan önce sahne almıslardı
