Dream of a Dead Sun
ColdWorld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
full of darkness and lies,
There' s no living,
Everything died!
No pale blue sky,
No faith in your eyes,
This is my land of darkness built inside!
A new beginning. A Cold World.
With eternal echoes from the night
I'll teach you to find the light!
The darkness calls my name, and I will follow!
The night is getting colder, the frost paralyzed my pain!
Take a step in the land
full of darkness and lies,
There' s no living,
Everything died!
This is my land of darkness stuck in ice!
The lyrics of ColdWorld's song Dream of a Dead Sun presents a bleak and apocalyptic landscape that is shrouded in eternal darkness and devoid of life. The first verse starts with an invitation to take a step into this world, which is built upon lies and darkness. The artist highlights that there is no life or hope in this place; everything has died, leaving no pale blue sky or faith in the eyes of those who dwell there. Thus, this world of darkness is not just a physical realm but a state of mind, a melancholy and depressive one, which the artist built inside himself.
In the second verse, we find the artist longing for a new beginning, one that is complete with eternal echoes from the night. The artist seems to have come to grips with the reality of the darkness around them and considers himself a guide who will teach others how to find the light. The darkness seems to have been embraced so that it can lead them into the light. However, there is a price to pay for such a transformation, the loss of possessions and love. Then, we see the embrace of the darkness, which beckons the artist forward, and the coldness of reality freezes any pain felt.
In conclusion, Dream of a Dead Sun is a dark and haunting portrayal of a world that is mired in darkness, presenting a metaphor for the internal state of a person who is grappling with their personal demons. Beneath the bleakness, there is a beckoning to find the light in the darkness, but it comes at a high cost to the individual. The song communicates a powerful message about the elusive nature of hope and respite from inner struggles.

Take a step in the land
Enter a place of darkness and deceit
full of darkness and lies,
Where there is no light and truth
There's no living,
Life does not exist
Everything died!
All is dead
No pale blue sky,
No blue sky in sight
No faith in your eyes,
You lack faith in what can be seen
This is my land of darkness built inside!
This place of darkness was created within me
Take away from me possessions and love!
Remove all that I have and care for
A new beginning. A Cold World.
Starting anew in a cold and harsh reality
With eternal echoes from the night
Perpetual sounds from the darkness
I'll teach you to find the light!
I will show you how to discover the truth
The darkness calls my name, and I will follow!
I am drawn to the darkness and will pursue it
The night is getting colder, the frost paralyzed my pain!
As the night grows colder, the numbness stops my hurt
This is my land of darkness stuck in ice!
This place of darkness is frozen and unchanging
