Resurrection
Curious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was drifting through the garden;
pale white lilies passed my way
Small grey women standing
petrifyed on the holy ground
Their faces left me with a smile

The lilies blind me in the fading light of dusk
And the statues still followed on my way
Until the road diverged into two
I closed my eyes and took the one less traveled by

It went on downwards while the night began to reign
And as I swayed into the darkness
It grew colder through an atmosphere of tears
Then a step too far - I tumbled in the depths

I felt some clods thrown on my back
Coloured flowers drizzled side by side
As I was falling into empty space
I nearly heard the women whisper
"Just stay true to yourself"
But I couldn't realize a word

It seemed to me as if the journey`s taking ages
The awful blackness afflicted all my petty wishes

At last the glittering swarm of white doves did appear
With a snow white net weaved of spinning nettles in their bills
Known to me as the defence of dreams
I plunged into the web as hard as stone




So it cought me grievously
It cought me grievously

Line by Line Meaning

I was drifting through the garden;
I wandered aimlessly through the garden;


pale white lilies passed my way
I saw pale, white lilies as I walked;


Small grey women standing
Tiny, grey women were standing;


petrifyed on the holy ground
They were frozen solid on sacred land;


Their faces left me with a smile
For some reason seeing them made me happy;


The lilies blind me in the fading light of dusk
The fading light of dusk made it hard to see the white lilies;


And the statues still followed on my way
The statues still seemed to be watching me as I walked;


Until the road diverged into two
Eventually, the path split into two;


I closed my eyes and took the one less traveled by
I chose to take the road less traveled by closing my eyes and walking down it;


It went on downwards while the night began to reign
The path went down while the darkness settled;


And as I swayed into the darkness
I stumbled into the dark;


It grew colder through an atmosphere of tears
It got colder in the midst of an atmosphere of tears;


Then a step too far - I tumbled in the depths
I took a step too far and stumbled into a deep hole;


I felt some clods thrown on my back
I could feel dirt being thrown on my back;


Coloured flowers drizzled side by side
Flowers of different colors fell next to me;


As I was falling into empty space
As I was free-falling;


I nearly heard the women whisper
I almost heard the women whisper;


"Just stay true to yourself"
"Just be true to yourself"


But I couldn't realize a word
But I didn't quite understand what they meant;


It seemed to me as if the journey`s taking ages
It felt like the journey was taking forever;


The awful blackness afflicted all my petty wishes
The horrible darkness crushed all my trivial desires;


At last the glittering swarm of white doves did appear
Finally, a sparkling group of white doves showed up;


With a snow white net weaved of spinning nettles in their bills
They had a white net made of spinning nettles in their beaks;


Known to me as the defence of dreams
I recognized it as the defense of dreams;


I plunged into the web as hard as stone
I jumped into the net with all my might;


So it cought me grievously
And it caught me terribly;


It cought me grievously
It caught me terribly;
