Before Dusk
Daemon Lost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up to find everything seems to be exactly like yesterday
Sunshine caresses my face, brightness comes into my eyes
I walk normally, nothing seems to disturb my slow steps forward
That lead me to a man in white speaking about my fate

All I ask is for a voice before the dusk
I want to embrace the coming night
Smiling one last time

The walls come close as I can't seem to understand why
Tears in my eyes, fear in my soul, rage in my hands
The dusk is close and my heart sinks: I am alone
I feel insane, could this silence be all I have?

All I ask is for a voice before the dusk
I want to embrace the coming night
Smiling one last time

All I asked was for a smile before the dusk
Now I embrace the newborn night with tears in my eyes

The dusk has come, my eyes now close
I wake up to find everything seems to be exactly like yesterday

Sunshine caresses my face, brightness comes into my eyes
I walk normally, nothing seems to disturb my slow steps forward
That lead me to a man in white speaking about my fate

All I ask is for a voice before the dusk
I want to embrace the coming night
Smiling one last time





The walls come close as I can't seem to understand why

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daemon Lost's song "Before Dusk" speak about the universal human emotion of uncertainty and the desire for a sense of closure before a final event, in this case before the onset of the night. The song starts with the singer feeling content, waking up to a beautiful day, but is soon confronted with a man in white talking about his fate. This intrusion of uncertainty, someone speaking about his future, causes a sense of unease within him. He then seeks closure by asking for a voice before the dusk to embrace the coming night smiling one last time.


The lyrics then shift to show the singer struggling with the unknown and grappling with his emotions, tears in his eyes, fear in his heart, and rage in his hands. The dusk is slowly approaching and the singer feels more and more alone, leading to a sense of insanity. As the dusk comes, he asks for just a simple smile before facing the night. The final verse ends on a poignant note, with the singer waking up to find himself transported back to the beginning of the song. The cycle repeats, emphasizing how uncertain events can often lead to cycles of repetition in our lives.
