Ephemerae
Dakrua Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The concept of our misery tried to the dreams
Day after day
Trying to escape this certain call to earth's embrace
[Chorus]
Another day lies, another day dies
Another day bleeding our time untold
Another day lies bleeding our time untold
So strong was the bound
To alters of eternity ,ade of cold stone
But weak is our form cast in to the day by the will of God
[Chorus]
Burning my wings in the same fire from which I'm born
To follow the light, to follow myself
Burning my wings, burning my fate
wouldn't you like to know why the wings of life fade
Withered by our own tears, burned by a faking grace
A failed grace...a failed grace
The lyrics to Dakrua's song "Ephemerae" convey a theme of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The opening line "Learn from my sins" suggests a narrator who has lived long enough to gather wisdom from their mistakes. The concept of misery is tied to dreams, suggesting that the pursuit of happiness may often lead to disappointment. The chorus emphasizes the passage of time, noting that each day lost is another opportunity gone forever.
The second verse contrasts the strength of religious beliefs with the frailty of human form. The alters of eternity, made of cold stone, stand in contrast to the flesh and blood of human beings. The will of God, as described here, casts human beings into the day, subjecting them to the passage of time and eventual death.
The final verse brings the theme of mortality to a more personal level, with the singer burning their own wings to follow the light of truth. The lyrical tone turns more desperate, suggesting a sense of futility as the singer struggles against the inevitability of their own fate. The final line suggests that even the grace of a higher power may turn out to be insufficient to grant lasting happiness.
