Days Of Crying
Dawn of Destiny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I hope that nothing remains
I feel my misery
Endless days of crying
I am awakened from a dream
A dream, or was it still reality?
Things are not the way they seem
But still I feel captured, closed in
Trying, how?
And I realize why I'm here
Seems so many things do appear
Every night I wish away my sickness
Every night I try to scream out my pain
And I pray for the end of my days
And I hope that nothing remains
I feel my misery
Endless days of crying
Have I reached the world in my mind?
And see the past before my eyes
All my mistakes pour over me
But will surround me too
Seems like I wasted too much time
With things not so important
I miss my friends, my family
All this time, it makes me see
Lord, please hear my voice
God, this is all vain
And I pray for the end of my days
And I hope that nothing remains
I feel my misery
Endless days of crying
And I pray for the end of my days
And I hope that nothing remains
I feel my misery
Endless days of crying
Only when it's come to an end
You'll see the things in life so dear
Try to seize the time you have on Earth now
'Cause life can be shorter than you think
And I pray for the end of my days
And I hope that nothing remains
I feel my misery
Endless days of crying
And I pray for the end of my days
And I hope that nothing remains
I feel my misery
Endless days of crying
The lyrics to "Days Of Crying" by Dawn of Destiny embody the pain and suffering of a hopeless soul lost in their own world of misery. The first stanza pays tribute to the singer's sadness and suffering, as they plead for the end of their affliction. The second stanza, however, raises the question of the legitimacy of their reality. Uncertain of whether their dreams were actually reality and vice versa, the singer's life becomes a blur of pain and confusion. The second stanza portrays a longing for the past, past mistakes, lost time, and missed opportunities. The singer's agony is made evident in the final stanza, as they express their desire for God to hear their voice and acknowledge their existence.
In the end, the song is a reminder of the fragility of life and how time waits for no one. The singer's relentless despair, fear of abandonment, and hopelessness make for an emotional and relatable experience. A person can become lost in their own emotions and lose their sense of self when burdened by too much pain. The song captures the essence of what goes through the mind of a person reaching the end of their rope.

And I pray for the end of my days
I wish for the end of my life because everything feels hopeless
And I hope that nothing remains
I want everything to disappear because my sadness is unbearable
I feel my misery
I am overwhelmed with depression and pain
Endless days of crying
I cry nonstop because of my sorrow
I am awakened from a dream
I am brought back to reality after dreaming
A dream, or was it still reality?
I'm unsure if what I'm experiencing is true or not
Things are not the way they seem
The reality of the world is different from how it appears
I am here and there is all a fantasy
The world around me feels like an illusion
But still I feel captured, closed in
I remain trapped despite my desire to escape
Trying, how?
I question how to change my situation
And I realize why I'm here
I finally understand my purpose or predicament
Seems so many things do appear
Many issues arise and overwhelm me
Every night I wish away my sickness
At night, I pray for relief from my emotional pain
Every night I try to scream out my pain
I attempt to release my agony through screaming
Have I reached the world in my mind?
I question if my thoughts and reality are the same
And see the past before my eyes
I recall events from the past vividly
All my mistakes pour over me
The errors I've made in life come flooding back
But will surround me too
My errors will continue to impact me in the future
Seems like I wasted too much time
I regret my past and feel I haven't used my time wisely
With things not so important
I spent too much time on things that don't matter in the grand scheme
I miss my friends, my family
I ache for the loved ones I've lost or distanced myself from
All this time, it makes me see
The time spent in misery has given me clarity
Lord, please hear my voice
I pray to God to listen to me
God, this is all vain
I question the purpose of my existence
Only when it's come to an end
Only after something has finished can you truly appreciate it
You'll see the things in life so dear
When something is gone, you realize how precious it truly was
Try to seize the time you have on Earth now
Make the most of the time you have before it's too late
'Cause life can be shorter than you think
Life can be unpredictable and end unexpectedly
