Rêverie
Decay To Remain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for the passage
For salvation
Tethered from the void
Rise from the shadows
Your blackened heart
Searching, Craving
Longing for desolation
The burning ruins
Your dark desires
Won´t hear you pray
My cursed destiny
In lucid reverie
Decays relentlessly
But remains in memory
Nocturnal Phantoms cry
While the moonlight dies
I am paralyzed
Fainting out of life
Burried in dreadfull dreams
Fearing how it hurts
It tears me up
Restless slumber
I am affraid
To sleep again
My cursed destiny
In lucid reverie
Decays relentlessly
But remains in memory
I rest myself
In Morpheus embrace
I wake up in extasy
Plunge back into reality
My nightmares bound to come alive
And nothings left lock up inside
Pave their way when I´m asleep
Unrelenting malady
No one will survive
Drained and hollow
Wide awake and trembling
They have taken
My everything
My sins and failures
I can´t redeem
My cursed destiny
In lucid reverie
Decays relentlessly
But remains in memory
My cursed destiny
In lucid reverie
Decays relentlessly
But remains in memory
In reverie
The lyrics of Decay To Remain's song "Reverie" delve into themes of inner conflict, despair, and the perpetual struggle between dreams and reality. The singer is portrayed as being adrift in a dark, haunting dream world, desperately seeking solace and redemption amidst the chaos within their soul. The imagery of being "lost inside a dream" and "looking for the passage for salvation" suggests a deep yearning for release from inner turmoil and a desire for spiritual or emotional salvation.
The mention of a "blackened heart" and "burning ruins" alludes to the decay and destruction that the singer feels within themselves, as they grapple with their own dark desires and the weight of their cursed destiny. The repetition of phrases like "decays relentlessly but remains in memory" paints a visceral picture of a mind torn between letting go of the past and being haunted by it, unable to escape the cycle of decay and reminiscence.
The singer's fear of succumbing to their nightmares and the vivid imagery of being "buried in dreadful dreams" evoke a sense of helplessness and desperation, as they struggle to confront their inner demons. The juxtaposition of being "paralyzed" in the face of nocturnal phantoms and then awakening in "ecstasy" only to be pulled back into the harshness of reality highlights the cyclical nature of their torment, unable to find permanent peace or respite from their inner turmoil.
As the lyrics progress, the sense of resignation and sorrow deepens, with the singer lamenting their inability to redeem their "sins and failures" and feeling drained of hope or salvation. The final repetition of the chorus, "My cursed destiny in lucid reverie decays relentlessly but remains in memory," underscores the enduring grip of their inner struggles, despite their attempts to break free. Ultimately, "Reverie" paints a vivid portrait of a soul trapped in a perpetual cycle of decay and haunting memories, unable to fully escape the darkness that plagues them.

Drained and hollow
Emotionally and spiritually depleted and vacant
Wide awake and trembling

My everything
All that defined or mattered has been seized
My sins and failures
Acknowledging personal wrongdoings and shortcomings
I can´t redeem
Unable to make amends or find forgiveness
