Indigo
Divinity Destroyed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am not alone
My guilt for a light that has never shown
This haunting pain feels like home
Suddenly family has another meaning
I'll see you in the next life
Another day goes by for me
And never will
Why did I send you away?
Is all of this worth what you paid?
I won't ever know
I weep for a cross that was never born
If I never knew, would I ever mourn?
Lines fade on a vague moral rainbow
Black and white, day and night
Wrong and right
Oh I envy simplicity
Another day goes by for me
I'm sorry yours was not to be
And never will
How could I bring back what is gone?
I cannot change what I have done
I can only wait
Asleep inside the womb
No stranger place to call a tomb
This way at least you will be
Close to me
And when the night is near
I see you shining bright and clear
Tonight I think I'll count the stars again
I'll never lose a race
I'll never see that smiling face
I'll never get the chance to tuck you in
You have forgiven me
And that's the greatest tragedy
I won't be able to forgive myself
How can I wave goodbye
With blood all over my hands?
The lyrics to Divinity Destroyed's song "Indigo" are deeply personal and emotional. The singer is grappling with feelings of guilt and longing over someone they have lost. They feel haunted by their past actions and the consequences they have wrought, wondering if their choices were ultimately worth the price they paid. The singer also contemplates the nature of morality and the simplicity of a world that operates in black and white, right and wrong.
Despite their pain and regret, the singer finds solace in the idea of being reunited with their loved one in the afterlife. They imagine counting the stars and seeing their lost friend or family member "shining bright and clear" in the night sky. However, the singer is also aware of the impossibility of fully reconciling their actions and finding forgiveness for themselves.
Overall, "Indigo" is a poignant exploration of grief and the complex emotions that come with loss. The lyricist does an excellent job of capturing the nuance and depth of these emotions in a way that feels deeply resonant and relatable.

Each step every day
I move forward little by little every day
I am not alone
Despite feeling alone, I have people in my life
My guilt for a light that has never shown
My guilt is based on something that has never come to light
This haunting pain feels like home
The pain I feel has become familiar and almost comforting
Suddenly family has another meaning
My understanding of family has changed in a significant way
I'll see you in the next life
I believe I will see you again after death
I'm sorry yours was not to be
I regret that you did not get to live any longer
And never will
Your death is permanent
Why did I send you away?
I regret making the decision that led to your departure
Is all of this worth what you paid?
I am questioning whether the cost of your death was worth it
I won't ever know
I will never have an answer to that question
I weep for a cross that was never born
I mourn for something that never got the chance to exist
If I never knew, would I ever mourn?
If I never knew about what could have been, would I still feel sadness?
Lines fade on a vague moral rainbow
Morality is not always clear-cut or straightforward
Black and white, day and night
The dichotomy between good and evil, light and dark
Wrong and right
The concept of right and wrong
Oh I envy simplicity
I wish life was simpler and easier to understand
How could I bring back what is gone?
I realize that there is no way to undo what has been done
I cannot change what I have done
I am unable to undo the past
I can only wait
All I can do now is wait for time to pass and for things to heal
Asleep inside the womb
A metaphor for death
No stranger place to call a tomb
Death is a strange and unfamiliar place to rest
This way at least you will be
By being buried close to me, you can be with me in some way
Close to me
You will always hold a special place in my heart
And when the night is near
When darkness falls
I see you shining bright and clear
I think of you as a bright light in my life
Tonight I think I'll count the stars again
I will reflect on your memory once more tonight
I'll never lose a race
I will never forget you and your legacy
I'll never see that smiling face
I will never be able to see you smile again
I'll never get the chance to tuck you in
I won't ever be able to say goodnight to you again
You have forgiven me
I am grateful that you were able to forgive me before you passed
And that's the greatest tragedy
Despite receiving forgiveness, the loss of you is still painful
I won't be able to forgive myself
Despite your forgiveness, I still struggle to forgive myself
How can I wave goodbye
I am struggling to let you go
With blood all over my hands?
Because of my actions, I feel responsible for your death
