Estrangement
Dreadful Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeing the sun goes down
Before the world sinks in black light
As it's burnt it soars in the universe
Left of feelings and warmth
Only a cold wind stays
A wind devastating everything
A short view - and we fall in the eternity
Free of sorrows and fear
Free of pleasure and luck
Free and thrust out
Praying for another life
The song "Estrangement" by Dreadful Shadows is a melancholic and introspective piece dealing with themes of loss and detachment. The imagery of the setting sun and the birds flying away hint at a sense of finality and inevitability, as the world is engulfed in darkness. The lyrics suggest that the singer has lost all meaningful connections with the world, and is left alone with his or her thoughts and a sense of emptiness. The "cold wind" that is mentioned represents the harsh reality of existence, which can be cruel and relentless.
