Homeless
Dreadful Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeing no more goodness at all, it's only hatred I find
I don't want to be the bereaved of a forgotten world
And I don't want to lay me down to fall in endless sleep
I'm drying all my tears; I try to wipe away my sorrows and grief
Right now I'm walking to the land where I find the words that I can receive,
To a place where I can give and understand and forgive and forget
Tell me why do I pray to the lord?
There is no beauty and passion in this world;
Why do I love you, why do I believe,
Why can't I go or slowly disappear?
Now I reached the point where I say I don't care anymore,
I'm sure I'll never find all the things I was looking for,
To hell with your promises, it's a lie
I am waiting for the end I'll get wings and then I'll fly...
Tell me why do I pray to the lord?
There is no beauty and passion in this world;
Why do I love you, why do I believe,
Why can't I go or slowly disappear?
The all my words are meaningless
Why do I ever believe,
Why can't I go or slowly disappear?
Why I pray?
There is no beauty and passion in this world;
Why do I love you, why?
Why can't I go or slowly disappear?
Tell me, why?
Tell me, why?
The song "Homeless" by the German gothic rock band, Dreadful Shadows, is a poignant expression of a person's emotional turmoil and despair. The lyrics speak of the singer's search for solace from the pain and hatred that have taken root in their mind. They are trying to forget the words that trouble them and seek a place where they can find understanding, forgiveness, and forgetfulness. However, they can't find such a place and feel like they are walking to nowhere. The lyrics also reflect the singer's growing disillusionment with life, as they question the purpose of praying to the lord or believing in anyone or anything.
The song conveys a sense of hopelessness and anguish through its evocative lyrics and the lead singer's emotive delivery. The combination of the haunting melody and the rock rhythm further enhances the mood of the song. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the song is its raw honesty - it doesn't shy away from expressing the depth of pain that the singer is feeling, and it doesn't offer any easy solutions or platitudes. It's a powerful and moving composition that will resonate with anyone who has experienced emotional turmoil or felt lost and hopeless at some point in their life.

Trying to forget all the words that wander 'round in my mind
Attempting to forget the thoughts in my head
Seeing no more goodness at all, it's only hatred I find
Finding only negativity and animosity in the world
I don't want to be the bereaved of a forgotten world
I don't want to be saddened by a world that is neglected and disregarded
And I don't want to lay me down to fall in endless sleep
I don't want to give up and die without hope
I'm drying all my tears; I try to wipe away my sorrows and grief
Trying to cope with and overcome sadness and despair
Right now I'm walking to the land where I find the words that I can receive,
Moving towards a place where I can find peace and understanding
To a place where I can give and understand and forgive and forget
A place where I can give, comprehend, forgive, and move on
But I'm walking to nowhere, 'cos a place like that doesn't exist
However, such a place doesn't exist, so my journey isn't leading me anywhere
Tell me why do I pray to the lord?
Questioning the purpose of praying to a higher being
There is no beauty and passion in this world;
Believing that the world lacks beauty and excitement
Why do I love you, why do I believe,
Questioning why love and faith are present
Why can't I go or slowly disappear?
Wondering why it's difficult to escape reality and stop existing
Now I reached the point where I say I don't care anymore,
Reaching a state of apathy and indifference
I'm sure I'll never find all the things I was looking for,
Coming to the realization that desired goals may be unattainable
To hell with your promises, it's a lie
No longer believing in deceitful promises
I am waiting for the end I'll get wings and then I'll fly...
Awaiting the end and, hopefully, an escape from suffering
The all my words are meaningless
Feeling that words have no value or impact
Why do I ever believe,
Questioning why faith exists
Why can't I go or slowly disappear?
Wondering why it's difficult to escape reality and stop existing
Why I pray?
Continuing to question the purpose of praying to a higher being
Tell me, why?
