The Storm
Eclipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is an emergency
this is an emergency
just like a breaking wave
a moment of life and then its gone
back to the dust of stars, we're always gonna be
theres a moment to live when the flame disappears
theres a moment to die and we're left in despair
just take my heart, away
this is an emergency
screaming for help I feel im falling
this is an emergency
somewhere in the distance see you calling
and from ashes to ashes dust to dust
no exit no escape out of the storm
the night is a lonely place
and if we should falter on our way
and taking the final leap into the great unknown
theres a reason to fight when our chances are thin
theres a reason to lose when we just cannot win
so take my heart, away
this is an emergency
screaming for help I feel im falling
this is an emergency
somewhere in the distance see you calling
and from ashes to ashes dust to dust
no exit no escape out of the storm
"guitar solo"
cause this is an emergency
screaming for help I feel i'm falling
cause this is an emergency
somewhere in the distance see you calling




cause from ashes to ashes dust to dust
no exit no escape out of the storm.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eclipse's song "The Storm" convey a sense of urgency and desperation in the face of mortality. The repeated phrase "this is an emergency" emphasizes the gravity of the situation, suggesting that life is precious and fleeting. The comparison to a breaking wave reinforces this idea, as the wave is a beautiful and powerful force that is quickly dissipated into nothingness.


The lyrics also touch on the themes of hope and despair. The reference to the "flame disappearing" suggests that even in the face of overwhelming odds, there is always a chance to fight and make a difference. However, the line "theres a reason to lose when we just cannot win" acknowledges that sometimes, despite our best efforts, we may not be able to escape the storm.


Overall, the message of the song is one of emotional intensity and a call to action. It encourages the listener to seize the moment and make the most of their time on earth, even when the odds seem stacked against them.

Back to the dust of stars, we're always gonna be
