Scarlet light warms my face
Vast seas waved by winds
Shades made by cactus
Reptiles creeping for their lives
I wished you were here
Living our lives in sadness
Forever




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eulen's song "Dunes" paint a vivid picture of a desolate, unforgiving landscape. The first line, "Scarlet light warms my face," brings to mind a scorching, desert sun beating down on the singer. The next line, "Vast seas waved by winds," conjures images of rolling sand dunes stretching as far as the eye can see, with the wind whipping up waves of sand in their wake. The following line, "Shades made by cactus," highlights the scarcity of shade in this inhospitable environment, with only the occasional cactus providing respite for those who dare to wander its desolate expanse.


The final line, "I wished you were here/Living our lives in sadness/Forever," reveals a sense of loneliness and despair within the singer, who longs for someone to share in their misery. This yearning for companionship in the face of such a hostile climate speaks to the fundamental human need for connection, even in the most trying of circumstances.
