Stormbirds
Evereve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a storm-driven bird at night
We came flying out of nowhere
And for a moment our wings gleamed
Like gold in the light of fire
And are gone again to the nowhere

The cold grey sea, it waits for me
And the foaming waves call me down
To howling winds and a steel blue sky
But the cold grey sea calls forever

Like gold fall the leaves an the wind
When farewell time, autumn has come
All these years they have passed
Like the wave on the shore of the sea

Time passes, the place I search for
It's still just a longing inside
Something strange and unknown to me




To be grounded somewhere, no longer
A stormbird in shaking and howling

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of Evereve's song Stormbirds describes the feeling of being constantly on the move like a storm-driven bird at night. The sudden appearance of the bird in the sky is likened to the singer's emergence out of nowhere. The imagery of wings gleaming like gold in the light of fire is a symbol for an ephemeral moment of hope and possibility. The metaphor of the storm-driven bird captures the feeling of being lost and disconnected from a grounding force or a sense of belonging. The verse ends with the singer feeling like they are gone again to the nowhere, implying the sense of aimlessness and lack of direction.


The chorus of the song further emphasizes the themes of longing and isolation. As the cold grey sea waits for the singer, they are pulled downward by the foaming waves, symbolizing the inevitability of the singer's fate. The howling winds and the steel blue sky around reinforce the sense of isolation and abandonment. The singer acknowledges that the cold grey sea calls forever, depicting a sense of resignation to a fate that cannot be avoided. The second verse of the song describes the fleetingness of life, compared to the changing of seasons, and how time passes by like the waves on the shore of the sea. It ends with the singer's realization that their search for a place to belong is still just a longing inside, something strange and unknown to them.
