In My Death I Dream of You
Evig Natt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Stein]

A taste of your kiss, soothes my heart
Your eyes, looking at me, but you can't see
All of my pain, of leaving you this way
My heart eager to speak, but silence screams

How could I have known?
How could I let this go on?
How could I let you go?
How could I have loved you this way?

In my death I dream of you
I hope I'll never awake
'cause in my death I dream of you
I hope I'll never awake

The pain in my heart yearning your sweet touch
All my fears, drown into darkness
Drifting away, your eyes look back at me
I try to reach out, but my scars are too deep

How could I have known?
How could I let this go on?
How could I let you go?
How could I have loved you this way?

In my death I dream of you
I hope I'll never awake




'cause in my death I dream of you
I hope I'll never awake

Overall Meaning

This song explores themes of regret, longing, and the pain of letting someone go. The singer is consumed with thoughts of their past love and the things they wish they could have done differently. The opening lines describe the solace that can still be found in memories of their love, particularly in the sensation of their partner's kiss. However, there is a sense of distance and inability to connect - the partner's gaze passes over the singer but does not seem to see them. This mirrors the singer's own feelings of helplessness, as though they are screaming in silence with no one to hear them.


The repetition of the question "How could I have..." suggests a deep sense of regret and self-blame. The singer is haunted by the things they did or did not do, the decisions they made that led to the end of their relationship. There is a sense of desperation in these lyrics, a wish to undo the past but knowing that it is impossible. The final lines reveal the depth of the singer's longing and pain - they dream of their lost love in death, hoping to never awaken and face reality without them.


Overall, "In My Death I Dream of You" is a deeply melancholic and emotional song that captures the complex emotions of heartbreak and regret. The use of vivid imagery and repetition helps to reinforce these themes, and the haunting melody and vocals add to the sense of longing and sorrow.
