My Sin
Evig Natt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We would whisper tales of better days
No one but us could hear
Gone with the winter breeze, swept away
Frozen tears with dear for you
Lay me down now leave me here to fade
Touch the ghost of an ardent lover
Child of the cold blood heart
How can I reach?
Pull you out from under
Make you see your lifeline
Tied up to mine
Drown me in your sadness
If it makes you stay here longer
Without you I'm nothing
Hear my calls
They'll draw you closer
I'm down on my knees
You feed of my sin
I loathe what I've become
You feed of my sin
I will never let it wither away
Only you could see me through
Trust the night to bring me back again
All my faith has gone with you
The lyrics to Evig Natt's song My Sin are emotionally heavy and touch upon themes of loss, love, and perseverance. The song opens with an image of two people sharing whispered tales of better days, a moment of intimacy and connection that only they can experience. The image is quickly contrasted with the harsh reality of the present, where those memories have been swept away by the winter breeze, leaving frozen tears in their wake. The sense of loss intensifies as the singer asks to be left to fade away, with only the subject of their affection able to hear them. The lyrics then shift to a plea for help and understanding, with the singer expressing a desire to pull their loved one out from under their sorrows and make them see their lifeline tied up to theirs. The unique metaphor of drowning in your lover's sadness is used to express the depth of the singer's commitment to their loved one, willing to go to any lengths to keep them close. However, the song takes a dark turn as the singer admits to feeling loathing for what they have become, likely a result of the turmoil caused by the loss they have experienced. The song closes with a vow to never let their love wither away, placing their faith in the night to bring them back to their loved one.
Line by Line Meaning
We would whisper tales of better days
We would comfort ourselves by talking about times when things were better
No one but us could hear
Our conversations were private and we shared our own world of memories
Gone with the winter breeze, swept away
The memories and hopes we shared were fleeting and just like the winter, they vanished without a trace
Frozen tears with dear for you
We cried together, over the painful memories we had of losing you
Lay me down now leave me here to fade
I am ready to let go and fade away
No one but you can hear
Only you can understand my pain
Touch the ghost of an ardent lover
I am holding onto the memory of being in love with you
Child of the cold blood heart
You are the source of this unbearable pain that has numbed my heart
How can I reach?
I am struggling to connect with you
Pull you out from under
I want to help you get out from a situation that's holding you down
Make you see your lifeline
I want you to appreciate the good things in your life
Tied up to mine
Our lives are intertwined and I am affected by your struggles
Drown me in your sadness
I am willing to share your pain and sadness in any way I can
If it makes you stay here longer
I don't want you to leave and I'm willing to sacrifice for you
Without you I'm nothing
You are the only thing that gives my life meaning
Hear my calls
I want you to listen to me and hear what I am trying to say
They'll draw you closer
My words will bring us closer together
I'm down on my knees
I'm in a vulnerable position, begging for your attention
You feed of my sin
You use my weaknesses and sins to your advantage
I loathe what I've become
I'm disappointed with myself and how I've allowed myself to be used
I will never let it wither away
I will always cherish the good times and memories we shared
Only you could see me through
You are the only one who can help lead me out of this darkness
Trust the night to bring me back again
Even though I may feel lost right now, I have faith that things will get better
All my faith has gone with you
You were my source of comfort and my faith has left me with you
