Fanisk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In blazing veils of gold.
But Day had reigned already,
And there was little warmth left.
The winds caressed the weary trees,
And sang a last lament--
Unknowing if the light
Would e'er again return.
And turneth its way home.
The clouds trade their moods
With the waxing of the Moon.
The stars take their stead
And recite the names of Night--
As my mind falls in tune
With the eternal becoming.
The lyrics in Fanisk's song V are quite abstract, but they still carry a strong sense of emotion and atmosphere. The opening lines describe a moment when the singer feels the warmth of someone's presence, represented by a "blazing veil of gold" that falls upon them. However, this moment is fleeting, as it comes at a time when "Day had reigned already" and there is "little warmth left." In other words, the singer is experiencing a temporary reprieve from the coldness and harshness of the world, but they know it cannot last.
The following lines depict the natural world around the singer, which seems to mirror their own sense of uncertainty and transience. The "weary trees" are caressed by winds that sing a "last lament," suggesting that the world is preparing for a period of rest or dormancy. The raven "caws calmly" and heads home, implying that even the bird recognizes the changing of the seasons. Meanwhile, the clouds and the Moon trade places, and the stars "recite the names of Night," as if reminding the singer of the inevitable darkness that will come.

Your light, it fell upon me,
I was once touched by your light.
In blazing veils of gold.
Your light was bright and shone like gold.
But Day had reigned already,
But that moment had passed.
And there was little warmth left.
The feeling of that moment had faded away.
The winds caressed the weary trees,
The wind comforted the tired trees.
And sang a last lament--
The wind seemed to be singing a sad song.
Unknowing if the light
Not knowing if the light would come back.
Would e'er again return.
If the light would return again.
The raven caws calmly
The raven was calling softly.
And turneth its way home.
It was returning home.
The clouds trade their moods
The clouds change their appearance.
With the waxing of the Moon.
As the Moon gets bigger.
The stars take their stead
The stars appear in the sky.
And recite the names of Night--
As the night takes over.
As my mind falls in tune
I feel at peace.
With the eternal becoming.
When I feel like I'm part of something bigger.
