Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Frostmoon Eclipse's "Ashes" depict a sense of struggle and loss, and the idea of feeling trapped in one's own emotions. The opening lines "I'm bleeding with no words to say, to testify I'm still alive" illustrate the idea of a battle within oneself, feeling the physical and emotional pain of something that may be causing internal conflict. The next lines "I'm crying with no tears you see, to realize that I'm not dead yet" suggest that although the emotional pain is present, there is still hope and a sense of awareness that they are still alive and fighting.


The chorus of the song, with the lyrics "Ashes around me, all I see is ashes, my life is melting, my world is falling" further adds to the idea of loss, the feeling of everything crumbling around you. The word "ashes" particularly emphasizes the idea of something that was once whole and complete, now reduced to nothing but remnants.


The second verse "I'm shattered in a thousand pieces, I'm scattered in this infinite wasteland" further adds to this sense of fragmentation and loss, feeling disconnected from everything around them. However, the lines "I'm searching for the missing pieces, to complete my shattered self" suggests a search for something that may be able to make them feel whole again, or at least help them find a sense of direction.


Overall, the lyrics to "Ashes" convey a deep sense of struggle and pain, but also a sense of hope and perseverance, even in the face of adversity.


Line by Line Meaning

Black skies, ashes in my eyes
The darkness envelops me; the remnants left behind sting my sight


A dying sun bleeds on a wounded sky
As the sun sets, it paints a picture of the sky in agony, bleeding out its last rays


Barren trees the wind does sway
The trees, stripped of their leaves, dance to the tune of the wind, naked and alone


I walk alone, the path ahead unclear
I traverse this journey by myself, unsure of the destination that lies ahead


Silent echoes of a life once dear
The memories of a life that was once cherished now remain only as silent echoes


Ashes of yesterday, a fading farewell
The memories of yesterday blur and fade away, bidding farewell to the past


Lost within the winter's embrace
I've become a captive to the cold, lonely grip of winter


A heart of ice that time can't erase
My heart has turned cold like ice, and even time cannot undo this change


Drifting deeper into a sea of grey
I sink deeper into a world devoid of color, a sea of lifeless gray


With every breath I exhale my decay
With every breath I release the essence of my own decay, the coming of my end


Ashes of life, my final display
When my life comes to an end, all that will remain of me will be ashes, my final legacy


The mournful howling of the wolves
The sound of wolves howling in the distance, a haunting lamentation


Sings a requiem for a dying world
Their mournful cries serve as a farewell song for a world that is slowly fading away


Ashes of humanity, forever twirled
The ashes of what was once humanity will forever be caught in a never-ending spiral
