Tranquility
Frosttide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I last fought
Through a battle
Now I′m just a shell
Drifting in mist
Without a purpose
I swore
I wouldn't back down
So calm
Leaves no place
For me
No reason to live
Years and years
We fought
For our lives
All I learnt
Has become otiose
Now only one more
Battle undone
Nothing like
The previous ones
Silently I walk in peace
To my decease
As in the waves by the shore
My reflection dissolves
The life in me slowly erodes away
Till I am no more
The immensity of an ocean
Opens before me
The unreachable horizon
Tempts me with its peace
I walk forwards
Towards the beauty I see
Till I can′t breathe
As in the waves by the shore
My reflection dissolves
The life in me slowly erodes away
Till I am no more
Silently
I walk in peace
Till I
Can't breathe
THE OCEANS PEACE
KEEPS TEMPTING ME
SLOWLY I WALK
TO MY DECEASE
As in the waves by the shore
My reflection dissolved
The life in me has eroded away
I am no more
With the ocean's peace
I now belong.
The lyrics of Frosttide's song "Tranquility" reflect a deep contemplation on the transient nature of life and the search for inner peace. The singer of the song has experienced a great deal of struggle and conflict in the past, having gone through numerous battles. However, they now find themselves in a state of emptiness and aimlessness, drifting in a mist without a sense of purpose. The peace that surrounds them is so calm and tranquil that it leaves no room for their existence or reason to live.
The song delves into the realization that everything the singer has learned from their battles has become meaningless and irrelevant. They are about to face one final battle, different from all the previous ones, and it carries a sense of futility. As they silently walk towards their demise, their reflection in the waves by the shore begins to dissolve, symbolizing the gradual erosion of their life until there is nothing left.
The immensity of the ocean and the unreachable horizon hold a tempting allure of peace. The singer walks forward, drawn to the beauty they see, until they can no longer breathe. The repetition of "As in the waves by the shore, my reflection dissolves" emphasizes the dissolution of their existence. Finally, they succumb to the ocean's peace, finding their rightful place in the eternal vastness.
Line by Line Meaning
So much has happened
There have been many significant events
Since I last fought
Since the last time I engaged in battle
Through a battle
In the midst of a conflict
Now I'm just a shell
I am now empty and hollow
Drifting in mist
Floating aimlessly in a fog
Without a purpose
Lacking direction or reason
I swore
I made a solemn promise
I wouldn't back down
I would not retreat or surrender
But this peace
However, this tranquility
So calm
Is so serene and still
Leaves no place
Does not provide any space
For me
For my existence or involvement
No reason to live
No purpose or motivation to continue existing
Years and years
For countless years
We fought
We struggled and battled
For our lives
To preserve our own existence
All I learnt
Everything I have learned
Has become otiose
Has become useless or obsolete
Now only one more
Now there is only one final
Battle undone
Battle left unfinished or unresolved
Nothing like
Nothing similar to
The previous ones
The battles that came before
Silently I walk in peace
Quietly, I move forward in tranquility
To my decease
Towards my own death
As in the waves by the shore
Just like the waves near the beach
My reflection dissolves
My image fades away
The life in me slowly erodes away
My vitality gradually diminishes
Till I am no more
Until I cease to exist
The immensity of an ocean
The vastness of a sea
Opens before me
Expands in front of me
The unreachable horizon
The distant boundary that cannot be reached
Tempts me with its peace
Entices me with its tranquility
I walk forwards
I continue moving ahead
Towards the beauty I see
Towards the captivating sight I perceive
Till I can't breathe
Until I am unable to breathe
THE OCEANS PEACE
The serenity of the ocean
KEEPS TEMPTING ME
Continues to allure me
SLOWLY I WALK
I walk at a leisurely pace
TO MY DECEASE
Towards my own demise
The life in me has eroded away
My vitality has completely worn away
I am no more
I no longer exist
With the ocean's peace
In harmony with the tranquility of the sea
I now belong
I now have a sense of belonging
