Mare
GAEREA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thy sadness hung around us
An uniform of tailored tears
Clear vision starts to fade away
When freedom was missed
You should scamper away into the black abyss
Loneliness crawls under the skin
An undertone voice shouts through the wind
Mountains were tumbled down one by one
This wide earth the horizon reveals the ocean
Overflowing ecsatsy

Magnificent azure
A lantern uncovers the road
Spectrum of a banshee wrapped in disguise
We have just found a new paradise
This time without any mistakes
Saturation muffled by the pain
Been there with them all
Through the land of nothing
Been there with them all
Through the land of nothing

Broken hourglass
This way leads us to the great fountain
We're stuck in the desert of sand
Wondering if oasis shall be attained

Sunshine is no more
A cloud moves scarcely in the dusk
Will we see any stars?
We are the gazers of fondness
Floods of the sea, foam will melt away
Anxious and numb we await
And it cleary reveals
May our liberating mind crash in the shores

Gentle pond of grease
Under the green seaweed
Set on the banks of a paralyzed routine
We stop to wonder the iron bridge
The black swan flashes
Like windy arcs of bounty
Under a gloomy blanket of shadows
In a celestial and golden sky
Painted in the eyes of the promised land
Only slack memories
Passion has fled for the greater call

I'll run on your command
Gentle breeze of the sea
I hear you calling my name
Dancing with the waves on the coast

Drowned in these waters
Waves of a vain life
Sliding away from the world
We once recalled
Can't control breathing
Each breath is so heavy
The core slowly fades
I soak on my blood

Overall Meaning

"Thy sadness hung around us" in the opening lines of Gaerea's song, Mare, sets the tone for the emotional and melancholic themes the song explores. The lyrics describe the feeling of intense sadness that surrounds the singer, like a heavy cloak they cannot remove. The line "loneliness crawls under the skin" conjures up imagery of isolation and despair. The use of the word "scamper" to describe the act of retreating into the darkness creates a sense of urgency and desperation.


As the song progresses, the lyrics shift towards a more hopeful tone. The singer describes finding a new paradise, a place where they can escape the pain and suffering of their previous existence. The line "we are the gazers of fondness" highlights the power of human connection and how it can help us find meaning in life. However, even in these moments of hope, there is a sense of uncertainty and fear. The singer wonders if their search for a better life will ever truly be fulfilled.


The final verse of the song is particularly poignant. The image of being "drowned in these waters" and "sliding away from the world we once recalled" creates a feeling of being lost at sea, adrift and alone. The mention of breath becoming heavy and the core fading away suggests the end is near. Yet, there is still a sense of defiance in the lyrics, as the singer proclaims, "I'll run on your command" and continues to dance with the waves in their final moments.


Overall, Gaerea's Mare is a deeply emotional and introspective song that explores themes of sadness, loneliness, hope, and the desire for an escape. The lyrics convey a powerful message about the human struggle and the search for meaning in a world that can often be dark and unforgiving.


Line by Line Meaning

Thy sadness hung around us
We were surrounded by deep sadness


An uniform of tailored tears
Tears that were shed perfectly, as if according to a uniform


Clear vision starts to fade away
We begin to lose sight of what's true


When freedom was missed
The absence of freedom is felt


You should scamper away into the black abyss
It's better to run away and hide than confront the difficult reality


Loneliness crawls under the skin
The feeling of loneliness is deeply ingrained within us


An undertone voice shouts through the wind
There is a faint voice that can be heard among the sounds of the wind


Mountains were tumbled down one by one
One's world and sense of stability is crumbling


This wide earth the horizon reveals the ocean
The vastness of the world reveals the unknown and uncertain


Overflowing ecsatsy
A feeling of overwhelming joy and excitement


Magnificent azure
A beautiful and breathtaking shade of blue


A lantern uncovers the road
A light shines a way forward


Spectrum of a banshee wrapped in disguise
A range of emotions, including sorrow and fear, is hidden beneath a disguised exterior


We have just found a new paradise
We have stumbled upon a place that feels like a paradise


This time without any mistakes
This time, we won't make any mistakes


Saturation muffled by the pain
Our fullness and richness of experience is being muted by the pain we feel


Been there with them all
We have been through it all with others


Through the land of nothing
We have traversed through emptiness and despair


Broken hourglass
A metaphor for the passage of time and how it has been broken or lost


This way leads us to the great fountain
The path we are on leads us to something grand and meaningful


We're stuck in the desert of sand
We are lost and trapped in a barren and desolate place


Wondering if oasis shall be attained
Wondering if we will ever find something that can give us relief and comfort


Sunshine is no more
There is no more warmth and brightness in our lives


A cloud moves scarcely in the dusk
There is only a faint movement of clouds during the twilight hour


Will we see any stars?
We wonder if there is anything that can guide us forward


We are the gazers of fondness
We are observers of love and affection


Floods of the sea, foam will melt away
The overwhelming and intense emotions are eventually going to subside


Anxious and numb we await
We are both nervous and detached as we wait for something to happen


And it cleary reveals
Something becomes very apparent and clear


May our liberating mind crash in the shores
May we find freedom and enlightenment in the turmoil and chaos


Gentle pond of grease
A small and unremarkable pool of stagnant water


Under the green seaweed
Hidden and obscured by plants and vegetation


Set on the banks of a paralyzed routine
Stuck in a monotonous and unchanging lifestyle


We stop to wonder the iron bridge
We pause and contemplate a strong and enduring structure


The black swan flashes
A dark and unusual occurrence happens suddenly


Like windy arcs of bounty
As if some sort of reward or treasure is being collected in a whirlwind


Under a gloomy blanket of shadows
Overshadowed by a depressing and dark atmosphere


In a celestial and golden sky
In a beautiful and heavenly setting


Painted in the eyes of the promised land
Seen through the lens of hope and possibility


Only slack memories
All that remains are hazy and lackluster memories


Passion has fled for the greater call
Desire and enthusiasm have given way to a higher purpose or cause


I'll run on your command
I will follow your lead and move forward


Gentle breeze of the sea
A soft and calming wind from the ocean


I hear you calling my name
I sense that something or someone is trying to communicate with me


Dancing with the waves on the coast
In harmony with the movement of the ocean's waves


Drowned in these waters
Overpowered and overwhelmed by life's struggles


Waves of a vain life
The constant ups and downs of life feel meaningless


Sliding away from the world
We are slowly disconnecting and disengaging from society and reality


We once recalled
We used to remember and cherish something


Can't control breathing
Feeling out of control and anxious


Each breath is so heavy
Breathing feels like a burden


The core slowly fades
The essence of who we are is slowly disappearing


I soak on my blood
I am injured and bleeding, both physically and emotionally
