To Ain
GAEREA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not a single lie spit by tongue
As an aimless vagabond I fall
Addicted to lethal life, it's so magnificent
The great boundary among the enlightened
Their blackened visions feed from thy memorials
Provocative veil is lifted
Vain, avaricious, dead
Their irony exceeds them
And the cost, everything
Grotesque flaws
Everyday neuroses
The sound of silence relieves me
Consumes me
Inflicting chaos
To Ain
Nothing he believes is real
As I keep sliding back to life
This is my last flight
Still, silent, serene
Howls from the past
And the birds are not flying high
A muted scream
Suffocates my mind
Is lethargy keeping us alive?
I will not let these flames take me
Sunrise behind the curtain
So peaceful of mind
He's a fantasistA wanderer of the void
I learned not to fear infinity
Seems more like a burden than a source of joy
Going up the stairs
I tend to jump through the fields of glass
These are the colors
Colors of eternity
One by one
With arms wide open
We will fall
To Ain
Chilling whispers
Teardrops
You won't hear the calling
Weeping rivers
Flowing in haunting seas
In waves
Out of key you are, you're so...
This golden dawn will dive with me
Along the shining idols
Twinkle the milky way of life
Stretched to the point
Of never-ending line
Ten thousand stories
Remain untold
I hate mankind, for I am
One of the best of them
And I know how bad I am
What is a man?
A miserable pile of secrets
Cold and vacant
The strange, uncanny, mysterious
And as I fall
Into the abyss
Of this mundane world
I stare and glare
My boundless extent
One by one
With arms wide open
We will fall
To Ain
The lyrics to Gaerea's song "To Ain" are enigmatic and contain several themes, though their ultimate meaning is left open to interpretation. The first few lines of the song suggest a world without oppression and lies, but the singer is still lost and addicted to a deadly, thrilling way of life. The lyrics then shift to referencing an enlightened group whose blackened visions feed on memorials, which could be interpreted as a critique of organized religion or other oppressive institutions.
As the song progresses, the lyrics describe a landscape of grotesque flaws and everyday neuroses, with the sound of silence bringing some relief but also consuming the singer. This is juxtaposed with references to fields of glass and colors of eternity, which suggest a dreamlike state of mind. The song closes with references to falling into the abyss and staring into a boundless extent, which could represent a release from the mundanity of life or a descent into madness.
Overall, the lyrics to "To Ain" evoke a range of emotions and themes, but ultimately leave the listener to interpret their meaning for themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
No oppression on the horizon
There's no indication of any kind of oppression or injustice at present
Not a single lie spit by tongue
No one is telling any lies
As an aimless vagabond I fall
Aimlessly wandering and stumbling through life
Addicted to lethal life, it's so magnificent
Addicted to the thrill of dangerous, deadly life, even though it's terrible
The great boundary among the enlightened
There is a divide between those who are enlightened and those who are not
Their blackened visions feed from thy memorials
Their dark visions are fueled by memories of the past
Provocative veil is lifted
The veil of secrecy and untruths is finally being lifted
Vain, avaricious, dead
They are full of themselves, greedy, selfish, and morally bankrupt
Their irony exceeds them
Their hypocrisy and contradiction is overwhelming
And the cost, everything
They are willing to pay any price for their selfishness
Grotesque flaws
Ugly, horrifying imperfections
Everyday neuroses
Common mental disorders and anxieties
The sound of silence relieves me
Peace and quiet bring me comfort
Consumes me
Overwhelms me
Inflicting chaos
Causing confusion and disorder
To Ain
Falling into nothingness
Nothing he believes is real
Nothing he thinks is true or accurate
As I keep sliding back to life
Continuing to struggle through life and facing obstacles
This is my last flight
This will be my final journey
Still, silent, serene
Calm, peaceful, and quiet
Howls from the past
Echoes of past pain and sorrow
And the birds are not flying high
Things are not going well
A muted scream
A cry that is silent and unheard
Suffocates my mind
Overwhelming me and making it hard to think
Is lethargy keeping us alive?
Is only our laziness preventing us from dying?
I will not let these flames take me
I won't be consumed by the fires of life
Sunrise behind the curtain
A new day is beginning
So peaceful of mind
Feeling a sense of calm
He's a fantasist
Living in a world of his own delusions
A wanderer of the void
Drifting aimlessly without purpose
I learned not to fear infinity
I'm no longer afraid of endlessness
Seems more like a burden than a source of joy
It feels more oppressive than liberating
Going up the stairs
Gradually improving and moving forward
I tend to jump through the fields of glass
I'm always risking my safety and wellbeing
These are the colors
This is the essence
Colors of eternity
Eternal in nature
One by one
Individually
With arms wide open
With no resistance or hesitation
We will fall
We will succumb
Chilling whispers
Creepy, haunting murmers
Teardrops
Tears
You won't hear the calling
You're being ignored or rejected
Weeping rivers
Crying an enormous amount
Flowing in haunting seas
Drowning in sadness and grief
In waves
In recurring cycles
Out of key you are, you're so...
You're behaving oddly or incorrectly
This golden dawn will dive with me
The bright future will end with my death
Along the shining idols
Beside the popular, well-liked people
Twinkle the milky way of life
Life's mystery and wonder are shining brightly
Stretched to the point
Pushed to the limit
Of never-ending line
Without a definitive end
Ten thousand stories
Countless tales and experiences
Remain untold
Will never be shared or revealed
I hate mankind, for I am
I despise humanity because I am one of them
One of the best of them
At the height of the worst of them
And I know how bad I am
I'm fully aware of my own flaws
What is a man?
What defines a human being?
A miserable pile of secrets
A collection of hidden, shameful truths
Cold and vacant
Empty and lifeless
The strange, uncanny, mysterious
Bizarre and enigmatic
And as I fall
As I give in to my fate
Into the abyss
Into a state of nothingness or chaos
I stare and glare
I look intently and fiercely
My boundless extent
My limitless nature
One by one
Individually
With arms wide open
Without resistance or hesitation
We will fall
We will succumb
To Ain
To nothingness or chaos

Listening in Bismarck, North Dakota, USA. Limbo is the first album to really grab me in what seems like years. Something about the way this whole album is pieced together really pulls the listener in!
