Sadness
Gatti-Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a bluebird in winter on a desolate tree
I hear the other birds as they're laughing at me
Sadness, sadness, my eternal bride
Dark clouds loom overhead with no place to hide

Every rose has its thorn, my bloody hands prove
And she's watching and controlling my every move
Sadness, sadness, like the enemy birds
Offers nothing to help me, just more empty words

Sadness, I must escape from this lonely world
With determination and my wings unfurled
Then I see your dark eyes and the sadness returns
You plague me and faze me, my weary heart burns

I cannot find refuge in the cold winter snow
Your aura still lingers, just letting me know




Sadness, sadness, I surrender my soul
Happiness in my life, an impossible goal...

Overall Meaning

In Gatti-Vision's song Sadness, the lyrics describe a feeling of being trapped and surrounded by sadness, with no escape from it. The metaphor of a bluebird in winter on a desolate tree represents the feeling of isolation and desperation, as the other birds laugh at it. The sadness in the lyrics is referred to as the "eternal bride", indicating that it is a long-term and constant presence in the singer's life. The dark clouds loom overhead, creating a sense of foreboding and further adding to the feeling of being trapped.


The lyrics also touch on the idea that every rose has its thorn, indicating that even beauty has its downsides. The singer's bloody hands could represent the sacrifices that he has made or the pain that he has endured in his pursuit of something he desires. The enemy birds offer nothing to help him, just more empty words, reflecting the experience of being let down by others in times of need.


The lyrics suggest that the singer has a desire to escape from the world of sadness and isolation, with determination and his wings unfurled. However, the dark eyes of someone else return him to sadness and cause his weary heart to burn, indicating that maybe this person is the source of his pain. The final lines express a sense of defeat as the singer surrenders his soul to sadness, feeling that happiness in his life is an impossible goal.
