Elegy
Globus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never bent, you always stood
Could plainly tell the trees from wood
You knew to part the wrong from right
To coax the darkness into light

You took me in when hope was lost
You paid with no regard for cost
You gave your time, you always found
A way to keep my feet on the ground

You never broke, you always healed
And favored need above appeal
You came, you saw, you mended foes
An altruistic dynamo

Now this endless elegy
It sings to you
My tormented memory
It yearns for

You never sold what can't be bought
Your majesty just can't be taught
You always stood on moral ground
Provided hope when none was found

You always gave with pure intent
Regardless of the money spent
You propped me up on broken feet
And spread my wings so they could beat

And now this endless elegy
It breaks my heart
Your eternal memory
Tears me apart

In your mourning
Feel my wind blowing down
My love shines
Through the light of your darkness

And now this endless elegy
It praises you, it sings for you
Never ending memory
It yearns for you, it lives for you

You soldier on, you don't give in
Keep pushing water up a hill
You brought this heart back from the brink
And gave this thirsty soul a drink

From dust to dust, we live, we die
Before we've grown we're out of time
And now you're gone while justice cries
I bury you with no goodbyes

God has let you down
God has let you down

God has let you down
And now this endless elegy
God has let you down
Never ending memory





And now this endless elegy
Your eternal memory

WHAT a SONG! Totally revised my opinion on "Break From This World" tonight. And Barbossa, your fade to white was PERFECT.

@OvranoPhanekh

I think there is intentional irony in this song. The song is called Elegy (a poem/song dedicated to someone's death), and the lyrics of Hanifl's vocals are depressing, and even goes as far to say "God has let you down". The irony is that this song without lyrics is such an uplifting song that I feel the sensation of triumph/acceptance/rest, and also the female vocals/lyrics in the middle of the song are very encouraging and positive compared to everything else, and is most likely the voice of the person this Elegy is dedicated too. It really shows how we deal with death, with the ultimate result being acceptance (which leads to rest and triumph) in one's life.

Death can lead to a resurrection

@prandyblue5012

Not so easy to understand the meaning, but absolutely magnificent for me. I dont know, perhaps my favorite sond at the moment. So perfectly composed, it inspires me so fully, it is like crying and loughing at the same moment. Thank you

@adamantix

@Hakkar6993

Nice one on the on-screen lyrics, which I was too lazy to do in my videos.

@ricardoandrescanalesmendoz2067

i love it :v

@Ighbat4u

I so want to love this song! But yeah a agree with you guys! It is so rare to have a song with such a beautiful melody and I can admire the Lyrics but at the same time I don't like anything depressing. Why couldn't this song have been about Jesus!! Such a shame! Kind of reminds me of the song "Hallelujah" beautiful melody but mocks God. Still gave it a thumbs up though.
