The Spell
Harvest Lyrics

Silent dust... sounds of hope
My sight gets lost on the horizon
A lifeless soil awaits
All the upcoming rain
I am free
I breathe
I am free

Overall Meaning

In "The Spell" by Harvest, the opening lines seem to describe a desolate and abandoned landscape with "silent dust" and "lifeless soil" waiting for rain to revive it. However, the next line brings a sense of hope with the "sounds of hope" that can be heard, perhaps indicating that there is still life and potential in this desolate place. The singer's sight is lost on the horizon, indicating that they may be feeling lost or unsure about their future. The repeated phrase "I am free" could indicate a sense of liberation or finding oneself in this isolated place.

The overall theme of the song appears to be the cyclical nature of life and death, and how even in the darkest moments, there is still hope and potential for growth and rebirth. The lyrics could also be interpreted as a meditation or reflection on the impermanence of life and the importance of living in the present moment. The repeated line "I breathe" could be seen as a reminder to focus on the present and to appreciate the simple things in life.
