Le Rouge Et Le Noir
Highlord Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many years have passed by
And lots of things have changed
We're no more the same
And I've seen vanish all my dreams.
I've spent so much time
Tryin' to fight the world
And all it's crimes.
Now only I understand
That this war is with myself.
The winter is ending now
I've always your
Face in my mind no more words
Could let you stay
And no man will light your way
I've spent so much days
Tryin' to find a place where I can stay




There's a voice inside of me
Singin':" I'm my worst enemy".

Line by Line Meaning

So many years have passed by
A long time has elapsed


And lots of things have changed
Much has been altered


We're no more the same
We have changed from what we once were


And I've seen vanish all my dreams.
All my aspirations have disappeared


I've spent so much time
A considerable amount of my life was spent


Tryin' to fight the world
Attempting to oppose the universe


And all it's crimes.
As well as its offenses.


Now only I understand
Currently, only myself comprehends


That this war is with myself.
The struggle is internal


The winter is ending now
Winter is concluding


I've always your
Your image has always been


Face in my mind no more words
Your face is in my mind and no longer are there phrases


Could let you stay
Allowing you to remain is impossible


And no man will light your way
No individual will guide you


I've spent so much days
Many a day I have spent


Tryin' to find a place where I can stay
Seeking for a location where I can remain


There's a voice inside of me
There exists a voice within me


Singin':" I'm my worst enemy".
Singing: 'I am my worst adversary.'
