ISON is a result of the two music like-minded souls of Daniel Änghede ( Crippled Black Phoenix, Hearts of Black Science ) and Heike Langhans ( Draconian, :LOR3L3I: )
Inspired by Drone, Goth & Shoegaze, combined with a deep fascination for the astral planes and the universe.
Travellers
ISON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see them sailing through the atmosphere
These moving arrows of light
See how they illuminate and captivate
Always leaving life behind
Just travellers passing by
Transcend the Sun
And all the spaces in between
The worlds we'll never see
Sail away
Until you fade
I'll find the meaning in the dust you leave behind
Oh, messengers of life
In the haze of stellar storms
I see them soaring through the emptiness
Leaving particles for worlds to form
See how they begin to fade and dissipate
As atoms will collide
I wave these travellers goodbye
Travel on
Transcend the Sun
And all the spaces in between
The worlds we'll never see
Sail away
Until you fade
Still the mystery forever will shine on
In the memory of Ison...
The lyrics of Ison's song Travellers are full of vivid imagery about space and the movement of celestial bodies. The lyrics describe the shifting patterns of light and movement in the night sky, as if the stars and planets are themselves travelers on a mysterious journey through the universe. The song is infused with a sense of awe and wonder at the vastness of space, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the cosmos.
The song's lyrics encourage the listener to transcend the limits of the physical world and travel beyond the sun and the spaces in between, to explore the unknown mysteries of the universe. The lyrics evoke the sense of adventure and wonder that comes with exploring the unknown, and the sense of possibility that exists beyond the confines of our everyday lives. The song's chorus encourages the listener to "travel on" and "sail away," to embrace the unknown and to seek out the meaning in the dust left behind by those who have gone before.
Overall, the lyrics of Travellers are a powerful reminder of the beauty and mystery of space, and of the human desire to explore and understand the world beyond our own. The song encourages us to embrace our sense of adventure and to seek out the unknown, even as we acknowledge the mystery and wonder of the universe.

In the placid shades of night
During peaceful nighttime hours
I see them sailing through the atmosphere
Witnessing objects flying through the air
These moving arrows of light
Bright, swift-moving objects
See how they illuminate and captivate
Noticing how they shine and mesmerize
Always leaving life behind
Never stopping, always moving on
Just travellers passing by
Simply passing through without staying
Travel on
Continue to journey
Transcend the Sun
Rise above the limitations of our universe
And all the spaces in between
Travel through the endless darkness of space
The worlds we'll never see
Other planets and galaxies we can never reach
Sail away
Drift off into the distance
Until you fade
Travel until the light is gone
I'll find the meaning in the dust you leave behind
Discovering significance in the remnants left behind
Oh, messengers of life
Objects symbolizing the journey of life
In the haze of stellar storms
Amidst chaotic events in distant space
I see them soaring through the emptiness
Observing them fly through the vast void
Leaving particles for worlds to form
Creating matter necessary for new worlds
See how they begin to fade and dissipate
Noting their eventual disappearance
As atoms will collide
Due to the natural law of physics
I wave these travellers goodbye
Wishing farewell to the passing objects
Still the mystery forever will shine on
The unexplainable and intriguing aspects will always remain
In the memory of Ison...

Thank you Ditendra for making this video with lyrics. I like this track very much. Especially the narrative "ghostly" voice of Carl Sagan.
