Buried Silence
Ice Ages Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Away from all that light, apart from this strange life
We're dancing now, immortal dance we share in twilight

We cry as we fall down, we're staring at the sky
We die tonight ... we take our rest in our silence

Illusion brings back night, and call the darkened tide
In wish for nothingness and void we shall forgive us

In darkness step by step, towards eternal lie.
We are just falling down to find our last deliverance

[Refrain]
Here we have nothing to see
Only curtains of illusions where all the time stands still

In agony, trying to breath
All my useless thoughts are wasted, my unforgiven will

Here you leave and see, I bleed
In this killing and this silent, this filling emptiness

Feeling what's lost, where to flee
And the Shadows that are fading again I lose my way.

[Strophe]
Our silence where we dwell, our silence where we're spelled
Our silence to forget each other once forever.

To ease in misery, to know how deep we fell
No matter what we'll loose, we have it now or never.

And so its time for grief, but never to forgive
We're thrown away from throne of sacred violent fire

Abused we cringe to slaves, within this hollow grave
We're traitors to forget this is our last desire.

Here we have nothing to see
Only curtains of illusions where all the time stands still

In agony, trying to breath
All my useless thoughts are wasted, my unforgiven will

[Refrain]
Here you leave and see, I bleed
In this killing and this silent, this filling emptiness

Feeling what's lost, where to flee
And the Shadows that are fading again I lose my way.

Overall Meaning

The song "Buried Silence" by Ice Ages is a melancholic and introspective dive into the emptiness of life. The first verse describes a separation from reality and the mundanity of human existence, but also a shared experience with an anonymous other, dancing in a timeless twilight. The second verse talks about the desire for nothingness and the void, a yearning for oblivion and an escape from pain. The refrain repeats the idea that we are trapped in illusions and useless thoughts, unable to escape the filling emptiness that surrounds us. The last verse speaks of a shared silence in which the two subjects of the song dwell, a silence that spells forgetfulness, misery, and unforgiveness. They have reached the point of no return, the climax of their mutual desire, but they are still trying to find a way out.
