Ascent
Ikuinen Kaamos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The raindrops
Glitter like stars through the leaves
The man leans against
A high cliff side
And mutters alone in an echoing deep
Voice
The past of bleak
Oblivion
The figment of intoxicated mind
The gruesome
Murder of purity
And the guilt weighs his
Heart
Ending lives without judgement
Entrusting the soul
To mercy
Watching as the time passes by
The man
Raises his head in sorrow
And stares beyond the
Cliffs
He dreams of the timeless fall
Air that frees the
Fallen soul
The ground on his tired sight
Turns into
Vast darkness
The man gathers his last strength
And
Takes the first step of the ascent
The lyrics of Ikuinen Kaamos’s song “Ascent” tell the story of a man who is standing by a high cliff side, muttering alone in an echoing deep voice. As the freezing rain ceases to fall on earth, the raindrops glitter like stars through the leaves. The man recalls his past of bleak oblivion and the gruesome murder of purity, which has left him with heavy guilt and a burdened heart. He remembers ending lives without judgement and entrusting the soul to mercy, watching as time passes by. As he raises his head in sorrow and stares beyond the cliffs, he dreams of the timeless fall, air that frees the fallen soul. The ground on his tired sight turns into vast darkness, but the man gathers his last strength and takes the first step of the ascent.
The lyrics of “Ascent” delve into themes of guilt, regret, and the search for redemption. The man’s struggle with his past is palpable in his vivid memory of the “gruesome murder of purity,” which has left him with a weighted heart. He dreams of a “timeless fall” and “air that frees the fallen soul,” suggesting his desire to be rid of the guilt and the burden of his past. The cold rain that ceases to fall and the starry glitter through the leaves add to the haunting mood of the song. The ascent that the man takes at the end of the song could be seen as his attempt to rise above his past and find a new beginning.

The cold rain stops pouring down from the sky to touch the ground
The raindrops
Rainwater that has turned into small droplets
Glitter like stars through the leaves
Reflecting off of the leaves, the raindrops sparkle like stars
The man leans against
With his back against something for support, the man stands
A high cliff side
Beside the steep, tall rockface the man stands
And mutters alone in an echoing deep
Speaking to himself, the man's voice reverberates throughout the deep chasm

To mercy

The man raises his head in sorrow
The man lifts his head up with a grim, despondent expression
And stares beyond the
Without looking at anything specific, he gazes forward
Cliffs
The steep, rocky formations by the sea
He dreams of the timeless fall
He imagines falling without end
Air that frees the
The atmosphere that liberates
Fallen soul
Someone's spirit that has descended
The ground on his tired sight
The earth appears weary to the man's eyes
Turns into
Changing from one state to another
Vast darkness
A space devoid of light, empty and desolate
The man gathers his last strength
With one final effort, the man summons his remaining energy
And
Together or at the same time as
Takes the first step of the ascent
Starting to climb upward, the man takes the initial movement
