Viënna
Infernal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying, waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame

So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until

The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings

A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold gray sky
It fades to the distance

The image has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

This means nothing to me




This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Infernal's song Vienna depict a couple walking in the cold air, with their freezing breath visible on a window pane. As they lie and wait, they observe a man in a dark picture frame, whose voice reaches out to them in a mystic and soulful manner. The haunting notes of the music and the pizzicato strings seem to weave a story, calling to them rhythmically, and the cool empty silence of the night is only interrupted by the warmth of their hands and the cold grey sky. But eventually, the image fades away, and the feeling is gone, leaving them with nothing but memories that "mean nothing" to them.


These lyrics have a sense of melancholy and nostalgia, with the imagery of the cold night air and the fading of the picture creating a mood of wistfulness and loss. The theme of memory and the fleeting nature of emotions is also prominent, with the couple's experience in Vienna being something that they will remember long after the night is done, but ultimately does not hold any significant meaning or impact on their lives. The repetition of the line "This means nothing to me" emphasizes this idea of impermanence, highlighting how easily experiences can be forgotten or dismissed.


Overall, the lyrics to Vienna are a poetic and emotionally evocative exploration of transience and the power of memory. The haunting music and soulful vocals only add to the mood, making this a powerful and memorable song.

We walked in the cold air
We took a walk under the freezing cold air


Freezing breath on a window pane
Our breath fogged up a window from the cold air


Lying, waiting
We were laying around, waiting for something to happen


A man in the dark in a picture frame
We saw a mysterious figure in a picture frame


So mystic and soulful
The atmosphere was mysterious and full of feeling


A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
A voice cried out with a sharp, emotional tone


It stays with you until
The feeling or memory lingers with you for some time

That moment or memory doesn't have significance


This means nothing to me
What we experienced had no impact or value

An expression for the city of Vienna

The music is blending and integrating together


Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The notes and string sounds create a haunting mood


The rhythm is calling

Alone in the night as the daylight brings
Feeling alone in the dark as morning starts to come


A cool empty silence
An eerie and unsettling silence


The warmth of your hand and a cold gray sky
Feeling warmth in the midst of a bleak, cold environment


It fades to the distance
It becomes a distant memory


The image has gone only you and I
The memory only exists between us now


This means nothing to me
The memory doesn't hold any significance


This means nothing to me
What we experienced had no impact or value


Oh, Vienna
An expression for the city of Vienna
