Shades
Kadinja Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Near of the stone eruptions
And frozen matters
I watch the time
And the curved line of traumas/futures

Seeking the present object
My body lost itself in the shades
Of a burning city

Heat emissions
Bright colors saturate my eyes
Saturate my eyes

Behind the horizon
Where the sky caresses the earth/stars
When the red sun dies
And takes us in his sleep
I try to keep the reflections
When the red sun dies

There were so many times
There were so many…
Times
Without connections with life
I only thought of the past
To make a future
I only thought of a past
To make a fucking future
I missed so many times to fuck
It's not a question of luck

Behind the horizon
Where the sky caresses the earth/stars
When the red sun dies
And takes us…
And takes us in his sleep

I stayed here
With the last kiss of our love
To understand myself
And I created a new fate

Moving the masses
Drawing the new centers of gravity
To forgive the past of a conditioned future

Behind the horizon
Where the sky caresses the earth/stars
When the red sun dies
And takes us in his sleep

I try to keep the reflections
When the red sun dies

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of Kadinja's "Shades" describes a scene of volcanic activity and frozen landscapes, where the singer is observing the passage of time and the uncertain future ahead. Despite the stark imagery, the singer's attention is drawn to the present moment, but they feel lost in the shadows of a burning city. The heat and brightness of the scene come with overwhelming sensations that "saturate" their eyes, suggesting a sense of being overwhelmed or blinded by the experience.

In the second stanza, the singer gazes into the sunset, where the sky meets the earth and stars, and imagines the moment when the red sun vanishes into the night. Here, they try to hold onto reflections of the past, suggesting a lingering nostalgia or a desire to learn from past mistakes. The repetition of "there were so many times" highlights a sense of regret for missed opportunities and a longing for connection and intimacy, which transcends time and space.

In the final stanza, the singer assumes agency over their fate, taking responsibility for their past and carving out a new direction for the future. They want to move the masses and create new centers of gravity, suggesting a desire for social change and a willingness to take bold actions. Even as the red sun takes them in its sleep, the singer tries to hold onto the light and the reflections that guide them forward.

Line by Line Meaning

Near of the stone eruptions
Close to the explosive disturbances

And frozen matters
And the cold, solid materials

I watch the time
I observe the passing of time

And the curved line of traumas/futures
And the twisted path of past sorrows and future possibilities

Seeking the present object
Looking for the current focus

My body lost itself in the shades
My physical form became enshrouded in the darkness

Of a burning city
Of a city in flames

Heat emissions
Radiating warmth

Bright colors saturate my eyes
Vivid hues overwhelm my vision

Behind the horizon
Beyond the visible edge

Where the sky caresses the earth/stars
Where the heavens meet the land/cosmos

When the red sun dies
At sunset

And takes us in his sleep
And lulls us into slumber

I try to keep the reflections
I attempt to retain the images

There were so many times
There were countless occasions

There were so many…
There were so many…

Times
Instances

Without connections with life
Without links to existence

I only thought of the past
I solely dwelled on history

To make a future
To form a destiny

I only thought of a past
I only reminisced about the past

To make a fucking future
To create a damn future

I missed so many times to fuck
I missed numerous opportunities for intimacy

It's not a question of luck
It's not a matter of chance

I stayed here
I remained in this place

With the last kiss of our love
With the final embrace of our affection

To understand myself
To comprehend my own being

And I created a new fate
And I generated a fresh destiny

Moving the masses
Mobilizing the crowds

Drawing the new centers of gravity
Establishing new focal points

To forgive the past of a conditioned future
To pardon the past in order to unlock a predetermined future

I agree, it was amazing. Was wondering where all their older stuff disappeared to (including their video of the demo version of GLHF), such a shame they took them down.
