Candlelight
Klone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Follow me into the abyss
Swallow your pride and swallow your rubbish
Let me show you the way to fame
You know I'm lying but you enjoy what is fake
A cure against all I reject
A cure against all I suffer every day

This is my own candlelight
Perfectly innocent
A post-holocaust landscape

Follow me into the darkness
Your whole boat is shaking
Let me feel all your fright
And see your face becoming bright
You're afraid of your own shadow
You're afraid to fall down, to dig your hole

This is my own candlelight
Perfectly innocent
A post-holocaust landscape

This is my own candlelight
Perfectly innocent
A post-holocaust landscape

Landscape
Landscape
Landscape

Sometimes I feel my memories
Escaping into the night




My obsessions stay inside of me
Till the end of time, my own candlelight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Klone's song "Candlelight" seem to be a commentary on the allure of fame and the manipulation that often accompanies it. The opening line, "Follow me into the abyss," could be interpreted as an invitation to join in the pursuit of fame, even at the expense of one's own principles and values. The next line, "Swallow your pride and swallow your rubbish," suggests that the singer is offering a way to overcome obstacles or to dispose of unwanted baggage or flaws.


However, the following line, "Let me show you the way to fame," is immediately revealed to be a lie, as the singer acknowledges that what they're offering is "fake." This could be interpreted as a warning against those who offer shortcuts to success or fame, or those who exploit others' desires for their own benefit.


The lines "A cure against all I reject / A cure against all I suffer every day" suggest that the singer may be attempting to find a way to ease their own pain or discomfort, but that it comes at a cost. The repetition of "This is my own candlelight / Perfectly innocent / A post-holocaust landscape" reinforces the idea that what is being offered is both flawed and destructive.


The remainder of the lyrics seem to explore the idea of facing one's fears and insecurities, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable. The lines "You're afraid of your own shadow / You're afraid to fall down, to dig your hole" suggest that the singer is urging their audience to confront their own weaknesses and limitations, rather than simply seeking to escape them through fame or any other external means.


Overall, "Candlelight" is a dark and haunting song that explores themes of manipulation, the allure of fame, and the dangers of taking shortcuts or relying on false promises.
