The Turning Point
Lacrimosa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Poutaisat pilvet haihtuvat katoen nopesti tuulten mukana kuin tama uni
Jossa en enaa sinua tavoita on liian myohaista

In a dream I saw the world beyond, no tongues telling lies
The silence was covering everything inside
In a dream I saw myself, fallen down next to me
Couldn't crawl back inside my body
No laughter on my face, reality mirrored in the deep signs of life
Too long sacrificed my feelings to the ones
Who take all 'till there's nothing in the end

I'm not in my aim, I've gotta love also the other half of me
To reach the Turning point
As only in my dreams I'm my biggest enemy

Till I'd found out that I only loved your half in me
So much time I spent, not knowing myself
Too much love I'd given for everyone but nothing for me
My light was burning 'till the end

Now you showed me that two full halves make a stronger one
Also out of me and I feel the strength
Returning into me I new-found love again

Couldn't have been fighting alone
Thank you for hearing me on time
I bless you for the trust you gave
When I didn't admit being weak

I am close to my aim truly hoping
I won't fail
Before I reach The turning point
Where we're no longer the same

Didn't notice me change
Was not living the days without names
Now I'm here with you
To stay beyond
The turning point
Of my dreams

O found my aim, now I can face myself
Again
I thank you for




Loving me
And keeping us on the right way

Overall Meaning

The intro verse of Lacrimosa's "The Turning Point" describes a dream in which the singer cannot find his loved one, who has turned away from him permanently. The silence that shrouds the dream world reflects the emptiness within the singer's heart, as he grapples with the realization that he has neglected his own feelings for too long. The subsequent verses reflect on the singer's isolation from himself, due to sacrificing his own emotions for the sake of others, a pattern that leads him to feel like his own worst enemy. It is only after he begins to love and accept all parts of himself that he can experience true inner strength.


The chorus of "The Turning Point" highlights the realization that the turning point in the singer's journey will only be reached when he can fully love and accept himself, and accept that his relationship with his significant other needs to be a partnership of two complete halves rather than one incomplete whole. Once he realizes this, he experiences newfound love and feels blessed for the support he has received along the way.


The song is a reflection on the importance of self-love and self-acceptance, and encourages listeners to prioritize their own emotional needs as well as the needs of the people around them.

The Turning Point

Poutaisat pilvet haihtuvat katoen nopesti tuulten mukana kuin tama uni
Jossa en enaa sinua tavoita on liian myohaista

(Poppy clouds evaporate from the sky with the winds like this dream)

In a dream I saw the world beyond - no tongues telling lies
The silence was covering everything inside
In a dream I saw myself - fallen down next to me
Couldn't crawl back inside my body

No laughter on my face - reality mirrored in the deep signs of life
Too long sacrificed my feelings to the ones
Who take all 'till there's nothing in the end

I'm not in my aim - I've gotta love also the other half of me
To reach the Turning point
As only in my dreams I'm my biggest enemy

Till I'd found out that I only loved your half in me
So much time I spent - not knowing myself
Too much love I'd given for everyone but nothing for me
My light was burning 'till the end

Now you showed me that two full halves make a stronger one
Also out of me and I feel the strength
Returning into me I new-found love again

Couldn't have been fighting alone
Thank you for hearing me on time
I bless you for the trust you gave
When I didn't admit being weak

I am close to my aim truly hoping
I won't fail
Before I reach The turning point
Where we're no longer the same

Didn't notice me change
Was not living the days without names
Now I'm here with you
To stay beyond
The turning point
Of my dreams

O found my aim - now I can face myself
Again
I thank you for
Loving me
And keeping us on the right way
