My Destiny
Leaves´ Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My destiny
My destiny

I'm so lost
I am damned in this grey lonely valley
Starless nights so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile but then I see your eyes
Through a mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories
I made a promise, a promise
I'm drowning in destiny
My destiny
My destiny

All my hopes fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash
The color red forsaken blood on ice
The evening dawns on me
Do you care when I sleep
Do you mind my destiny

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dawns on me




Do you care where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny

Overall Meaning

The song "My Destiny" by Leaves' Eyes talks about the feeling of being lost after breaking a promise made to a loved one. The first verse says it all: "I made a promise I couldn't keep / I left my love on northern ground / My destiny." The singer is haunted by the guilt of not being able to keep their promise and leaving their loved one behind. The chorus emphasizes the overwhelming sense of resignation and the inevitability of fate, which is described as "my destiny."


The second verse conjures images of a lonely, starless night where the singer is left to their own thoughts and prayers that are slowly drowned out by the weight of their guilt. The lines "I see your smile but then I see your eyes / Through a mist of tears" convey the singer's deeply emotional state. The bridge "All my hopes fearless pride / Drowned in smoke and ash / The color red forsaken blood on ice" is a description of the aftermath of the singer's broken promise, leaving everything in shambles. The final lines "Do you care where I sleep / Do you mind my destiny" express the singer's desperation and hopelessness, asking if the person they left behind still cares and thinks about them.


Overall, "My Destiny" is a powerful song about the struggle of facing the consequences of broken promises and the weight of fate.


Line by Line Meaning

My destiny
The path my life will take, determined by my choices and circumstances


I made a promise I couldn't keep
I made a commitment but was unable to fulfill it


I left my love on northern ground
I had to part with my beloved and leave them behind in a distant place


I'm so lost
I feel directionless and confused


I am damned in this grey lonely valley
I am trapped in a gloomy, desolate place and feel cursed


Starless nights so vast and so black
The nights are dark and devoid of light or hope


My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
My pleas for help are becoming weaker and less hopeful


I see your smile but then I see your eyes
I recall happy memories of you, but they are clouded by the pain of your absence


Through a mist of tears
My eyes are filled with tears and I can barely see


I'm falling into the deep
I am sinking into an emotional abyss


I'm falling
I am losing control and descending into chaos


Drowning in memories
My memories are overwhelming me and making it hard to breathe


I'm drowning in destiny
I am consumed by my fate and cannot escape it


All my hopes fearless pride
My dreams and aspirations, coupled with my unwavering confidence


Drowned in smoke and ash
Reduced to nothing due to catastrophe or disaster


The color red forsaken blood on ice
A violent, tragic event where someone's blood was shed and left to freeze


The evening dawns on me
The night is approaching and bringing with it a sense of weariness


Do you care when I sleep
Do you worry or think about me even when I am resting?


Do you mind my destiny
Does my fate matter to you or do you disregard it?

My Destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My Destiny
My Destiny....

I'm so lost, I am damned
In this grey lonely valley (I'm damned)
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (My Destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny....

All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash (And Ash)
A color red
Forsaken blood on ice
The evening dance on me
And do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (My Destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny....

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dance on me
Do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling, falling
Drowning in memories (My Destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny....

My Destiny (It's My Destiny)
My Destiny (My Destiny)
My Destiny
My Destiny

Her voice in Nymphetamine with Cradle of Filth will forever send chills down my spine. To me her voice gave that song the perfect touch.
