Parting
Lyriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though we are condemned to part:
There's such a thing as keeping
A remembrance in one's heart:
There's such a thing as dwelling
On the thought ourselves have nurs'd,
And with scorn and courage telling
We'll not let its follies grieve us,
We'll just take them as they come;
And then every day will leave us
A merry laugh for home.
When we've left each friend and brother,
When we're parted wide and far,
We will think of one another,
As even better than we are.
Wide and far
Every glorious sight above us,
Every pleasant sight beneath,
We'll connect with those that love us,
Whom we truly love till death !
We can burst the bonds which chain us,
Which cold human hands have wrought,
And where none shall dare restrain us
We can meet again, in thought.
When we've left each friend and brother,
When we're parted wide and far,
We will think of one another,
As even better than we are.
When we've left each friend and brother,
When we're parted wide and far,
We will think of one another,
As even better than we are.
In "Parting", Lyriel sings about the pain of separation and how one can cope with it. The singer suggests that instead of focusing on the negative aspects of parting, we should instead cherish the memories that we have created with the person we are parting from. Even though we may leave each other, we can keep our loved ones close by remembering the good times we shared with them. By doing so, the singer says that we can find enough strength to overcome the sadness.
Lyriel asks the listener to be courageous and stand up to the world. The world might seem too big and scary, but the singer argues that we do not need to let its follies trouble us. We should embrace life as it comes and take every day with a merry laugh. Lyriel encourages the listener to be strong and keep their loved ones close in their hearts, even when the world tries to separate them.
The song is full of vivid imagery, with every glorious and pleasant sight reminding the listener of the people they love. The singer suggests that the bonds that hold us can be broken, and we can meet each other again in our thoughts. Each time we think of our loved ones, they become better than they are in reality.
