White Lily
Lyriel Lyrics

In the first stanza, the singer is expressing the pain of being left behind by someone they loved. The reference to the fall when leaves decay symbolizes the end of something beautiful, and the fact that the singer didn't know about the departure suggests a suddenness and unexpectedness that added insult to injury. In the second stanza, the tone shifts to one of resentment as the person who left returns to "haunt" the singer's soul. However, there is also a sense of attraction, as if the person has a power over the singer that they cannot resist. The ambiguity of the relationship is captured in the line "Your hands can touch the innocence in me, and tear it all apart so I am free."

The third stanza reveals that there was a time when the relationship was more positive, with loving gestures like hand on face. However, the fleeting moments of happiness are contrasted with the permanency of death, as the singer grows a white lily for each cherished memory on the person's grave. The fourth stanza adds another layer to the complexity of the relationship, with the mention of a game that the singer cannot win. It's unclear what this game represents, but the fact that the person rolls the dice suggests a lack of control or agency on the part of the singer.

In the final stanza, the setting shifts to a lowland with black trees, which creates a sense of foreboding and isolation. The singer describes kissing the person's snow-white skin, which could either represent a desire for reunion or a final farewell. The line "My strength in vain for you'll be all I ever aim" has an air of desperation, as if the singer has given everything for this relationship but still feels unsatisfied. The song ends with a sense of confusion and frustration, as the person who left has returned but seems out of reach.
