Magica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the demon that's waiting at the end of my road
Is breaking down my will and my reality.
While I scream inside my agony,
Insanity
My feet are numb, but I must face
This white fatality
Is my reflection in the ice
And I smell death, blood, fear
A scream in the night I hear
For the strength of the gods I pray
To help me on my way
"Muntii de gheata"
The ice is shining on the slippery path under my feet
I nearly drown in all the snow that's falling from the peak.
I follow North, my eyes go blurry, I hear the underworld
But I stay alive from the warmth of the elven sword
And I smell death, blood, fear
A scream in the night I hear
For the strength of the gods I pray
To help me on my way
"Muntii de gheata"
In this song, the artist describes a freezing, treacherous journey through snow-covered mountains. The singer is alone and struggling to keep going, with a sense of despair and too exhausted to scream aloud. Despite the extreme conditions, the singer prays for strength from the gods to continue on their journey. The phrase "Muntii de gheata" repeated in the chorus is Romanian for "Mountains of Ice" which serves as a reminder of the danger and harshness of the surroundings.
The first verse illustrates the singer's mental and physical state as they are challenged by the harsh environment. The demon referred to is likely the symbol of the looming threat of death or the exhaustion that could consume the singer. The demon is "breaking down" their will and reality, and the singer is screaming internally in agony, driven toward insanity. The image of the singer's numb feet and the "white fatality" indicates that the cold is almost too much to bear.
The second verse depicts the singer's struggle to keep going, with the ice and snow making it nearly impossible to maintain footing. Even the sight of their own reflection is a reminder of the harshness and difficulty of their journey. The scent of death, blood, and fear, along with screams heard in the night, make it clear that danger is all around. Despite these conditions, the singer continues to pray for divine intervention and relies on the warmth of their elven sword to keep them going.

My breath in the cold
I'm breathing in the frigid air
And the demon that's waiting at the end of my road
A malevolent figure awaits me at my destination
Is breaking down my will and my reality.
My psyche and sense of existence are being dismantled
While I scream inside my agony, Insanity
I'm internally yelling in anguish and delirium
My feet are numb, but I must face This white fatality
Although my feet are numbed, I must confront this deadly blizzard
I am alone and all I see Is my reflection in the ice
I'm by myself, gazing at my reflection in the frozen landscape
And I smell death, blood, fear A scream in the night I hear For the strength of the gods I pray To help me on my way "Muntii de gheata"
I'm haunted by the scent of death, blood, and fear, as well as the sound of a shriek in the night. I seek the aid of the gods to survive this treacherous journey, as I traverse the snowy "Mountains of Ice."
The ice is shining on the slippery path under my feet
The slippery path beneath me is gleaming with ice
I nearly drown in all the snow that's falling from the peak.
The snowfall from the mountain nearly engulfs me
I follow North, my eyes go blurry, I hear the underworld
Heading North, my vision becomes hazy, and I hear ominous sounds underground
But I stay alive from the warmth of the elven sword
Yet I'm kept alive by the heat emanating from my elven sword
