Shallow Grave
Magica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moon slowly fades
Behind the clouds that greater in
Isn't that a tear
I see
Rolling on your skin?
Isn't that fear?
Your eyes betray the sin
There is no one else around
To hear your crying
Rain is falling on my shallow grave
I'm the one you wouldn't save
Rain is falling on my shallow grave
Again
You won't find forgiveness
Don't even try
You know you will do it soon again
It's not about the blade
That cut open my vein
It is not about the blood
It's the lie we both lived in
But this is the end
Your long black hair covers the fallen leaves
The dark will descend
Over a story that
No one believes
All the wet autumn nights
Are charged with anger, you should behave
While the cold wet wind still bites
My specter hovers above
This shallow grave
The lyrics of Magica's song "Shallow Grave" describe a moment of reflection and confrontation between two individuals, one of whom is dead and buried. The person who is alive is dressed in black, and the moon slowly fades as rain falls on the shallow grave. The lyrics suggest that there was some sort of sin or betrayal that led to the burial of the deceased, and the person who is alive is both fearful and tearful at the sight of the grave. The lyrics suggest that there is no forgiveness to be found, and that the relationship between the two individuals was based on lies.
Line by Line Meaning
You're dressed in black
You're showing signs of mourning
Moon slowly fades
The night is coming to an end, and things are changing
Behind the clouds that greater in
The circumstances are getting worse, and everything seems to be moving against you
Isn't that a tear
You're crying, and I can see it
I see
It's evident
Rolling on your skin?
The tear is visible on your skin
Isn't that fear?
You're scared
Your eyes betray the sin
Your eyes reveal the guilt of your actions
There is no one else around
No one is here to hear you cry
To hear your crying
No one can hear your sadness
Rain is falling on my shallow grave
The singer is dead, and they are being rained on in their shallow grave
I'm the one you wouldn't save
The artist was not saved by the person addressed in the song
Again
Repeating a negative experience
You won't find forgiveness
You will not be forgiven
Don't even try
It's futile to try
You know you will do it soon again
The person being addressed will repeat their actions
It's not about the blade
The issue is not the physical harm done
That cut open my vein
The wound causing death is not the root cause of the problem
It is not about the blood
The issue is not the physical evidence of harm
It's the lie we both lived in
The root cause of the problem is the dishonesty that led to the harm
But this is the end
Death has brought an end to something
Your long black hair covers the fallen leaves
A scene is being set, and there are details like hair and leaves
The dark will descend
Darkness is coming
Over a story that
No one believes
No one trusts what has been said
All the wet autumn nights
Many nights have passed
Are charged with anger, you should behave
The atmosphere is negative, and one should act accordingly
While the cold wet wind still bites
The weather is unpleasant and adding to the negative atmosphere
My specter hovers above
The ghost of the artist lingers
This shallow grave
This is where the singer has been buried
