dawn
Mental Crypt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As autumn grasp my sense, reflection fills my mind
Faded in the past, forgotten memories grind

Hidden feeling died, never to be shown
Discovering the lies, consciousness have grown

Acceptance will defeat, resentfulness retreat
Buried wishes rise, uncover the disguise

Black turns into white
The pendulum of life
Heedless you lied, black tears I cried
The tide has turned, unscarred, unburned
Regained control, I'm set to roll
No time to mourn, a new day is born

Immunity to pain
Laughing in the rain
Say good-bye to moan
And face a glorious dawn

In consequence of this, betrayal with a kiss
Flamboyance have died, swallow the unpride

Black turns into white
The pendulum of life
Heedless you lied, black tears I cried
The tide has turned, unscarred, unburned
Regained control, I'm set to roll
No time to mourn, a new day is born

Immunity to pain
Laughing in the rain




Say goodbye to moan
And face a glorious dawn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mental Crypt's song "Dawn" reflect upon a period of emotional turmoil and personal growth. The first two lines depict the singer's emotional state, being overwhelmed by the onset of autumn and the resultant need for self-contemplation. Memories of the past resurface, yet they are clouded with time and forgotten. The next two lines describe the suppression of emotions and eventual realization of the singer, who is discovering the lies that they have been told by others and themselves. This leads to a breakthrough in their consciousness, as they grow to accept their past and choose to let go of resentfulness. Dreams buried inside them begin to surface and the disguise of the suppressed version of themselves is uncovered to reveal their true self.


The chorus lines of "black turning into white" metaphorically represent the duality of experiences in life, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad. The pendulum of life swings back and forth between these two extremes. The singer tells the person who lied to them with no remorse about the black tears they cried, but the tide has turned, and they have emerged unscarred and unburned. They have regained control over their life, ready to grab the opportunities the new day has to offer, with no time to mourn the past. They have developed immunity to pain and can now laugh in the face of adversity, ready to embrace a glorious dawn.
