Melancholy
Mistweaver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a painful dream
Where I stand alone
Waiting just for a sign
My face reflected
In the lake of time
I hope one day
A dream nothing but a dream
A wish full of melancholy
Tears falling from my eyes
I just say goodbye
Mirror mirror on the wall
You once told me something
But now dreaming from this place
I may only cry
Freezing winds
In a painful dream
Where I stand alone
Waiting just for a sign
My face reflected
In the lake of time
I hope one day
I may reach the other shore
I hope one day
I may reach the other shore
The tone of Mistweaver's song "Melancholy" is reflective of the title - it is a sad, mournful piece. The song describes the feeling of being lost and alone, waiting for a sign to show the way forward. The opening stanza describes freezing winds and being alone in a painful dream, waiting for something to happen. The second stanza talks about looking into a lake of time and hoping to reach the other shore. The third and final quatrain adds more weight to the melancholy mood. It speaks of tears falling from the eyes, dreams that can never be fulfilled, and the sadness of having to say goodbye. Taken as a whole, the lyrics create an image of someone who is lost and longs for something more, but feels resigned to wait for the end.
The chorus "Freezing winds in a painful dream, where I stand alone, waiting just for a sign" provides a stark contrast to the verses, making the listener feel as if they are being transported from one scene to another. The use of the lake of time image gives a feeling of reflection and possibility. The final lines, "I hope one day, I may reach the other shore" give a hint of hope, which is the only saving grace of this melancholy song.
Line by Line Meaning
Freezing winds
The cold and harsh reality of life
In a painful dream
Living in a constant state of pain and sadness
Where I stand alone
Being isolated and feeling disconnected
Waiting just for a sign
Longing for a glimmer of hope to hold on to
My face reflected
Seeing a reflection of myself in the past
In the lake of time
Looking back on memories and experiences
I hope one day
Having a small spark of optimism
I may reach the other shore
Reaching a place of peace and contentment
A dream nothing but a dream
Realizing that aspirations may not come to fruition
A wish full of melancholy
Longing for something that only brings sadness
Tears falling from my eyes
The physical manifestation of sorrow
I just say goodbye
Letting go of things beyond my control
Mirror mirror on the wall
A rhetorical question addressed to an imaginary mirror
You once told me something
Recalling past advice or guidance
But now dreaming from this place
Reflecting and dreaming amidst current circumstances
I may only cry
Feeling powerless and overcome with emotion
