Eventide
Moonshade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, tainted fiend
Withered, cradled by these woes
Hereby reap my sorrows
Writhing as I decompose

I, enslaved by the profane
Bow to demons of guilt
Shackling this soul to shame

So it seems her absence was my bane
The blade that lacks a hilt
Ashes against the grain

In the eye of the storm birthed from the abyss
Ten thousand hymns are heard, hailing depravity
Embracing the last drops of indigo bliss
Amidst such shapelessness, drowning in lunacy

Here I am
Gouging out my eyes
Rotting as the daylight dies
Exorcized of lies
Crucified, I agonize

Crowned king of disdain
As the castle we built
Washed away with the rain

And thus, these tattered remains
Of adoration unfit
Fell into death's dark domains

Lacking the restraint
To save half of what I am
Adrift in the pain of temptation
The taint of deception
It condemns me to damnation

Gouging out my eyes
Rotting as the daylight dies
Exorcized of lies
Crucified, I agonize

Peace lies in defeat
Hope is now obsolete
A heart's dire beat
Eternally incomplete
Shattered is all deceit
I submit to my defeat

Shedding two lonely tears
One for each of us, my dear




For the end draws near
And soon both of us will disappear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Moonshade's song "Eventide" delve into themes of inner turmoil, guilt, and the consequences of toxic relationships. The singer describes themselves as a tainted fiend, burdened by their sorrows and slowly decomposing. They feel enslaved by their own guilt, bowing to demons and shackling their soul to shame. The absence of someone significant in their life proves to be their downfall, like a blade that lacks a hilt. Their existence becomes ashes against the grain, a painful and futile struggle.


In the eye of the storm, born from the depths of darkness, the singer hears ten thousand hymns that celebrate depravity. They surrender themselves to the last drops of indigo bliss, engulfed in shapelessness and drowning in lunacy. In this state, they gouge out their eyes, rot as the daylight dies, and are exorcised of lies. They feel crucified and agonized, crowned king of disdain as the castle they once built washes away with the rain.


Line by Line Meaning

I, tainted fiend
I, a corrupted individual


Withered, cradled by these woes
My troubles have weakened me and become my constant companion


Hereby reap my sorrows
I acknowledge and accept the consequences of my suffering


Writhing as I decompose
I am in great pain and decay from within


I, enslaved by the profane
I am trapped under the influence of evil and wrongdoing


Bow to demons of guilt
I surrender to the torment of my own conscience


Shackling this soul to shame
I am trapping myself in a state of disgrace


So it seems her absence was my bane
Her departure has become my ultimate source of misery


The blade that lacks a hilt
The pain I feel is uncontained and uncontrollable


Ashes against the grain
I am struggling against the inevitable destruction


In the eye of the storm birthed from the abyss
I find myself in the center of chaos, originating from darkness


Ten thousand hymns are heard, hailing depravity
Countless voices celebrate wickedness and immoral acts


Embracing the last drops of indigo bliss
Finding solace in the fading remnants of fleeting happiness


Amidst such shapelessness, drowning in lunacy
Lost in a formless existence, consumed by insanity


Here I am
This is where I find myself


Gouging out my eyes
Inflicting self-inflicted pain to escape reality


Rotting as the daylight dies
Decaying as the sun sets


Exorcized of lies
Ridding myself of falsehoods and deceptions


Crucified, I agonize
Suffering greatly, resembling the pain of crucifixion


Crowned king of disdain
Given the title of ruler over bitterness and contempt


As the castle we built
Referring to a relationship or strong bond now crumbling


Washed away with the rain
Destroyed and washed away like how rain erodes structures


And thus, these tattered remains
What's left is in a poor and ruined state


Of adoration unfit
Unable to be loved or respected


Fell into death's dark domains
Plunged into the depths of mortality and despair


Lacking the restraint
Being unable to hold back or control oneself


To save half of what I am
Not capable of preserving a significant part of my being


Adrift in the pain of temptation
Lost and consumed by the suffering that arises from temptation


The taint of deception
The stain left by lies and dishonesty


It condemns me to damnation
Leaving me condemned to eternal punishment


Peace lies in defeat
Finding tranquility in surrendering and accepting defeat


Hope is now obsolete
There is no longer any room for optimism or expectation


A heart's dire beat
A heart beating with desperation


Eternally incomplete
Forever felt as unfinished and lacking


Shattered is all deceit
All forms of deception have been completely destroyed


I submit to my defeat
I surrender and accept my own failure


Shedding two lonely tears
Crying tears of sorrow and loneliness


One for each of us, my dear
We both share in the pain and sadness


For the end draws near
The approaching conclusion is imminent


And soon both of us will disappear
Both of us will vanish in the near future
