Mortal Love Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Endless strife - turns me into a stranger
See your eyes - yes I think you've been here

Revelation - maybe I'm longing to be
Solitude - this is my oblivion

Your fragrance to me - seduction

My eyes - see me for what I am not
My tears - make me feel nothing at all

My heart - has unfolded before me
My life - now I am not longer me

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are about the internal struggle of someone who feels like they don't know who they are anymore. The endless strife has caused them to become a stranger to themselves. They see someone else's eyes and think that person has been in their position before. The revelation that they may be longing for something more, something they don't have, is something they can't shake. Solitude seems to be the only escape and it's become their oblivion - their safe place, but also the thing that keeps them trapped.

Line by Line Meaning

Endless strife - turns me into a stranger
The constant conflicts in my life are transforming me into someone unrecognizable

See your eyes - yes I think you've been here
When I look into your eyes, I believe you understand my pain

Revelation - maybe I'm longing to be
It's possible that I desire to reveal my true self

Solitude - this is my oblivion
Being alone is my escape from the world and its problems

Your fragrance to me - seduction
The scent of you is enticing to me

My eyes - see me for what I am not
I am not the person that I pretend to be in front of others, and my eyes reflect that truth

My tears - make me feel nothing at all
Crying no longer brings me any relief or comfort

My heart - has unfolded before me
I have finally come to terms with the state of my heart

My life - now I am not longer me
The struggles I have faced have altered me completely, and I am no longer the same person
