Diamante
Nicholis Louw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere where I can be sure
There's peace in my life.
I'll be the rain, and you'll be heaven crying
And my eyes will be filled with flowers
Upon the snowfields of white.
Oh hand in hand, we'll walk together
Domenica, oh.
Waiting for you, I'll drink a glass of wine
I pray that my beating heart
Will lead you into my life
Time in the distance, will bring me to your side
From high up in heaven, diamante
We'll see peace with our eyes.
We'll see them walking, the brides and soldiers
Dancing the dark, they melt together
Against the twilight
And all together we'll lift our voices
Singing the time, to play at soldiers
is gone forever
Domenica Domenica
We'll see them walking, the brides and soldiers
Dancing the dark, they melt together
Against the twilight
And all together we'll lift our voices
Singing the time, to play at soldiers
is gone forever
Domenica
The lyrics of Nicholis Louw's song Diamante are deeply introspective and contemplative, touching on themes of loss, hope, and redemption. The opening verse presents the singer's search for a place of solace and peace as he grapples with the death of a part of himself, a feeling that is likely relatable to anyone who has experienced deep emotional pain. The second verse introduces the idea of rain and heaven crying, perhaps suggesting that there is beauty to be found in sadness and that even in moments of grief, there are elements of hope and renewal.
The chorus speaks to the theme of walking together - a metaphor for the shared journey of life - and presents the image of Domenica, a name that is likely symbolic of something (or someone) important to the singer. The following verses depict the passage of time and the singer's longing for someone he is waiting for, who he hopes will "lead [him] into [his] life". The reference to diamante - Italian for diamonds - suggests a sense of preciousness and value that the singer associates with this person.
The final chorus brings the themes of walking and soldiers together, emphasizing the idea that we are all on a shared journey and that the time for conflict and competition is over. The song's title, Diamante, is a nod to the idea of diamonds as symbols of strength, resilience, and beauty.
