Iris
Nightfall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, how much I love your eyes
I′m waving like moonbeams on a nightside
Sea
Whenever, wherever mine crosses yours so
Amenable I do feel, until I myself I hide
Behind the sand-dunes on the shore of the
Broken into shivers, memories still haunt me.
The knight in golden armour turns into
Millions of vacant sinus; inner sickles
Trying to find a way out of the flesh, the
Planted one with memorable experiences,
Tassels in white faces...
Iris is a sine qua non for us indeed, though,
Absolute darkness reminds me of the age of
Ignorance. But, now as I recall all those
I've seen so far through this burning blood
Red veil "oh, it makes me soften,
I realize how terrific it′d be to sojourn two
Thousand years with you; your inept
Dreams... my cerebral mansion".
I'm a creature of terra firma; as an urn I
Hold and kiss the ashes of my dying race; as
I grow up, Iris grows too, but, how can I
Speak to the dry ground about the wet saliva
Of my eyes?
Wisdom's cavern stands far from oceans,
That′s for sure my dear.
Here I feel the crucial crux of all our
Dilemas, all those things won′t ever
Touch our flesh, let them go, let them fade
Behind, let them stare at the Iris' narcotic
Sight while the flaming aureole will offers
Us pleasure; the pleasure an infant gets
Along with its mother′s white, fluid bribe.
Nightfall's song "Iris" is a poetic tribute to the beauty of the singer's lover. The lyrics begin with the singer expressing their love for their partner's eyes, comparing their affection to moonbeams on a nighttime sea. The singer feels amenable whenever their gaze meets their partner's until they hide behind the sand dunes of the shore. Memories of past experiences haunt them, and they see their partner's captivating beauty as a sine qua non, a necessary condition for their happiness.
The symbolism in the song is rich, even if not always clear. The knight in golden armor represents a perfect partner that the singer has lost. Wisdom's cavern, which stands far from oceans, represents the otherworldly distance between love and reason. The Iris with its narcotic sight symbolizes the power of love to overwhelm and intoxicate.
Despite the metaphors, the message of the song is clear: love is the most important thing to the singer. The beauty of the Iris and the pleasure it brings are more valuable than anything else, even wisdom or reason.
