Vanity...




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nightfall's song Vanity express a sense of hopelessness and a lack of satisfaction with life. The singer is lying on their bed, contemplating their own mortality and the emptiness of the world around them. The repeated phrase "vanity" highlights the idea that all the things we strive for and achieve in life ultimately mean nothing in the face of death.


The use of the word "vanity" also suggests a sense of self-absorption and narcissism, as if the singer recognizes that their own desires and accomplishments are ultimately meaningless. This sense of futility is further emphasized by the line "Nothing, satisfies me," which suggests that the singer has tried and failed to find meaning or fulfillment in their life.


Line by Line Meaning

Lying on my bed, thinking of my end...
As I lay in bed, I contemplate the inevitability of my death and what it means for my existence.


Nothing, satisfies me, world's dead
Despite my efforts to find fulfillment in this life, nothing seems to quell the emptiness I feel inside, and I perceive the world as devoid of meaning.


Vanity...
In the end, all my striving for success and happiness is ultimately meaningless and futile, a mere exercise in vanity that will fade away with my mortality.

Once again, Leonidas Daemon upload underground stuff and Fortunately it keeps underground even in fuckin´internet(may/15). I do enjoy NIGHTFALL since their Parade into centuries and got in touch with Molon Lave Rec and acquired their 7´´ep back in ´96 and this demo-tape owns the unique atmosphere that they unleashed later in their full debut record. For My Soul, When The Darkness falls into.. Ave!

Never listened to it before but some songs are included in their Full debut Record released by Holy Rec.(Fra).

Obnoxious critic against the flow

All the tracks from the demo are actually in their first LP. First LP is all tracks from the demo, plus 4-5 more.
