Dreamless Life
Nightland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fragile hope lives on
In an emptiness to be filed
In an answer to be found
But winter never ends
Where sun rays can't get through
Light cannot reach the heart
That can't fight on
Dust in the eyes of a faithless mind
That fills with emptiness its dreamless life
I can't remember the warmth of a memory
The sweet and fleeting sensation of an instant
That enlightened my days
I know the shudder of pain
The deep wound that you left
When I lost your affection
So needed, so cruel
Dust in the eyes of a faithless mind
That fills with emptiness its dreamless life
The lyrics to "Dreamless Life" by Nightland depict a sense of hopelessness, loneliness, and despair. The opening lines, "Crushed by the weight of time / The fragile hope lives on," suggest that despite feeling overwhelmed and defeated by the passage of time, there is still a glimmer of hope that persists. The lines "In an emptiness to be filed / In an answer to be found" imply that the singer is searching for something, be it a purpose, a meaning, or an explanation for their existence.
However, the chorus suggests that the search is futile, as the singer's mind is "faithless" and "fills with emptiness" leading to a "dreamless life". The lines "I can't remember the warmth of a memory / The sweet and fleeting sensation of an instant / That enlightened my days" reveal that the singer has lost the ability to feel genuine happiness and seems to be stuck in a state of constant despair.
The final lines, "I know the shudder of pain / The deep wound that you left / When I lost your affection / So needed, so cruel" suggests that the singer is also dealing with heartbreak and has been hurt by someone they deeply cared about, making them feel even more insignificant and alone.
Overall, the song portrays a feeling of helplessness that one can feel in the face of life's overwhelming challenges, leading to a life devoid of hope and joy.

Crushed by the weight of time
Overwhelmed by the burden of the passage of time
The fragile hope lives on
Despite the hardships, the faint glimmer of hope persists
In an emptiness to be filled
Amidst a feeling of inner void and incompleteness
In an answer to be found
Searching for solutions and clarity amidst confusion
But winter never ends
The bleakness and coldness persist indefinitely
Where sun rays can't get through
In a place where positivity and warmth cannot penetrate
Light cannot reach the heart
The soul feels dark and heavy
That can't fight on
Unable to persevere and battle through the struggles
Dust in the eyes of a faithless mind
Negativity and disillusionment clouding one's perceptions
That fills with emptiness its dreamless life
All-consuming feelings of emptiness and lack of direction in life
I can't remember the warmth of a memory
Unable to recall the feeling of comfort from past experiences
The sweet and fleeting sensation of an instant
The fleeting nature of happiness and joy
That enlightened my days
Illuminating moments of clarity and fulfillment from the past
I know the shudder of pain
Familiar with the physical and emotional manifestations of suffering
The deep wound that you left
The profound and lasting impact of a significant loss
When I lost your affection
The pain of losing someone's love and affection
So needed, so cruel
The paradoxical nature of love; both necessary and painful
Dust in the eyes of a faithless mind
Negative thoughts and feelings blurring one's perception
That fills with emptiness its dreamless life
Feeling trapped and lost in a purposeless existence
