Fairytale
Nivaira Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where does she live?
My true and fair one
In the end of the world
Where falls the sun.

In the lost realm
Of ancient oaks
She sleeps alone

And can't wake up.

- What do your seek so far from home,
Wandering sad and all alone?
You spent the soles and broke your staff
- I look for my own true love.

Dark magic stands
Between our poor hearts
I crossed the desert
I passed she seven seas.

Dark spells for years
Keep closed her eyes
I will awake her one day
With a tender kiss.

Ask the crescent, ask the wind
Ask the raven, ask the friend

Ask the stars but even they
Will not see through the cloudy veil.

The song tells the story of a traveler on a quest to find his true love who sleeps alone in the end of the world where the sun falls. The lost realm of ancient oaks is where the fair one resides, and she is unable to wake up. The traveler, desperate to find his love, has walked through the desert, crossed seven seas but has not yet found his love.

The lyrics suggest that there are dark magic and spells that are keeping the fair one asleep. The traveler is undeterred from his quest and promises to wake her with a tender kiss. Despite his efforts, he still cannot reach his true love, and he is advised to seek help from the crescent, the wind, the raven, and the stars, but even they cannot breach the barrier of the thick clouds.

The song is full of romantic imagery, and the lyrics describe the lonely traveler's journey to find his true love. The fairytale-like imagery of the ancient oaks and the end of the world enhances our understanding that the quest for love can lead us to unimaginable places. The song's repetition of the line "I look for my own true love" emphasizes the importance of true love as a goal worth pursuing.
