Forever Shrouded Within This World
Noctuary Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In solitude, in desolation
I walk amoung this Earth.
Alone we crawl in the shadows
destined to thrive eternally.

Strength arise, my entity freed.
My mortality left behind.
Cries of life, forsaken by god.

I wander aimlessly.

Towards another light,
the light of darkness.
Hope has arisen our eyes.
Prophecies behold new life.

Strength arise, our entities freed.
Our mortality left behind.

Cries of life, forsaken by god.
I wander aimlessly.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Noctuary's song Forever Shrouded Within This World express a sense of isolation and loneliness, as the singer walks among the Earth in a state of desolation. The imagery of shadows and crawling reflects a feeling of being trapped and helpless, as if the singer is destined to be alone forever. However, there is a sense of strength and defiance in the lyrics as well, as the singer's "entity" is freed from mortality and they are able to wander aimlessly in defiance of the forsaken cries of life.

Towards the end of the song, there is a shift towards a more hopeful tone as the singer seeks out the "light of darkness" and prophecies predict "new life". This dichotomy of light and darkness, life and death, is a common theme in gothic and metal music, emphasizing the complexity and nuance of the human experience. The repetition of the refrain "Strength arise, our entities freed" reinforces the idea of overcoming weakness and limitations to embrace a more powerful and liberated existence.
