Farewell My Little Earth
Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chased after horizons and rainbows to see
If I could catch up with them
They stayed in front of me
But I could never reach them but turned around to see
That they were now behind me
I wanted to go back find the right and left
The spectrum colors rose and span.
I teleported, I transported to a ship on the way to Titan
I saw Saturn's rings and patterns
Lifting me up as space got brighter
Farewell my little Earth
Hello my biggest dream
My breathing space is awesome
No one will believe where I've been
I wanted to know
Why no one had discovered
What I was going through
But then "What the Hell?" I thought, as I said
Farewell my little Earth
Hello my biggest dream
My breathing space is awesome
No one will believe where I've been
Farewell my little Moon
I'd rather look at Saturn
Taking up the sky
Ascending me to heaven
You can go anywhere if you wanna see
That you're not in the only place that you could be
If you wanna go an eon or two ahead
Space and time are immaterial within your head
Through the galaxies or all of the universe
Make a blessing out of everything that is a curse
There is no such a thing as big or small
When you have all the access you need to all
You can do anything that you wanna do
Just develop all the power you have in you
Throwing off the restrictions of hell
And the chains that prevent you from doing well
There is no end to anything you want to see
And no better place than the galaxies
You can dream all the dreams that you wanna have
Don't care if all the people think you're mad
I tried to remember
Just what it was that I had done
To get here in the beginning
So I could find my way home
I teleported, I transported To a ship on the way back home
I saw Saturn's rings and patterns
I waved them and departed alone
I wanted to know official secrets stopped me
And I thought a lot about
How no one would believe me
I ran into the night
Chased after horizons and rainbows to see
If I could catch up with them
They stayed in front of me
And I could never reach them
But turned around to see
That they were now behind me
The lyrics of Nosferatu's "Farewell My Little Earth" speak of a journey towards unknown and unexplored territories of the universe, where rainbows and horizons constantly keep moving away. The singer tries to catch up with them, but they remain out of reach. The idea of exploring the universe beyond our known existence is a familiar one in sci-fi and fantasy. The singer's need to find the right, left, front, back, and spectrum represents a sense of being lost and looking for direction. The idea of teleportation speaks to the singer's desire for a reality where he can escape the limitations of Earth and explore the vast mysteries of the universe. He finds himself on a spacecraft headed to Titan and sees Saturn's rings and patterns, and he is uplifted by his experience.
The chorus of "Farewell My Little Earth" speaks to the singer's farewell to the physical world and of a dream, which he hopes to fulfill by exploring the universe. He revels in his newfound breathing room which he finds "awesome," and he imagines that no one would believe where he has been. The second stanza describes his realization of the limitations placed upon knowledge, and he wonders why no one had discovered what he had learned. The stanza is followed by a chorus about the farewell to the earth and the moon, and his desire to look at Saturn instead.
The third stanza talks about the power of the mind and the ability to explore the universe in one's head, where time and space are immaterial. The singer encourages listeners to let go of their limitations and chains and to develop their power within, and he states that there is no end to what they can explore. The fourth stanza finishes with a reflection on trying to recall how he got there, and a desire to find his way back home. Ultimately, the journey concludes with the realization that while he may not be able to reach the rainbows and horizons in front of him, they continue to follow him as he ventures on.

I ran into the night
I ventured into the unknown
Chased after horizons and rainbows to see
I pursued fanciful and elusive goals
If I could catch up with them
If I could achieve my aspirations
They stayed in front of me
They remained out of reach
But I could never reach them but turned around to see
I was always chasing after something beyond my grasp but eventually realized
That they were now behind me
my goals had become unreachable memories
I wanted to go back find the right and left
I wanted to rediscover my sense of direction
And the between, the front and back
I wanted to explore the spacial dimensions
The spectrum colors rose and span.
I was fascinated by the range of colors
I teleported, I transported to a ship on the way to Titan
I used my imagination to escape reality and travel to a faraway place
I saw Saturn's rings and patterns Lifting me up as space got brighter
I was in awe of the beauty of the cosmos
Farewell my little Earth
Goodbye to my mundane existence
Hello my biggest dream
Hello to my ultimate aspiration
My breathing space is awesome
I feel liberated and amazed
No one will believe where I've been
I feel misunderstood and isolated
Farewell my little Moon
Goodbye to my secondary desire
I'd rather look at Saturn
I prefer to admire something greater
Taking up the sky
Filling my mind
Ascending me to heaven
Elevating my spirit
You can go anywhere if you wanna see
You can explore the universe through your imagination
That you're not in the only place that you could be
There are infinite possibilities in life
If you wanna go an eon or two ahead
If you want to think beyond time and space
Space and time are immaterial within your head
They are meaningless concepts in the realm of imagination
Through the galaxies or all of the universe
Through every imaginable scenario
Make a blessing out of everything that is a curse
Find positivity in hardship
There is no such a thing as big or small
Every idea is equally significant
When you have all the access you need to all
When you unlock your imagination
You can do anything that you wanna do
Anything is possible
Just develop all the power you have in you
Unleash your creativity
Throwing off the restrictions of hell
Breaking free from negativity
And the chains that prevent you from doing well
Overcoming obstacles
There is no end to anything you want to see
The boundless nature of imagination
And no better place than the galaxies
The infinite expanse of imagination
You can dream all the dreams that you wanna have
You can imagine anything you desire
Don't care if all the people think you're mad
Ignore negativity from others
I tried to remember
I attempted to recollect
Just what it was that I had done
How I arrived in my present state
To get here in the beginning
To trace back to my starting point
So I could find my way home
So I could rediscover my direction
I teleported, I transported To a ship on the way back home
I used my imagination to travel back to reality
I saw Saturn's rings and patterns
I reflected on my imaginative journey
I waved them and departed alone
I bid farewell to my imagination and returned to my reality
I wanted to know official secrets stopped me
I was curious to discover the unknown but was hindered
And I thought a lot about
It preoccupied my mind
How no one would believe me
How my thoughts and experiences would be regarded with skepticism

I remember getting this album and the rise album over 20 years ago used. I didn't know them but thought i'd check them out because i liked their name and was exploring all the different gothic genres. I'm mostly into gothic black metal and doom metal but thanks to these guys i started getting into Sister of Mercy, The Mission, Fields of the Nephilim, The Wake, Clan Of Xymox, Southern Deathcult, Christian Death etc.
