Numenorean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the sadness consume you.
Paint love on my eyes,
I'm broken.
Paint love on my eyes,
Let the sadness consume you,
For my body is murder and I'm further from where I lie.
I feel low again.
Paint love on my eyes,
Let the madness become you.
A part of me dies,
I'm falling.
Paint love on my eyes,
I'm left with my failure,
For my body is murder and I'm further from where I lie.
I feel whole again.
(The cycle repeats).
I feel low again,
(I'll end this curse).
This place is so blinding,
But I'm still trying.
I feel whole again,
I feel low.
Why do I feel this?
Why do I feel the way?
I am the only one in my way.
I cried the best tears from these eyes,
Listen my son or daughter,
Forgive me.
I'm not done, I'll never die.
This pain won't crash upon my life.
I've been here once before,
You can't destroy me anymore.
I've died inside.
But not this time, not this time.
I found the strenght this time,
You can't destroy me.
In my bed I lie awake, lusting thoughts of my wake.
Self, I'm torn I'm torn away.
Loss of trust, loss of love.
It's all the same, words won't save me now.
Words won't save me now.
The lyrics of Numenorean’s song “Adore” appear to be exploring themes of love, sadness, and emotional turmoil. The repetition of the lines “Paint love on my eyes” and “I feel whole again, I feel low again” suggest a cycle or pattern of emotional highs and lows. The lyrics also touch on themes of personal struggle and inner turmoil, with lines such as “I am the only one in my way” and “Loss of trust, loss of love”.
The song seems to be a raw, emotional reflection on the singer’s personal journey through pain and darkness. The final line, “Words won’t save me now”, seems to suggest a feeling of hopelessness or resignation, as though the singer has come to the realization that there is no easy way out of their struggles.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of perseverance and resilience in the face of difficult circumstances. Despite all of the pain and darkness, the singer finds the strength to continue fighting and refuses to be destroyed by their struggles.

But not currently, not right now
I found the strenght this time,
I discovered the power to endure this time
You can't destroy me.
You are unable to ruin me.
In my bed I lie awake, lusting thoughts of my wake.
While still in bed, I'm wide-awake, thinking about my impending demise.
Self, I'm torn I'm torn away.
I am weakening, I am breaking.
Loss of trust, loss of love.
Lack of faith, lack of affection
It's all the same, words won't save me now.
It's all identical, words will not rescue me currently.
Words won't save me now.
At this moment, words will not rescue me.

What happened to them? I'm hoping an amicable split just, there's been enough tragedy recently...
@ahmadbazzari8552
@divinefallfromgrace there were some $exual assault allegations against former and then current members of the band and the band leader Roger decided to end the band.
