Mira
Nyctalgia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still live in the dream we shared,
I sail the sea where our souls always fell
asleep.

Where are you now? I still need you!
Awash in a whirl of memories, I beg
but you just turn
away...

In the deep night my heart still weeps,
haunted by the blue eyes
that once smiled
at me alone.

Only pain remains of our love...
a world a loving year created...
In a single second you destroyed my world.
Now my dreams are gone...
and the door is closed forever.
The first tear cast me into nothingness.





And yet your voice whispers to me still
a hopeless song of love.

Overall Meaning

Nyctalgia's song "Mira" is a heart-wrenching tale of losing someone you loved deeply. The opening lyrics reveal the singer's state of mind as they continue to live in the dream they shared with their lover. The sea symbolizes the vastness and depth of their emotions. They think back to the moments when they were closest to each other and could safely fall asleep in each other's embrace. However, now the lover is gone, and the singer is left seeking comfort that can never be found in the memories that haunt them. The plea "Where are you now? I still need you!" shows how the singer is still yearning for their lover and still feels the pain of their absence.


The second verse gives more insight into the depth of the pain the singer is experiencing. The memories they shared are now tormenting them, and they beg for the lover's return, but they are met with silence. The blue eyes that once smiled at them alone are now gone, and they are left alone to face the world their love created. The line "In a single second, you destroyed my world" shows how one moment can change everything, and the door to love and happiness is forever closed. The singer is left with nothing but pain and the memory of their first tear that cast them into the abyss of loneliness.


The final lines are haunting as the lover's voice still whispers to the singer, offering them hope in a hopeless song of love. The reality of their loss is clear, but the memory of love continues to linger, even if it is just as a painful reminder of what was lost.

You know what the best part of These Music Videos is? I see People from everywhere around the world, coming together in the comment section of the Video, saying their opinion about the pieces and barely does anyone ever judge them for where they come from. I wish the whole world would be like this.

Beautifully said and ditto

@Oneiromaster

This reminds me of what I went through after I separated from my girlfriend. The best way to describe it is crushing emotion. The kind where you feel your chest literally caving in. You cannoth breath. You cannot stand. You cannot exist. You cannot sleep, nor lie awake. You cannot live and are too afraid to die. True living hell - hence the role of drugs. Not much other choice, when your spirit is crushed and shattered.

Your music has been a sincere partner during several fragile and solitary moments in my life.
Thank you from depths.

This speaks through the dark of me and illuminates the beauty within. It may never last but it is never lost. The mind kneels in awe of the hearts Devine truth.

@SilvioPfiffner

thank you for the long feedback..! Well first I have to say, that this was just a demo, just to tell "the world"(...) "look, I'm here" I surely would have loved to use more instrument like a whole orchestra or whatever...BUt I'm just an amateur musician, I don't have too much money or the equipment to create something that big...I'm not a fan of using keyboard-Orchestra sounds "normally" because that always sounds so unreal...So i just let it away... But I will look what I can do for the future
