On Thorns I Lay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throwing away into a city not mine non yours
Do you remember?
And I was running every spring around the earth
To find a hope to bring you the first rose
I saw you there first time do you remember?
You are missing a winter and seems for five do you remember?
The lyrics to On Thorns I Lay's song "Enigma" are heartfelt and emotional, telling a story of a lost soul who has lost their way. The opening line, "I think I have lost my way like ruin my soul," sets the tone for the rest of the song. This person feels lost and disconnected, unsure of their path in life. They're throwing themselves into a city that doesn't belong to them, nor to the one they love, a metaphor for the aimlessness they feel.
The next lines recount memories of happier times, "Do you remember? And I was running every spring around the earth, to find a hope to bring you the first rose. I saw you there first time, do you remember?" These lines speak of the character's devotion to their loved one, going to great lengths to show their love and bring them joy. However, it's unclear whether the loved one reciprocated these feelings, as the next line alludes to their absence, "You are missing a winter and seems for five, do you remember?" This lack of reciprocity is what contributes to the character's sense of being lost and disconnected, as they feel they are wandering through life without purpose.
