Don't Mourn
Pantheist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for your lost life
and what did you do to deserve it?
it was just a bitter gift
Pull yourself together
and with your last strength
make a final prayer
death
The emptiness
consumed your weary soul
ate you from inside
like a parasite
But death came
-like a prince on his white horse-
and set you free with a last, sweet kiss
Don't dwell now
like a ghost
around your dead body
flee into infinity
My God-forgotten love,
finally we'll meet again
when our both souls
dissolve into infinity...
death awaits
No time to dwell in limbo...
shadows are here to get you
how they want to embrace you in their cold arms
and drawn you in the pool of tears
of those who suffered because of your sins
Follow the right path
which leads to the astral constellation
where your soul enters the gate
before the light dies away
Save yourself from them
the creatures without a shape
have followed you in your last trip
You are safe again
you entered the portal
their black arms couldn't get you
Wait for me there
as you sit motionless
with you arms around your knees
you are free now

While death may have consumed the listener's soul like a parasite, ultimately it is the prince on his white horse that sets them free with a last, sweet kiss.

The lyrics of "Don't Mourn" convey a sense of acceptance and peace with death. The idea that death is a gift, albeit a bitter one, is a powerful message.

Dismal
No llores ahora
por tu vida perdida
y que hiciste para merecerlo?
Solo fue un amargo regalo
Calmate
y con tus ultimas fuerzas
has una oración final
agradece por el precioso regalo…
la muerte
El vacío
consume tu alma cansada
te roe desde adentro
como un parásito
Pero entonces llego la muerte
como un príncipe en su caballo blanco
y te libero con un ultimo dulce beso.
No mores ahora
como un fantasma
alrededor de tu cuerpo muerto
avanza hacia el infinito
Mi amor olvidado por dios,
finalmente nos veremos de nuevo
cuando nuestras dos almas se
disuelvan en el infinito…
La muerte espera.
No hay tiempo para morar en el limbo
Las sombras están aquí para atraparte
quieren abrazarte con sus brazos fríos
y arrastrarte en un charco de lagrimas
de los que sufrieron por tus pecados
sigue el camino correcto
que te llevara a la constelación astral
donde tu alma entrara por la puerta
antes de que la luz se apague
Salvate de ellos
de las criaturas sin forma
que te han seguido en tu ultimo viaje
Estas a salvo de nuevo
entraste en el portal
sus brazos negros no lograron atraparte
Esperame allí
mientras te sientas inmóvil
con los brazos alrededor de tus rodillas
eres libre ahora.

Eff it, I'm gonna translate it in italian in a rather crappy way because I suck at both translating and making it work in the song metrics but hey, I want to try
Non rimpiangere
la tua vita perduta
E cos'hai fatto per meritartelo?
è stato solo un regalo amaro
Rimettiti in sesto,
E con le tue ultime energie
Fai un'ultima preghiera
Ringrazia per il prezioso dono
morte
Il vuoto
Ha consumato la tua anima stanca
Ti ha divorato dal di dentro
Come un parassita
Ma la morte venne
come un principe sul suo cavallo biancoE ti liberò con un ultimo, dolce bacio
Ora non soffermarti
come un fantasma
intorno al tuo corpo morto
Fuggi nell'infinito
Mio amore dimenticato da Dio,
ci rincontreremo finalmente
quando entrambe le nostre anime
Si dissolveranno nell'infinito
La morte attende
Non c'è tempo per fermarsi nel Limbo
Le ombre sono qui per prenderti
Quanto vogliono abbracciarti tra le loro braccia fredde
e trascinarti nel lago* di lacrime
delle persone che hanno sofferto per i tuoi peccati
Segui la strada giusta**
Che ti porta alla costellazione astrale
Dove la tua anima attraversa il cancello
prima che la luce scompaia
Salvati da loro
Le creature senza forma
ti hanno seguito fino al tuo ultimo viaggio
Sei salvo di nuovo
Hai attraversato il portale
Le loro nere braccia non potevano prenderti
Aspettami lì
Seduto immobile
con le tue braccia attorno alle tue ginocchia
Sei libero adesso
*Pool translates in "piscina", but in italian a pool of tears is better translated with "a lake of tears", at least I've never heard "piscina di lacrime"
**I don't really know if it refers to either "good" or literally the direction. I translated the former, since it sounded better in the context of the song and my 2 neurons are fighting to arrive third place
I tried my best, but I advise you not to use this translation as a reference since I'm no excellent translator and I might have gotten something (or just everything) wrong
Peace

This and "the loss of innocense" are, for me, two of the greatest tracks in metal history

Can anything be more beautiful?!
my love songs
Why does that opening guitar riff have to so beautifully heavy? The riff is a million tons!!

Depressive, dark and warm - like death itself. I like it.
