One Step Into Nothingness
Paragon of Beauty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For Spine chilling dreams crossed our way
Almost too late
Nothing is safe from woe and agony
This breakdown of thoughts
Was a wing beat for me
A turning point
Sometimes I concealed my desperation
behind a thin vein of coolness
Soulnerves were crying like torrents unseen
Moments undone tied to the run
Maybe your sun shone quite dead
Why do you fear the wounds
Of your clandestine past
How could we measure
our queer-ticking hearts without mind
At night we are birds... at rustling night
At night I won't pass away... at Monday night
Unseemly expectations burned in my head
Falcon-corpses flew above me but I still feel
All the soars, all the thorns,
all the years of mute reproach
Weeping tables, vacant chairs
Withered time won't bloom again everyday
Read my calm letters
and you'll understand this pain
Bleary-eyed ghost life is our host
Don't go to sleep while I'm down
The lyrics to Paragon of Beauty's song One Step Into Nothingness are permeated with feelings of despair and isolation. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been experiencing nightmares or ominous visions, which have unsettled them deeply ("spine chilling dreams crossed our way"). Despite this, they seem to be renewing their commitment to facing the dangers of the world head-on, acknowledging that they can never fully evade the "woe and agony" that life inevitably brings.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the turmoil that they have experienced in their personal life. They have reached a turning point, which has caused them to question their own behavior and personality ("sometimes I concealed my desperation behind a thin vein of coolness"). Despite the fact that they have been struggling with their emotions, they are nevertheless resolute in their determination to confront their pain and come to terms with their past.
Line by Line Meaning
Where have I been
I have lost my way and am unsure of my path
For Spine chilling dreams crossed our way
We have encountered terrifying nightmares that have affected us deeply
Almost too late
We were on the edge of danger and barely escaped in time
Nothing is safe from woe and agony
We cannot escape pain and sadness
This breakdown of thoughts
My mind is falling apart
Was a wing beat for me
It was a moment of change and transformation
A turning point
This moment brought a new perspective or direction
in my confusing diary
My life has been a confusing journey and I have been documenting it
Sometimes I concealed my desperation
There were times when I hid my despair from others
behind a thin vein of coolness
I pretended to be calm and collected to hide my turmoil
Soulnerves were crying like torrents unseen
My internal pain was overwhelming and invisible to others
Moments undone tied to the run
Events of the past are haunting me and affecting my present
Maybe your sun shone quite dead
Your life might have been devoid of happiness and joy
Why do you fear the wounds
Why are you afraid of facing the pain of your past
Of your clandestine past
The secrets and hidden parts of your past still haunt you
How could we measure
It is impossible to quantify
our queer-ticking hearts without mind
Our unpredictable hearts cannot be understood by logic alone
At night we are birds... at rustling night
During the night, we feel free to be ourselves
At night I won't pass away... at Monday night
I promise to live through the night and not give up
Unseemly expectations burned in my head
Unrealistic hopes and pressures are consuming me
Falcon-corpses flew above me but I still feel
I have been surrounded by death and loss, but I still have emotions
All the soars, all the thorns,
All the pain and hardship
all the years of mute reproach
Years of silence and disapproval have left me feeling guilty
Weeping tables, vacant chairs
The loneliness of an empty space
Withered time won't bloom again everyday
The past will not come back in the same way
Read my calm letters
My words may seem composed, but they are filled with pain
and you'll understand this pain
If you read between the lines, you will see the hurt I am trying to hide
Bleary-eyed ghost life is our host
We are living like aimless, tired ghosts
Don't go to sleep while I'm down
Please don't abandon me when I am feeling low
