The Weeping Willow
Pazuzu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw my soulless body roam through these empty halls at night,

Desolate and alone I dream of a dream, as dark figures hover over my body, and

A lonely weeping willow, cries silently into a lake, as voices beckon me

To drown... to drown...
Through a world of perfect black, hallucinogenic substances feed my

Veins, as I trip from one room to the next... distorted faces and the





Voice of an angel, as I float never to return...

Line by Line Meaning

I saw my soulless body roam through these empty halls at night,
I witnessed my lifeless form wander aimlessly through barren corridors when dusk fell,


Desolate and alone I dream of a dream, as dark figures hover over my body, and
I am sunk in despair and solitude yearning for a vision, as gloomy shadows loom over me, and


A lonely weeping willow, cries silently into a lake, as voices beckon me
A solitary and sobbing willow tree weeps uncontrollably near a water body, as distant voices lure me


To drown... to drown...
To sink... to sink...


Through a world of perfect black, hallucinogenic substances feed my
In a pitch-black world, mind-altering substances provide my brain with


Veins, as I trip from one room to the next... distorted faces and the
Veins, while I stagger from one chamber to another... twisted faces and the


Voice of an angel, as I float never to return...
Sound of an angel's voice, while I levitate boundlessly never to look back...
