Dusk
Pier-O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Four centuries of this damned immortality
Yet, I did not ask to be made
Why?
I will never again feel your sun upon my face
Or the comfort of a grave
I am not alive and I am not dead
How can I possibly explain this eternal youth?
When I can do nothing, but sit by
As my loves grow old and wither
And with each of them, take a fragment of my heart
and prolong this endless winter
It is October's perpetual agony
It is the shadow realm
Father, please forgive him
For he knows not what to do
With every victim I pray for my own death
And as much as I love the night
I curse the moons eerie glow
This blood lust that drags me forever
The toxic rays of dawn that condemn me to limbo
I am forced to dwell in gray Autumnal twilight
I am suspended in dusk
Father, please forgive him
For he knows not what to do
Father, please forgive him
For he knows not what to do
The lyrics of Pier-O's song "Dusk" speak to the turmoil and anguish of an immortal being. The singer is expressing remorse to their father, asking for forgiveness despite not knowing how to escape their current reality. The singer is cursed with eternal life, a state that they did not ask for and that has denied them the simple pleasures of life, such as feeling the warmth of the sun or resting in a grave. The singer is neither alive nor dead, trapped in this limbo for four centuries. They are forced to watch the people they love grow old and die, each passing taking a piece of their heart with them. The singer is filled with desperation, praying for their own death with each new victim they claim. Their existence in eternal twilight is one of perpetual agony, cursed to dwell in a gray, autumnal dusk.
The song captures the internal conflict of someone who is cursed with immortality, disconnected from humanity and trapped between life and death. The singer's plea to their father for forgiveness underscores their own sense of inadequacy in not knowing how to escape their fate. The song is evocative and emotional, expressing the sadness and loneliness of an existence without end.

Damn me Father, for I must sin
I acknowledge that what I do is against your teachings, but I have no choice
Four centuries of this damned immortality
I have been alive for more than 400 years, but my never-ending existence is a curse
Yet, I did not ask to be made
I did not choose to be turned into an immortal being
Why?
I question the purpose of my existence and why I was given this curse
I will never again feel your sun upon my face
As an immortal being, I will never experience the warmth of the sun again
Or the comfort of a grave
I cannot find peace in death
I am not alive and I am not dead
My existence is somewhere in between life and death
This is Hell on earth
Living forever in this state is a form of torture
How can I possibly explain this eternal youth?
It is difficult to describe the burden of living forever
When I can do nothing, but sit by
I am helpless in preventing my loved ones from aging and dying
As my loves grow old and wither
The people I care for age and decline with time
And with each of them, take a fragment of my heart
Each time someone I love dies, it takes a piece of me with them
and prolong this endless winter
Their death adds to the burden of my ever-lasting existence
It is October's perpetual agony
My curse is a never-ending source of pain and sorrow
It is the shadow realm
Living forever in darkness is akin to living in a nightmare
Father, please forgive him
I ask for forgiveness for the sins I commit as an immortal being
For he knows not what to do
I am lost and confused as to how to deal with this curse
With every victim I pray for my own death
After each life I take, I wish for my own death to end my misery
And as much as I love the night
I take solace in the darkness that comes with the night
I curse the moons eerie glow
However, I despise the eerie light that marks the moon's presence
This blood lust that drags me forever
My thirst for blood is never-ending and corrupts my every thought
The toxic rays of dawn that condemn me to limbo
The sun's rays poison me and delay my inevitable death
I am forced to dwell in gray Autumnal twilight
My existence is forever trapped in the dull, lifeless twilight of autumn
I am suspended in dusk
I am in a constant state of dusk, trapped between the night and the day
