Fatal Tragedy
Pipo & Elo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nicholas:
(Present)
Alone at night
I feel so strange
I need to find
All the answers to my dreams

When I sleep at night

I hear the cries
What does this mean?

I shut the door and traveled to another home
I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I felt that I could trust him
He talked to me that night;

"Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?"
"This fatal tragedy was talked about for years"
Victoria's gone forever
Only memories remain
She passed away
She was so young

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

As the night went on
I started to find my way
I learned about a tragedy
A mystery still today

I tried to get more answers
But he said, "You're on your own."
Then he turned away and left me
As I stand there all alone
He said, "You'll know the truth
As your future days unfold..."

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

Hypnotherapist:
"Now it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end, but only a transition."

Overall Meaning

The song "Fatal Tragedy" by Pipo & Elo tells the story of Nicholas, who is searching for answers to the dreams he has been having. He feels strange and hears cries when he sleeps at night. One night, he shuts the door and enters another home where he meets an older man who talks to him about a girl named Victoria who was murdered in the same house. The man tells Nicholas that he will know the truth about Victoria's death as his future unfolds. The lyrics emphasize that love, truth, faith and hope are essential elements for a peaceful and meaningful life.

The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it seems like Nicholas is trying to find meaning in his life, and the dreams he is having are a manifestation of this search. The old man he meets represents someone who has experienced tragedy and death, and is trying to help Nicholas by sharing his knowledge. The song seems to be asking the listener to reflect on their own life and the importance of love, truth, faith, and hope. The lyrics suggest that without these elements, our lives are incomplete and we cannot find peace of mind.

Line by Line Meaning

Alone at night
When I am by myself in the darkness

I feel so strange
I experience an unusual sensation

I need to find
I have a desire to discover

All the answers to my dreams
An understanding of the solutions to my fantasies

When I sleep at night
During my slumber

I hear the cries
I listen to the screams

What does this mean?
What is the significance of this?

I shut the door and traveled to another home
I closed the entrance and ventured to a new abode

I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I encountered an elderly man, who appeared to be isolated

I felt that I could trust him
I believed that he was reliable

He talked to me that night;
He conversed with me during the evening

"Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?"
"Young man, were you aware that a young woman was killed at this location?"

"This fatal tragedy was talked about for years"
"This dire event was discussed for many years"

Victoria's gone forever
Victoria has perished permanently

Only memories remain
Merely recollections endure

She passed away
She died

She was so young
She was very youthful

Without love
In the absence of affection

Without truth
Without veracity

There can be no turning back
It is impossible to reverse the course of events

Without faith
In the absence of belief

Without hope
Lacking optimism or aspiration

There can be no peace of mind
One cannot have tranquility or serenity

As the night went on
As time progressed during the night

I started to find my way
I began to navigate my path

I learned about a tragedy
I discovered information about a disastrous event

A mystery still today
An enigma that persists currently

I tried to get more answers
I strived to receive additional explanations

But he said, "You're on your own."
However, he exclaimed, "You must handle this matter independently."

Then he turned away and left me
Then he faced another direction and departed from my company

As I stand there all alone
While I remained there by myself

He said, "You'll know the truth
He uttered, "You will ascertain the reality

As your future days unfold..."
As your forthcoming events come to fruition..."

"Now it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end, but only a transition."
"Now it is the moment to perceive how you perished. Recall that passing is merely a transformation, not a conclusion."
