Poema Arcanus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[L: Claudio C. M: Igor L.]

I'm weak...
Exhausted by this feeling
It is all over
And nothing makes me change my mind

Who are you?

My god?
Why me...?
Why do you take my essence, away?

[Chorus:]

I deny your name; your death is my rest
And your presence makes me hate all
Annulling my bliss, breaking my unique peace
You killed my love

[Chorus]

I'm weak...
I am feeble, lacking strength to carry on

Exhausted by this feeling
Drained by the emotions overwhelming me

It is all over
There is nothing left, it has ended

And nothing makes me change my mind
No argument or logic can sway my decision

Who are you?
Questioning the identity of the being addressed

My god?
Asking if the entity is a deity

Why me...?
Pondering the reason for being chosen for something

Why do you take my essence, away?
Why are you taking my very being from me?

I deny your name; your death is my rest
Rejecting the entity and finding solace in their demise

And your presence makes me hate all
The entity's existence breeds hatred towards everything

Annulling my bliss, breaking my unique peace
Nullifying happiness and disrupting tranquility
