Latent Eclipse
Poema Arcanus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm defeated by the life
Each dawn awakes with the same tortuous feeling
The same bitter swallow
[Chorus:]
I want to live no more
With grief in my veins, without hope
I don't know if you can understand me
Regrettably your ambitious advice doesn't help me
Because it's in my blood
[Chorus:]
The fields of my rest
My grievous redemption
On thorns I will lay numb
I draw a relieving smile while I bleed
Love wasn't enough
It's been tainted by pain
Colours have turned into grey
My farewell tastes like resurrection
My days are cloudy, by this almighty depression
Like a latent eclipse
Condemned in my own essence, immune to the happiness
I'm blessed by death
[Chorus]
