Vastness
Poema Arcanus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The life is so fragile and our time here is so short
Accustomed to this reality, we'll never touch the truth
The vastness blinds us and our minds cry
Cry under the insecurity of the unknown... unknown
And what then comes? , nothingness, nobody knows
We are waiting for a sign, but it never comes
Our ignorance persists until the last moment on this world... this world.
..... We're in grief and uncertainty...
[Chorus *2]
Trying to define my true existence,
My real life, but there's no light.
Time doesn't stop, one by one we begin to fall
Fears, cries for our lives that leave us without advice.
And we think that, our existence is so wretched
Day by day we walk to the end and we live only for dying ... for dying
The lyrics of Poema Arcanus's song Vastness explores the idea of human existence and our relationship with the unknown. The opening lines suggest that life is fragile and fleeting, but we are so accustomed to this reality that we fail to understand the truth. The vastness of the universe overwhelms us and our minds are unable to comprehend the unknown, which creates anxiety and insecurity within us.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift towards a sense of hopelessness and despair. Despite waiting for a sign or a revelation, nothing seems to change, and we are left in a state of ignorance until the very end. We are grieving and uncertain about our true existence, and there seems to be no light that can illuminate our path. In the chorus, the lyrics suggest that we are trying to define our true existence and our real life, but we are unable to do so because time doesn't stop, and we are gradually falling, with fears and cries that leave us without advice. The lyrics convey a sense of existential crisis and the fragility of human life.
