Dawn
Poet's of the fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When darkness is no less than everything you've built become undone
There's no fight and no flight, disaster leaves your passion overrun

It's time to let go, it's time to carry on with the show
Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn

n' I will be standing by your side
Together we'll face the turning tide

Remembrance, can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow
Don't lose it, don't refuse it, 'cause you cannot learn a thing you think you know

A new light is warm, shining down on you after the storm
Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn





n' I will be standing by your side
Together we'll face the turning tide

Overall Meaning

The song "Dawn" by Poet's of the Fall talks about facing the aftermath of a disaster that has caused everything you have built to crumble. The lyrics speak of the pain and loss that one might feel in such a situation, where there is no fight or flight response left. However, the singer urges the listener to let go and to carry on with the show. Instead of mourning what has been lost, they should embrace the dawn and move forward. The lyrics show that the singer is ready to stand by his listener's side through this difficult time and face the turning tide together.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn." These starkly contrasting ideas of mourning and greeting the dawn represent the two choices that the listener has. They can either choose to be bogged down by their losses or they can choose to welcome the new day, and the new opportunities it brings. The song also uses the imagery of a storm followed by a new light to signify the end of a difficult period and the beginning of a new one.


Overall, the song "Dawn" is a beautiful reminder to embrace change, to let go of the past, and to continue building one's life even after experiencing loss. It encourages listeners to face the future with hope and stand strong beside loved ones during a difficult time.
