Lament
Priscilla Hernandez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to leave myself drifting in the waves
And I devoured the light of sun
Made it black to blind my eyes
And see what eyes can't see
I'll break the root of every tree
And spoil the life from seeds
And curse lands to decay....
I can't find what I lost
Just pebbles, bones and dust
No one stays...
Nothing lasts...
It aches, how deep it aches
It hurts, how deep it hurts
Aches…
Now that you're gone, may all that's done becomes undone
How deep it aches!
The lyrics of Priscilla Hernandez's song Lament speaks about a person's emotional turmoil after losing someone dear to them. The opening lines of the song, "I moved the moon to grow the tides, just to leave myself drifting in the waves", depicts the desperation of the person to control things that are beyond their power. The refrain of the song, "It aches, how deep it aches, it hurts, how deep it hurts", further emphasizes the intense pain felt by the person.
The succeeding lines of the song, "And I devoured the light of the sun, made it black to blind my eyes, and see what eyes can't see", imparts the message that the person is willing to go to great lengths to try and find a solution or gain some form of knowledge relating to their loss. However, this only results in them causing destruction and further chaos in their life. The lines "Now that you're gone, may all that's done becomes undone, how deep it aches!" reveals the person's desire to go back in time and change the outcome to prevent their loss.
Overall, the song Lament is a poignant reflection of the grief experienced by losing someone special. It deals with the themes of powerlessness, the intensity of pain and loss, desperation and the finality of the situation.
Line by Line Meaning
I moved the moon to grow the tides
I did everything in my power to control the forces of nature.
Just to leave myself drifting in the waves
However, all my efforts led to me feeling lost and directionless.
And I devoured the light of sun
I tried to blot out the beauty and warmth of life.
Made it black to blind my eyes
But this only left me blind and unable to see the truth.
And see what eyes can't see
I longed to understand things beyond human comprehension.
I'll break the root of every tree
My pain and anger have driven me to destroy all that is good and beautiful in the world.
And spoil the life from seeds
I take pleasure in causing destruction and decay wherever I go.
And curse lands to decay....
I find joy in the suffering of others, and want to spread misery as far and wide as possible.
I'll make the rivers run back dry
I want to reverse the natural order of things, and to watch everything fall apart.
I can't find what I lost
Despite all my destructive actions, I am still plagued by a sense of emptiness and loss.
Just pebbles, bones and dust
All that remains of my former life are mere fragments, devoid of any real meaning.
No one stays...
I am constantly reminded of the impermanence of everything, and of my own loneliness and isolation.
Nothing lasts...
All things must eventually come to an end, including those things which once brought me joy and satisfaction.
It aches, how deep it aches
The pain I feel is all-consuming, and at times it feels like it will never go away.
It hurts, how deep it hurts
The agony of my existence is like a deep and never-ending wound, constantly gnawing away at me.
Aches…
And so I am left with nothing but a constant, aching pain that never seems to subside.
Now that you're gone, may all that's done becomes undone
Perhaps the only way to find peace and healing is to undo all the harm I have caused in my relentless pursuit of destruction.
How deep it aches!
Despite everything, the pain still remains, and I am left to suffer the consequences of my actions.
