1) Rapture is a band formed in 1997 by a group of musicians from Helsinki, Finland. The members of Rapture have played in several bands, including Barathrum, Diablerie, Ensiferum, Finntroll, Fragile Hollow, The Mist and the Morning Dew, Rain Paint, Shape of Despair and Thy Serpent. They play a vein of depressive doom metal with a lot of light guitar work, keyboards, with heavy riffs combined with clean and growling vocals.
In 1999, Rapture signed a contract from Spikefarm Records, a subsidiary of Spinefarm Records. The band released their debut album, Futile, in early 2000. The album was also licensed to Relapse Records for distribution in the USA. In early 2002, the band recorded their second effort, titled Songs for the Withering. This album sold better than their debut and gave Rapture recognition in Europe and the USA, eventually leading them to sign a contract with Century Media. Rapture released their third album, Silent Stage, in 2005. This album continued in the vein of the previous two, with a morose, depressive atmosphere and a combination of both clean singing and death grunts.

Farewell
Rapture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my heart, in my head, feel so lost I walk the abyss
Don’t you say
Don’t you say
It was me
It was you today
It was all make believe
It was all a phase
It was all fake
If you don’t
Run my money
Run my money
How can I
Treat you lovely
Treat you lovely
If we were man made
I can say
That you are the one for me
The one for me
Where do we begin?
Please don't leave me here
I feel lost in the night
Cause you won't stay stay stay
Where you are, where I am, feels like we no longer exist
In my heart, in my head, feel so lost I walk the abyss
Try me
Push me
To the edge
I wanna cry a river
Till i’m dead
I don’t know how i’m living
With my head
I’ve had my ups and downs
Since we first met
I don’t need your advice
I don’t need your attention
I’m alright
Can you please get my pension
I don’t want to fight
And not to mention
I don’t wanna ride, ride
Another high
Another high
Another high
Another high
Where do we begin?
Please don't leave me here
I feel lost in the night
Cause you won't stay stay stay
Where you are, where I am, feels like we no longer exist
In my heart, in my head, feel so lost I walk the abyss
In Rapture's song Farewell, the lyrics seem to portray a sense of bitterness and despair towards a certain situation. The opening lines speak of being "bewitched by the thin red line" and letting it "snip the silver twine." This could be interpreted as a reference to giving in to temptation or falling for something that ultimately leads to disappointment. The fact that the singer is "staring in silence" and claiming ownership of their situation further emphasizes a sense of resignation or possibly even a lack of control.
The second verse continues with a description of "discomfort" and "silent fear" that is both "icy cold" yet "seems to sear" the singer's soul. This paradoxical description could potentially represent the conflicting emotions of feeling numb yet overwhelmed by a traumatic experience. The reference to mortal life disappearing adds a sense of finality and perhaps even a hint of suicidal ideation, as the singer looks back on a life that didn't turn out how they hoped.
The chorus then takes on a slightly more defiant tone, with the singer seeming to embrace their suffering and welcoming whatever they receive, even if it is "wastelands of sorrow." The juxtaposition of "blood before tears" suggests valuing physical pain over emotional, and the final line of "I deserve everything I get" further reinforces a sense of self-punishment or guilt.
The final verse reflects a somewhat nihilistic view of life, with the singer finding joy in the fact that they are "nothing" and describing desolation as a "delicate thing." This could be seen as a commentary on the fleeting nature of life or the idea that existence itself is ultimately meaningless.
Overall, Rapture's Farewell offers a bleak yet thought-provoking perspective on life and the nature of suffering.
Line by Line Meaning
Was I bewitched by the thin red line
Did I fall under the spell of temptation and allow it to cut off my connection to what truly matters
And let it snip the silver twine
Did I let my temptation sever my connection to the divine
I stare in silence
I am lost in thought and contemplation
That is mine
My internal struggle and pain, which nobody can fully understand or take away
Discomfort of my silent fear, so icy cold,
My silent fears cut me to the bone and leave me frozen in a cold despair
Yet somehow seems to sear my soul
My fears burn deep within my being, causing me untold anguish
Until the ache's too much to bear,
My pain becomes unbearable, and I cannot endure it any longer
As mortal life now disappears
As I transition out of this limited mortal existence
To steal sweet youth before it turned to gold.
To rob me of my youth and vitality before I truly had the chance to appreciate it
Existence now is not what I was told;
The reality of existence is not what I expected or what I was taught
Wastelands of sorrow, I welcome all I receive
I embrace my sorrow and accept everything that comes with it
Blood before tears, you will see
I will shed blood before I shed tears, showing my strength and resilience
Cold and redundant, I deserve everything I get
I am cold and unfeeling, and whatever comes to me is what I deserve
What joy, want for nothing
I find solace in having no desires or expectations
Sweet rapture for I am nothing
I experience a blissful release because I am nothing
Desolation is a delicate thing
Feeling emptiness and isolation is a fragile type of pain
