Raventale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Кромсает огнем небеса, убивает
Тьмой наполняется лес одинокий
Вечер супстился с небес по дороге
По осенней дороге...
Солнце сбросило крылья огня
Искры огня...
Вновь уснет земля под листвою
Осенний лес...
И серебро небес я вижу над собою
В небе солнце дотла
Кровью плывут небеса
Тьмой наполнился лес
Вечер спустился с небес
The lyrics to Raventale's song, "Flames," describe the setting of a dark and desolate forest, aflame with the dying embers of the sun in the sky. The forest is described as "lonely," emphasizing a sense of isolation and abandonment. The evening has descended onto the forest road, and the raw earth itself seems to sing a song of sadness, as the forest illuminates with sparks of fire. The forest is preparing for the coming of autumn, and it seems as though the earth itself is alive and yearning for the quietude of the season's change. The conclusion of the song paints a picture of a crimson sky, full of blood and darkness, and the forest becoming even darker than before as nightfall arrives.
The theme of the song appears to be about the transitioning seasons and the longing for stillness and peace that comes with the autumn. The lyrics are full of imagery meant to evoke a sense of loneliness and isolation felt by the singer in the midst of a dying forest. Additionally, the lyrics seem to be questioning the meaning of life and our place in a world that seems to be intense and chaotic.
