Tree Of Life
Roma di Luna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is there we’ll find our sight
No more darkness
No more lies
When we gather in the sky
The King has taken all our men
Lined up and shot 'em dead
They have all but what they need
The doves have fallen fast asleep
I am sleeping too it seems
All the grey did swallow you
We have lost our point of view
The lyrics in Roma di Luna's song Tree of Life tell a story of a world full of darkness, lies, and oppression. The singer begs to be taken to the Tree of Life, where they believe they will find clarity and truth. They hope to escape from the horrors of their reality and find a way to heal the wounds inflicted upon them. They long for a life without darkness and lies, where they can live freely and without fear.
The second stanza reveals the source of their pain, with the King taking their men and murdering them. The children also suffer, walking on broken feet with none of the basic essentials they need to survive. The doves, symbolic of peace, have fallen asleep, and the singer feels as though they are also sleeping, unable to awaken to the harsh reality of their situation. The world has become grey, and they have lost their point of view, feeling helpless and lost.
