Sometimes in the night
Runenblut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes in the night...
when I lay my eyes upon the stars
a feeling of pure hypocrisy overwhelms me
it feels like a hypnosis of black magic and satanic romanticism
which drags me into the deep dark worlds
and whows me the endless sky
time passes like a grain of sand in the sea
and I see my life fading slowly
until the last breath kills this feeling...

Slowly breathing my view is filled with panic..
But breathing hurts so much
until I find myself unconscious on the soil of reality

Sometimes in the night...
when I lay my eyes upon the stars
and pure cold freezes my stare body
a contact to an indescribable dark power begins
the power of cosmic origin
which forms and defines life
a power which drives me to total isolation
until the last breath returns
and someday when my views will be staring again




at the mystic powers of the cosmos
it will be the last day I am alive

Overall Meaning

The song “Sometimes in the night” by Runenblut explores the concept of self-reflection and contemplation while gazing upon the stars. The lyrics convey a deep sense of inner conflict, despair and a search for meaning in life. The opening lines of the song introduce the theme; the singer is lying under the stars and feeling overwhelmed by a sense of hypocrisy. The next line reveals that it is like he's under a spell of black magic and satanic romanticism, which leads him into a dark world. Here, he sees the vast sky, and time passes, going by like a grain of sand in the sea. As the feeling of his life fading slowly resonates within him, he realizes that it will eventually end with his last breath.


Nevertheless, this realization brings him to a point of panic, and he tries to hold onto his consciousness as much as possible, but it's too painful. Finally, he becomes unconscious and awakens back into the world of reality. Going back to observing the stars, he can't help but feel a sudden icy sensation across his body. A connection to a dark, indescribable power begins to take hold of him. This power is of cosmic origins and has a formative influence on life. This power leads him to total isolation, from which he is only freed when he breathes his last breath. The final lines of the song suggest that there is a contemplative and profound purpose to this experience, and one day, the singer's views will be staring; again, at the mystic powers of the cosmos, but this time, it will be his last.
