Chimera
Salamandra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All you feel's disquiet
Longings burn and you do long to pry
Lovely chimera
Sneaks into your dreams
Braids you in those betrayal nets you cry
Damn such chimera

You don't have a chance at all
You can't run away
From this nightmare's course
Looks right into your eyes
With evil-eyed sight
You sink under force

Guards you day and night
Prowls around and leaves deep trace in soul
This cruel chimera
Controls your pure mind
Lives in your dreams with the only goal
Seek and destroy

You don't have a chance at all
You can't run away
From this nightmare's course
Looks right into your eyes
With evil-eyed sight
You sink under force

Come for a fantastic ride
You feel your wings grow
Life is like free fall
Fly and rise to the sun




Your ideas burn
So wake up and jump!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Salamandra's song "Chimera" paint a vivid picture of a person's internal struggle with their inner demons. The Chimera symbolizes a deceptive and destructive force that haunts the individual, causing disquiet and longing. The reference to betrayal nets suggests that this entity preys on the person's vulnerabilities, trapping them in a cycle of despair and anguish.


The repeated refrain of "You don't have a chance at all, you can't run away" reflects the feeling of helplessness and inevitability in the face of this menacing presence. The Chimera is described as having an evil gaze that penetrates the person's soul, exerting a powerful hold over their thoughts and actions. The imagery of sinking under force conveys the suffocating grip of this malevolent force.


The Chimera is portrayed as a relentless stalker, lingering day and night and leaving a lasting mark on the person's psyche. It is depicted as a cruel entity that seeks to control and manipulate the individual's mind, with the sinister purpose of seeking and destroying their innermost desires and aspirations. The lyrics convey a sense of powerlessness in the face of this all-consuming force.


Despite the overwhelming darkness and despair depicted in the song, there is a glimmer of hope in the final verses. The invitation to "come for a fantastic ride" and the imagery of wings growing symbolize a potential for rebirth and transformation. The call to "wake up and jump" suggests a call to action, urging the individual to confront their fears and break free from the clutches of the Chimera, to soar towards a brighter future with renewed vigor and determination.
