Ethereal Places
Scelerata Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your life seems crystal
Around my mesmerized soul

Don't try to fool me
I know it's part of the show

You know, you take me
To ethereal places

Your claims are foolish
My tears are out of control

You know, don't take my faith
To ethereal places

Here's my winter
Frozen and dry
I am freezing
In your arms

No matter how, it turns to snow
Your words are crap, here comes the ones

Oh, you know, you take me
To ethereal places





Be my chain, be my gain, turn into shades!
Ethereal Places!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scelerata's "Ethereal Places" speak about a relationship that seems perfect from the outside, but in reality, it is built on falsehood and illusion. The singer proclaims that their partner's life seems crystal and mesmerizing to their soul, but they are not easily fooled by the facade. They recognize that their partner's claims are foolish, and their tears are out of control. They beg their partner not to take their faith to ethereal places: places that exist only in the imagination.


The singer describes their winter - a time of emotional coldness and emptiness. They feel frozen and cold in their partner's arms. No matter how hard they try, their words only turn to snow, and their promises are empty. Despite this, the partner takes them to ethereal places that are full of illusions and false hope.


The chorus repeats the phrase "you know, you take me to ethereal places," emphasizing the idea that the partner is responsible for leading the singer down a path of false hope and disillusionment. The final line, "be my chain, be my gain, turn into shades," expresses the singer's desire for their partner to be something more substantial and real rather than an elusive, intangible presence in their life.

Your life seems crystal
I perceive your life to be clear and transparent


Around my mesmerized soul
It surrounds and captivates my spirit


Don't try to fool me
Do not attempt to deceive me


I know it's part of the show
I understand that it's all an act


You know, you take me
You lead me, guide me

Your claims are foolish
Your statements lack sense

To ethereal places
To unreal, imaginary realms


Here's my winter
This is my season of coldness


Frozen and dry
Completely stagnant and barren


I am freezing
I am very cold


In your arms
While in your embrace


No matter how, it turns to snow
Regardless of the situation, it always ends up badly


Your words are crap, here comes the ones
Your speech is nonsense, now truthful words emerge


Oh, you know, you take me
You are aware of how you lead me


To ethereal places
To dreamlike, surreal domains


Be my chain, be my gain, turn into shades!
Become my bound possession, my benefit, fade away!


Ethereal Places!
Otherworldly Realms!
