Innocence
Season's End Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The euphoric age has now died,
Memories burn where they once shone.
The beauty of innocence,
Left forgotten in a dying day.

A kiss goodbye,
The past has faded away.
Love, inscribed deep in the wood,
Romantic words streamed like blood.

Trying to stare through the mists of the future,
Erase the bliss that once was the past.
Promises passed your lips with ease,
Only to whither in time.





My heart lost in the mire,
Paint this face a shade of misery.

Overall Meaning

Despite promises that were made, they withered in time, leaving behind a heart lost in the mire and painting a face with the shade of misery.


Line by Line Meaning

The euphoric age has now died,
The time of pure happiness and excitement is now over,


Memories burn where they once shone.
The memories of that time now bring pain and sadness instead of joy,


The beauty of innocence,
The purity and beauty of being young and naive,


Left forgotten in a dying day.
Now lost and abandoned in a world that is gradually coming to an end.


A kiss goodbye,
A final farewell,


The past has faded away.
The memories and experiences of the past are slowly disappearing,


Love, inscribed deep in the wood,
Proof of love carved into a tree trunk,


Romantic words streamed like blood.
Words of passion and love flowed like blood from an open wound.


Trying to stare through the mists of the future,
Attempting to predict what is to come in the future,


Erase the bliss that once was the past.
Removing the happy memories of the past in order to cope with the present,


Promises passed your lips with ease,
You made promises to me so easily,


Only to whither in time.
But over time, those promises faded away and were forgotten.


My heart lost in the mire,
My heart is stuck in a swamp of despair,


Paint this face a shade of misery.
Cover my face with a color that reflects my sadness.

The euphoric age has now died,
Memories burn where they once shone.
The beauty of innocence,
Left forgotten in a dying day.
A kiss goodbye,
The past has faded away.
Love, inscribed deep in the wood,

Trying to stare through the mists of the future,
Erase the bliss that once was the past.
Promises passed your lips with ease,
Only to whither in time.
My heart lost in the mire,
Paint this face a shade of misery.

Absolutely beautiful.

It's a shame that this band is still relatively unknown :( . Very similar stylistically to Avrigus, which is most definitely a good thing! :)

PNH750

Brilliant blend of Gothic and Heavy Metal. Some similarirty to the first Nightwish music. Watch their concert, 'End of an Era' and see if you agree.
