Seelennacht Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the lie, so cold your heart
Empty faces, bullets defy
They are burning into the sky
Revelation of conspiracies
Cold mechanic entities
Reproducing only sorrows and lies
Corrode in silence under black skies
Don't throw it away
We see it every day
Ruins surround me
I stand here
In a world that's so demanding
I don't feel home
I defend you
I approve you
I feel you
I never let you go
Everything I see is grey
Traumatized and pushed away
No shelter, no place to stay
Pale faces, violence reigns
Are these orders that make sense?
Inclination for destructive veins
Is the source we fight and rebel against
Reform, command, expand, reset
Black is the only shade I bet
Repeat!
Traumatized and pushed away
no shelter, no place to stay
Reform, command, expand, reset
Black is the only shade I bet
The lyrics of the song "Ruins" by Seelennacht deal with feelings of being ostracized, traumatized, and torn apart from society. The singer of this song is struggling with the lies and emptiness that surround them, feeling disconnected and isolated from the world around them. The lyrics are filled with powerful imagery that highlights the bleakness of the singer's situation. The "empty faces" and "pale faces" that the singer sees around them represent the soullessness and inhumanity of modern society. The bullets soaring into the sky symbolize the violence and destruction that seems to follow humans wherever they go.
The song's chorus, "Ruins surround me, I stand here, in a world that's so demanding, I don't feel home," expresses the singer's sense of alienation and despair. Despite the bleakness, however, the song ultimately ends on a note of hope. The lyrics urge the listener not to throw away their life, to recognize that there is more to this world than the ruin and despair that surrounds them.
In summary, the song is a powerful, evocative call to action for listeners, urging them to reject the destructive and inhuman aspects of modern society and strive for hope and renewal.
