Occupied
Seraphim(六翼天使) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark night painting canvas, crying the curtain falls
Despite windstorm in sphere, gloomy air-raid
I still intone alone on the verge of destiny
Daylights confide to sky, a passing of time limitless
Just like manacled handcuffs, return from the pain
Swivel over the corruption land, poison your heart dip down to edge
The promise in mirror lens, leave the bitter and sad tears
Heading for loathe purgatory, occupied in the unreal
Silence of the night, brewing the enmity and hope
Racing in new dawn, the soul evil debates
Even withered desire into flow of tears
The saddest echo in turn, fatality of grief
Destroy a rigid heart, ebullient fire from Hades
A greed of gain flash, fear of caducity
Devouring haggard secret, glory of ice cold
The lyrics to Seraphim's song Occupied present a vivid image of a world that is both bleak and full of turmoil. The opening lines "Symbol of nature, overspread a pool of blood" sets the tone for the rest of the song, conveying a sense of conflict between beauty and violence. The "Dark night painting canvas" suggests that even amidst the darkness there is a sense of artistry, yet the "curtain falls" suggests an end to that art and beauty.
Despite the struggles evident in the world depicted by the lyrics, the singer is determined to continue on their own path. "I still intone alone on the verge of destiny" suggests a sense of isolation, but also persistence in the face of what may be an uncertain fate. The line "Daylights confide to sky, a passing of time limitless" provides a contrast between the vastness of time and the briefness of life.
The chorus continues this theme of darkness and struggle, with references to a "corruption land" and "loathe purgatory." However, there is still a sense of agency, as the singer is "occupied in the unreal." This could be interpreted as being fully focused on what could be seen as a fantasy or a dream, but it could also be read as a willingness to fight for something that is unlikely to be attainable.
Overall, Occupied is a song that presents a complex and vividly depicted world full of darkness, struggle, and inner conflict. Despite this, there is a sense of determination and agency in the singer's actions and thoughts.
