1) Shaman is the name of a Brazilian Power Metal band, who had changed their name to Shaaman before the release of their second album Reason due to copyright issues. Shaman formed on 2000 by three Angra ex-members - André Matos, Luis Mariutti and Ricardo Confessori. Some time later, Luis' brother Hugo Mariutti (guitars) joined the band, and completed the original line-up. Shaaman split up due to 'musicial differences' in October 2006.

Following the split up, Ricardo Confessori constructed a new line up featuring guitarist Leo Mancini, vocalist Thiago Bianchi and bassist Fernando Quesada. The name "Shaman" was then re-adopted, as per the band's new website, and released the album Immortal in 2007.

2) Shaman was the former name of the Finnish Folk Metal band called Korpiklaani. Shaman is heavy music with yoik singing, shaman drum and lyrics in Northern Samí language (an endangered Finno-Ugric language). They decided to change their name to Korpiklaani (meaning forestclan) though you can still hear things reminding of Shaman.

3) SHAMAN (USPTO trademark in 1990) is a Celtic and World music folk rock group from New York City with their own blend of music to raise ecological and social awareness which they called “Earth Music”. They released 5 albums of recorded music under the Indie label, Solstar Communications from 1990 to 1995. The name SHAMAN was chosen by founder Brahm Stuart (AKA Shaman Starseed) for it’s connotation of communicating for unseen forces of other dimensions to humanity. Shaman played regularly during the 90’s at festivals and clubs in the Northeast U.S., notably at the Starwood Festival and eco-rock-club, Wetlands in New York City where they were a regular headliner advertised as “Celtic Hippie Dancing”. The underlying mission of the group was to help raise awareness of the need to change social consciousness due to the ecological peril that we are in, and to promote a new paradigm of unconditional love and good vibrations for all living beings. Shaman’s 4 albums include “Ode to Mother Earth” 1990, “Live Hobbit Day” 1992 and “The Green Man” 1994, as well as a folk music compilation, “Dans Mediterraneo” 1993. They now reformed to release upcoming cd:
A Change is in the Wind.

4) Shaman is Andreas Henning, a Progressive-Trance producer signed to Plusquam Records in Germany. His musical career started back in 1998 when a friend showed him the first steps in music production and he got hooked on it, fascinated to be able to create music of his own. Over the years, he made big steps forward, improving his production skills and finding his own style. Complex surface compositions, deep bass constructs, carefully used melody sequences and an overall hypnotic groove are the ingredients of his very unique sound. After being present on numerous compilations on recordlabels like Digital Structures, Plusquam, Manta, Novatekk, DOMO, Dance’n’Dust, Tribal Vision, the time was come for his first album "Foretaste" which was released on Plusquam Records in 2004.
August 2006 saw the release of his second studio album "Grv Soldier."

Trail Of Tears
Shaman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trail Of Tears

Not for a day
Not for a while
You run alone you never satisfied
Oh you've been dreaming for a hundred years

So you begin

To understand
That your lifetime is running through your hands
Oh! Will forgive you for this Trail of Tears

There you go out

Someone to know
Easy to find
Full feel your hearts will blew of many kinds
Only will change it for its train of shore

There you go
Hearing voices and noises to go
There you stand
Back in time every hour once begin
There you walk and then...

After a shock
Time to recompose
No bleeding heart
"So the screamings that you feel"

Oh! Will forgive you for this Trail of Tears

There you go
Hearing voices and noises to go
There you stand

Back in time every hour once begin
There you walk, my friend!

Overall Meaning

The song "Trail of Tears" by the Brazilian metal band Shaman is a powerful ballad about the human struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The lyrics are introspective and melancholic, with a sense of resignation mixed with a plea for redemption. The singer of the song seems to be a person who has been searching for something elusive for many years, but never quite finding it. They feel alone, unsatisfied, and trapped in a cycle of disappointments and regrets.

The line "Oh! Will forgive you for this Trail of Tears" suggests that the singer is aware of their mistakes and failures, and is seeking forgiveness for them. The metaphor of the "Trail of Tears" is a poignant one, as it refers to the forced removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the United States in the 19th century. This historical event was marked by immense suffering, loss, and trauma, and has become a symbol of the injustice and cruelty of colonialism. By using this metaphor, the song highlights the universal nature of human pain and suffering, and encourages empathy and compassion.

The chorus of the song is particularly stirring, with its repeated phrase "There you go, hearing voices and noises to go, there you stand, back in time every hour once begin, there you walk, my friend!" This seems to be an encouragement to keep moving forward, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty. The song ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that there is a way out of the Trail of Tears, and that forgiveness and redemption are possible.

Line by Line Meaning

Not for a day
This feeling has persisted for a long time

Not for a while
It's not a passing feeling

You run alone you never satisfied
Feeling isolated and unfulfilled

Oh you've been dreaming for a hundred years
A long-held dream that hasn't been fulfilled

So you begin
Start to realize

To understand
Gain insight into the situation

That your lifetime is running through your hands
Time is slipping away

Oh! Will forgive you for this Trail of Tears
Acknowledging the pain and asking for forgiveness

There you go out
Venturing into unknown territory

Someone to know
Looking for connection with others

Easy to find
Hopeful that connection can be achieved

Full feel your hearts will blew of many kinds
Emotions are overwhelming

Only will change it for its train of shore
The journey will be lifelong

There you go
Continuing on the journey

Hearing voices and noises to go
Facing distractions and obstacles

There you stand
Reflecting on the past

Back in time every hour once begin
Remembering every moment of the past

There you walk and then...
Moving forward despite the challenges

After a shock
When things become difficult and unexpected

Time to recompose
Taking the time to recover and regroup

No bleeding heart
No longer experiencing intense pain

"So the screamings that you feel"
The pain is internal and not visible to others

Oh! Will forgive you for this Trail of Tears
Asking for forgiveness again

There you go
Continuing on the journey

Hearing voices and noises to go
Facing distractions and obstacles again

There you stand
Reflecting on the past again

Back in time every hour once begin
Remembering every moment of the past again

There you walk, my friend!
Encouragement to keep moving forward from a friend

Trail Of Tears
Shaman

Not for a day
Not for a while
You're all alone you never satisfied
Oh you've been dreaming for a hundred years

So you begin
To understand
That your lifetime is running through your hands
Who will forgive you for this Trail of Tears?

There you go on
Someone to love
Easy to find
Fulfill your heart with blood of any kind
Unlink the chain before it strangles you

There you go
Hearing voices and noises again
There you stand
Back in time where it all once began
There you are,in vain

After a shock
Time to recompose
an old bleeding heart
So mistreated and abused

Who will forgive you for this Trail of Tears?

There you go
Hearing voices and noises again
There you stand
Back in time where it all once began
There you are, my friend!
