Storms
Siebenbürgen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Obsessed by thy soul
The life of a sinner
As the storms draws near
Behold the visions
Awakened to the sky
Filled with flaming thoughts
What have become?
When all is concealed
See the shapes of thy likes
As centuries has failed
Finding through the darkness
The Enigma of thy souls
Takes thee back in ancient times
And reveals the truth
"... Storms - Are thy weakness
Storms - Are thy faith
Storms - Will reveal to thee,
The secrets of the night... "
For eternity
The impressions of a dream
The touch of a sinner
Make the storms bleed
Hold the chalice
Awakened to the sky
Filled with burning hopes
And with thy greed
Is this the end?
When all is revealed
See the shapes of thy likes
Where centuries has failed
The song "Storms" by Siebenbürgen is a perfect example of the Gothic metal genre. The song is about a person who is obsessed with their soul and has lived their life as a sinner. As the storms draw near, they are filled with flaming thoughts and see visions of the sky. They feel fear, and as the centuries have failed to bring them peace, they turn to the secrets hidden in the darkness. The song suggests that the person's weakness and faith lie in the storms, which will reveal to them the secrets of the night.
The lyrics of the song are a reflection of the Gothic culture, which places great emphasis on the darkness and the unknown. The lyrics suggest that the storms in life are not to be feared but embraced as they hold the key to understanding the hidden aspects of the human soul. The chorus repeats the word "Storms" in a chant-like manner, further emphasizing the importance of this element in the song.
The song's overall message is one of finding solace in the darkness and that the storms in life are essential to understanding ourselves fully. It is not about avoiding adversity but rather embracing it as a path to self-discovery.
