M.I.T.T.R.H.E.
Signs Of Darkness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcoming the elevator light from the 17th floor
They're marked in grey essence blurring
Twisted in doubt-soft contact turning
The earth awaits-for that it's craving

Tears for fears-fear your tears
Laugh inside-inside your laughs
Pure fantasies-fantasies are pure
Awaiting the third-the third awaiting

At this time the story was told about a man and a girl so cold
For her the essence is that, the fact she needs a manin her bed
"living this life", she says, "earning money for the love instead"
This is it, she always needs, with this she loves the ones she feeds

Bitterness unfolding, tears weeping, the new world essence shining
Performing live, feelings feeding the emptiness inside of you





Welcoming the elevator light from the 17th floor
They're marked in grey essence- visions are blurring

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "M.I.T.T.R.H.E." by Signs of Darkness appear to convey a sense of confusion, doubt, and emptiness. The first verse describes someone waiting for an elevator on the 17th floor, marked in "grey essence" which blurs their vision. They seem to be turning in "doubt-soft contact," perhaps unsure of where they are going or what they are doing. Meanwhile, the earth awaits them, perhaps suggesting that they are delayed in fulfilling their purpose or destiny.


The second verse introduces the idea of tears and fears, and seems to suggest that these emotions can be intertwined with each other. The lyrics play with the contrast of pure fantasies and pure fear, creating a sense of ambiguity and surrealism. The last line of the verse, "awaiting the third - the third awaiting," is enigmatic and difficult to interpret, but may suggest a circular logic or repeating pattern.


The final verse describes a story about a cold woman who uses men for love and money, and suggests that bitterness and emptiness are common themes. The lyrics seem to describe a world that is both confusing and alluring, where emotions and relationships are unreliable and unpredictable. "M.I.T.T.R.H.E." is a complex and thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to reflect on their own emotional experiences.
