Sinmara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wherein shadows thrive endlessly
A shallow mire of desolate catharsis
Prospering flames and barren minds
Voyage in transcendental ekstasis
And the wailing decline of blossoming aeons
Plunging through draconian tunnels
Between wretched ruins
Drunk from the fountain of woeful hearts
Amidst the apex of perpetual drought
Spellbound with nauseating fevers
Burrowed beneath the withering soil
Forever nestled in slumbering death
Glide through an ocean of serpent fire
Leap into a cluster of crimson stars
And thus the earth shall tremble
In a maddening daze, I enter naught
And this world of zealous grace
Devoured by earthly horrors
The lyrics of Sinmara's song Crimson Stars are steeped in dark imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of a desolate, barren world. The first stanza speaks of fiery havens saturated with sulphur and dust, inhabited by shadows that thrive endlessly. The second stanza describes a journey in transcendental ekstasis, navigating draconian tunnels in ethereal hysteria. The third stanza talks about being spellbound with nauseating fevers and burrowed beneath withering soil, forever nestled in slumbering death. The final stanza ends with a powerful image of the earth trembling and the world devoured by earthly horrors.
In essence, the lyrics describe a world that is ravaged by destruction and decay, where everything is barren and lifeless. The journey through the various stages of this world is not a pleasant one, filled with suffering and despair. However, it does offer a glimmer of hope in the cluster of crimson stars that can be leapt into, perhaps symbolizing a way out of the darkness.
Line by Line Meaning
Fiery havens saturated in sulphur and dust
A place filled with fire, sulfur, and dust
Wherein shadows thrive endlessly
A place where shadows exist and never cease to exist
A shallow mire of desolate catharsis
A superficial and hopeless form of emotional release
Prospering flames and barren minds
Fire that grows and spreads but without intellectual stimulation
Voyage in transcendental ekstasis
Travel in a state of spiritual transcendence
And the wailing decline of blossoming aeons
The mourning end of a time of growth
Plunging through draconian tunnels
Going through strict and oppressive passages
In ethereal hysteria
In a state of frenzied emotion that is not of this world
Between wretched ruins
Amongst desolate remains
Drunk from the fountain of woeful hearts
Affected by the sadness of others to the point of intoxication
Amidst the apex of perpetual drought
In the driest and most hopeless point
Spellbound with nauseating fevers
Trapped in a sickening delirium
Burrowed beneath the withering soil
Deeply embedded in dying ground
Forever nestled in slumbering death
Eternally resting in a peaceful, yet lifeless state
Glide through an ocean of serpent fire
Gracefully move among a sea of fiery creatures
Leap into a cluster of crimson stars
Jump towards a group of vividly red celestial bodies
And thus the earth shall tremble
The world will shake
In a maddening daze, I enter naught
Entering nothingness in a state of madness
And this world of zealous grace
A world filled with passionate and exalted beauty
Devoured by earthly horrors
Consumed by frightful things that relate to the physical world
