At sixes and sevens
Sirenia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You seem to lose it all,
And more somehow
No waning life can retrieve it
Can't make the world
A better place to thrive
Nor can I keep on persisting
You're on the wane in funereal windsWith a thousand winters within
You're life unveil its weary eyes
Sun sets in somber skies
Your waning desires brought to fire
Where your withering life has been mourned
For a thousand years,
Where the pain blend with ire
And the night enflames us both
Walk down the narrow path
Years of decay
Feel life's soul-inflicting hurt once again
You're dying now
You make it feel somewhat divine
Your lenient eyes are somewhat healing
You make it feel the less a strife now
A precious life cease persisting
You're on the wane and eden's hewn
Falter still under a funereal moon
Your tears they sweep upon life's shore
Until the day you weep no more
Sunset's on the wane
In life we suffer the same
When sundown comes around
Stalking strangers on hollowed ground
Endarkened souls entwined
Together at the end of lifeEmbrace the new divine
Or suffer another lifetime
I can feel the flames
The fire lick me in vain
My life can't be regained
Not now, nor then, nor ever again
We cross our feeble hearts
The day our souls depart
Life move in strangest ways
We died somewhat, somehow in every day

Line by Line Meaning
In times of strife
During difficult times
You seem to lose it all,
You lose everything
And more somehow
And even more than you thought you could lose
No waning life can retrieve it
Nothing can bring back what you lost
Can't make the world
It's impossible to change the world
A better place to thrive
To make it a better place to live
Nor can I keep on persisting
I can't keep going like this
You're on the wane in funereal winds
You're slowly fading away in a mournful atmosphere
With a thousand winters within
With a heart that feels like it's endured a thousand cold winters
You're life unveil its weary eyes
Your tired eyes reflect the exhaustion of life
Sun sets in somber skies
The sun sets in a depressing sky
Your waning desires brought to fire
Your weakening desires burn inside of you
Where your withering life has been mourned
Where your fading life has been grieved
For a thousand years,
For an immeasurable length of time
Where the pain blend with ire
Where pain and anger come together
And the night enflames us both
And the night ignites our emotions
Walk down the narrow path
Follow a difficult road
Years of decay
Years of rot and deterioration
Feel life's soul-inflicting hurt once again
Experience the pain of life once more
You're dying now
You're in the process of dying
You make it feel somewhat divine
You make it feel like a spiritual experience
Your lenient eyes are somewhat healing
Your gentle eyes have a soothing effect
You make it feel the less a strife now
You make it feel less difficult now
A precious life cease persisting
A precious life stops enduring
You're on the wane and eden's hewn
You're fading away and paradise is ruined
Falter still under a funereal moon
Still struggling under a gloomy moon
Your tears they sweep upon life's shore
Your tears crash upon the shore of life
Until the day you weep no more
Until the day you stop crying
Sunset's on the wane
The sunset is losing its brightness
In life we suffer the same
We all suffer the same fate in life
When sundown comes around
When the sun sets
Stalking strangers on hollowed ground
Roaming aimlessly on life's barren terrain
Endarkened souls entwined
Darkened souls intermingled
Together at the end of life
Together at the end of their existence
Embrace the new divine
Accept the idea of a new form of spirituality
Or suffer another lifetime
Or endure another existence
I can feel the flames
I can feel the heat
The fire lick me in vain
The fire licks me without any purpose
My life can't be regained
My life cannot be restored
Not now, nor then, nor ever again
Never again can I recover what I've lost
We cross our feeble hearts
We hope with our weak hearts
The day our souls depart
The day we die
Life move in strangest ways
Life behaves in unexpected ways
We died somewhat, somehow in every day
We experience small deaths every day
