Storms
Slechtvalk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain, wind and thunder are beating me insane.
Dark clouds of fear are rushing around me.
And I run to escape from the pain.
Rise and feel the pain brought upon thee.
Rise and feel the pain of existence.
Rise and feel the pain brought upon thee.
And slowly I rise to face the storm.
To see and to mourn about what has become.
To accept that pain is also part of existence.
For I know that the pain will haunt me until I've seen her face to face.
This pain I cannot bear until the end.
But I will not have to bear it alone.
The lyrics of "Storms" by Slechtvalk describes a profound feeling of being trapped in a dark and overwhelming situation that seems impossible to overcome. The singer is expressing feelings of vulnerability and hopelessness as they struggle to cope with the pain they are experiencing. The use of metaphors such as black storms and dark clouds of fear effectively convey the intense and distressing emotions being experienced by the singer.
The first stanza of the lyrics introduces the theme of pain and suffering, as the setting of the storm represents the singer's inner turmoil. They describe feeling crazed and trapped within the storm of emotions, creating a sense of desperation as they run from the pain. However, the chorus brings a powerful message of resilience as the singer acknowledges the existence of pain and rises to face it. The second verse indicates the acceptance of the pain and the necessity to confront it in order to move forward.
Overall, this song focuses on the idea that experiencing pain and suffering is a natural part of existence, and that one must confront and overcome these challenges in order to grow and find strength. It encourages the listener to find the courage to face adversity and emerge stronger.

This is my favorite song of them right now. Btw, why did somebody say they are "no longer Christian" ? How silly to assume that. Just because they mostly make fantasy-themed songs? Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings. Doesn't mean he doesn't dropped his faith for not writing an epistle. Lol!
