Dawn
Snow Ghosts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two steps forward
And five steps hence
Taking your words
To build the trench
Wrapped around parts
With baited prose
I'll breach these walls
If the doors are closed

I'll never tire
And I'll never fall
You built the pyre
To answer my call
Forests will burn
Ashes will rise
Ask me your turn
With the dawn in your eyes

Fletch your arrows
And strain your bow
I'll bare my chest
If you shoot low
The axe that you picked
With petals torn
Will root itself back
Before the dawn

I'll never tire
And I'll never fall
You built the pyre
To answer my call
Forests will burn
And ashes will rise
Ask me your turn
With the dawn in your eyes

You built the pyre




To answer my call
Forests will burn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Snow Ghosts' song "Dawn" paint a picture of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. The opening lines talk about two steps forward and five steps back, symbolizing the feeling of stagnation despite one's efforts to move forward. The second half of the verse shows the singer taking the words of others to build a trench, perhaps to protect themselves from harm. However, the chorus reveals that this person will not tire or fall, despite the obstacles in their way. The pyre that was built was meant to answer their call, which could signify that the singer has some sort of grand purpose or goal.


The second verse brings in more imagery, this time referencing forests burning and ashes rising. It gives the impression that destruction may be a necessary step towards achieving one's goals, which can be a painful but necessary process. The singer challenges their opponent to ask their turn, indicating that they are ready for whatever the opposition may bring. The last two lines seem to indicate that the dawn represents a new beginning, a chance to start fresh and pursue one's goals with renewed vigor.


Overall, "Dawn" is a song about perseverance, determination, and resilience. It tells the story of someone who refuses to back down, no matter what obstacles they may face. The imagery of burning forests and rising ashes evokes a sense of chaos and destruction, but also a sense of transformation and renewal. In the end, the singer embraces the dawn as a chance to start over and continue on their journey.
