Sick of going to ‘gothic’ nightclubs and spending the nights looking moody in the corners, secretly wishing they’d play 'Serpent’s Kiss' (so they could display the light bulb changing and apple picking dance moves they’d spent years perfecting in front of their mirrors) instead of the stuff these people were dancing to, holding their glow sticks. Hell, some of the people at these clubs didn’t even dye their hair black.
Something had to be done, and there were only 3 people up to the task.
Twilight
Solemn Novena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And i can see the light fade from your eyes.
As twilight fades
And the moon will eclipse the day
The stars shine down
And i can see the tears that you cry,
The shadows creep across your face
But still i see what you hide
Across the mountains
Through the trees
Devils lurk inside of me
They know you're here
They sense your fear
Angel of the light
Please guide me through this darkest night
Guide me through the raging storm
Help me to forget it all
Rain falls down
All around it drowns the soul and kills the pain
I'm walking through the deepest waters
In vain although i know i cannot see i've lost my way
That there will always be another day
My dark angel carry me
Across the mountains
Through the trees
Devils lurk inside of me
They know you're here
They sense your fear
Angel of the light
Please guide me through this darkest night
Guide me through the raging storm
Help me to forget it all
And it breaks your heart
And steals your soul
And we fall apart
It leaves you cold
And we fade away
And there's nothing left to say
Save me from the burning light
I can't stand another night
The song "Twilight" by Solemn Novena explores the idea of darkness and light, both in the external world and within oneself. As the sun sets and the night begins, the singer can see the light fade from the eyes of the person they are addressing. The darkness seems to envelop them as the shadows creep across their face, and tears are shed. The singer, however, sees beyond the surface and can see what the person is hiding, calling them their "dark angel." The song seems to be calling on this angel to guide the singer through the darkness and fear that they feel within themselves, embodied by the "devils" inside of them that sense the angel's presence.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of pain and loss, as rain falls down and drowns the soul. The singer is walking through the deepest waters and has lost their way, but they cling to the hope that there will always be another day. The song ends with a plea to be saved from the burning light and the promise that the singer cannot stand another night. The overall message seems to be one of finding hope and guidance in the darkness, whether it be in the form of a metaphorical dark angel or something else.

The sun has set
The day has come to an end
And i can see the light fade from your eyes.
Your eyes do not shine brightly like they used to
As twilight fades
As the day slowly darkens into night
And the moon will eclipse the day
The moon will soon be the only light source in the sky
The stars shine down
The stars are visible in the sky
And i can see the tears that you cry,
I can see that you are crying
The shadows creep across your face
The darkness is slowly taking over
But still i see what you hide
I can see through your facade despite your efforts to hide
My dark angel carry me
My trusted one, help me through this darkness
Across the mountains
Through tough obstacles
Through the trees
Through the beauty and dangers of nature
Devils lurk inside of me
I am struggling with my inner demons
They know you're here
My demons sense your presence
They sense your fear
My demons are taking advantage of your vulnerability
Angel of the light
My savior, the one who brings positivity and hope
Please guide me through this darkest night
Please help me get through this difficult time
Guide me through the raging storm
Guide me through the tough, tumultuous times
Help me to forget it all
Help me release the pain and move on
Rain falls down
It is raining heavily
All around it drowns the soul and kills the pain
The rain is all-consuming and can alleviate even the deepest pain
I'm walking through the deepest waters
I am going through the toughest of times
In vain although i know i cannot see i've lost my way
I feel lost and helpless, even though I know I am lost
That there will always be another day
This too shall pass, and a better day will come
And it breaks your heart
It causes deep emotional pain
And steals your soul
It makes you feel empty and without hope
And we fall apart
Our relationship and life falls apart with it
It leaves you cold
It makes you feel numb and emotionless
And we fade away
Our existence and love fades away
And there's nothing left to say
There are no words left to express the sorrow felt
Save me from the burning light
Save me from the harsh reality and pain of life
I can't stand another night
I cannot handle going through another difficult time

They were a gorgeous duo, their music took me out of a dark spot in my life and made me believe in beautiful things again, just wish they could make more music as Solemn Novena again. They deserve to be famous even if it goes against the ideal of a gothic rock band they are great at what they do and very talented and should be recognized for there extravagant work.

How exactly do they go against the cannons of goth ? This is gothic rock in its purest form lol
