Change The Tide
Soulspell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Judith - Munhoz)
Am i dreaming or am i alive?
The devil was my last sight
At the end of this line
I see something i can't understand
And i feel there's no time to waste
I must prevent my son's disgrace
(Charon - Vescera)
How dare you look me in the eye?
You are no more then ashes, void of life
But i own you appreciation
This is your lucky day
Just make a wish

(Judith - Munhoz)
Let me guide him forever
Is a sole drop enough to change the tide?

(Solo - Lambert)

(Charon - Vescera)
You are standing right between the poles
Both attract you, now you go for one
Either way you lose, you know
How could you wish
Something for him, not for you?

(Judith - Munhoz)
Let me guide him forever
Is a sole drop enough to change the tide?

(Charon - Vescera)
There was only a right choice
And you did well
Time has come
Don't waste a drop and change the tide





(Solo - Lambert)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soulspell's "Change The Tide" speak of a mother's struggle to prevent her son from experiencing the same fate as herself. Judith seems to be in a state of confusion as she contemplates her reality - she cannot distinguish whether she is dreaming or alive. She recalls seeing the devil at the end of the line, which leads one to speculate that she may be in some kind of purgatory. However, she quickly snaps back to reality, realizing that there isn't much time to waste as she wants to prevent her son's disgrace.


Her encounter with Charon, the ferryman of Hades, follows, where he questions her audacity for meeting his gaze. The exchange takes an unusual turn as he offers her appreciation and the chance to make a wish. Judith seizes the opportunity and wants to guide her son "forever." She is uncertain if a single drop is enough to change the tide and prevent her son from experiencing the same fate as herself.


Discerning Charon's advice, Judith concludes that there are only right choices, and she must not waste a drop to change the tide. The song speaks of the eternal cycle of life and how people try to break free of their destiny, and in doing so, are caught up in a never-ending loop. Charon's presence in the song often signifies the journey beyond the physical world and a hint at the inevitability of fate.

Great song instrumentally, lyrically & vocally.
P.S. Daísa is the queen, not merely a princess, vocally speaking.
