Fortune
Sumie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one notice the between
And the far ends of a field
Dark and fiery clouds roll in
To a storm under my skin
Thoughts of innocence i leave
The lights and lock them in
In your arms my night begins
Silent spinning
Wheels of fortune
You keep on turning...
Me in

Wish we glittered in the sun
Summer came for the last time
The circle tracks down one by one
So we slow motion at once
A fraction of my shadows life
I can shake her hand and say
Keep my eyes open and wide

Silent spinning
Wheels of fortune




You keep on turning
Me in

Overall Meaning

The song "Fortune" by Sumie begins with a sense of isolation and loneliness. The lyrics "No one notice the between / And the far ends of a field" suggest a feeling of being stranded and forgotten, while the "dark and fiery clouds roll in / To a storm under my skin" hint at a deeper turmoil and emotional unrest. The singer then reflects on leaving behind thoughts of innocence and locking them away, as if acknowledging a loss of innocence or a difficult past. In contrast, finding comfort in someone else's embrace is like a beginning of a new night, a new hope.


The second verse continues the theme of change, reflecting on the fleeting nature of time and how everything must come to an end - "Wish we glittered in the sun / Summer came for the last time / The circle tracks down one by one / So we slow motion at once". The line "a fraction of my shadows life" implies that life is transient and that the singer is merely a small part of it, passing through like a shadow. However, the song ends on a note of optimism, as the singer resolves to "keep my eyes open and wide" and face whatever may come.
