The Epoch of Stillness
Summoner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gurgling state of time a spite of spinner's fate
No falling rain from clumsy sky
The river lies in dry weather
Lust is growing in a lunar land while sun is turning

The evidence of eternal wait intensifies faintness
In the reign of false compliance in epoch of stillness
A gloomy stage takes all the steps
Of people frightened from what they avoid
In the dreaminess of their dreamless day
Everyone dredges up his mud
A rose thorn is springing blooded tears
In the reflection of morning dawn
The beauty ragged now is dying

Scared to death we are damned as into a stalemate making us
Scarecrow into the emptiness ghosts in shadow's lives

The epidemic of equal needs quickly writes the epitaph
The nemesis of indifference enthroned queen of everything
The epicentre in negligence is pacifying everyone's heart

Melancholy the only one beach
While in the memory the pieces are lost
The plot of what is really gives
A sense of void in misery
Becoming clear the hypocrisy
Of nature of personality
What it is left is the epoch of stillness

Gurgling state of time stiffened is our time
While as a pallid stone the sun is dying




The wind blows strong enjoys the ride
Of ashes dance dust in your eyes

Overall Meaning

Summoner's song "The Epoch Of Stillness" is a vivid depiction of a world caught in the grip of stagnation brought about by a manipulative state of affairs that thrives on people's numbness and indifference. The song describes how lust is growing in a lunar land while the sun is turning. The metaphorical language used here puts into perspective how the world is getting darker even as people remain unfazed by their careless living. The river lies dry in the weather, giving a metaphorical description of how things are disintegrating in our niche due to the apathy of those in power. The mention of the "reign of false compliance in the epoch of stillness" represents how the government system has failed to address pressing issues while promoting the status quo, leading to a sluggish environment where people are too afraid to take risks and change things for the better.


Every person has their wild stage, but in this song, "A gloomy stage takes all the steps of people frightened from what they avoid," symbolizes how people have lost their spark and are living a life of fear of the unknown. The mournful tone of the song is sustained in the next verse as "everyone dredges up his mud." It is figurative language that implies various individuals are now coming to the fore with hidden agendas seeking to advance their interests, even if it is detrimental to those around them. The epoch of stillness is portrayed as a time when even beauty is ravaged and dying. A sense of doom pervades, with people realizing they are behind in life, caught in a stalemate where they can't seem to make any progress, given that they are all wrought in fear.
