As she says, “Sylvaine serves as an emotional catharsis, leading me on a quest to explore profound sensations and concerns within me, sometimes dealing with questions where the answers seem vague, empty or absent. This project is a way of processing every aspect of life, allowing me to deal with matters that otherwise would be suppressed…”
Тоска
Sylvaine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The relentlessness grows
A longing with nothing to long for
Oblivious to what the future brings
Caught in a state of lethargy
Days go by outside the window
But inside, things are standing still
Come save me out of this
Save me from myself
On the verge of breaking down
My mind is keeping me imprisoned
On hold, waiting, pacing the floor
A dull ache inhabits my core
If I just knew what to do
Time wouldn't be wasted like this
Caught in a state of lethargy
Days go by outside the window
But inside, things are standing still
Everything has come to a stop
Can't go to sleep
There's something that's missing
Something I haven't accomplished
And when I wake, it might be too late
Please, don't tell me it's too late
Come save me out of this
Save me from myself
On the verge of breaking down
My mind is keeping me imprisoned
Come save me out of this
Save me from myself
This can't go on any longer
My mind is keeping my imprisoned
The song "Тоска" by Sylvaine is a meditation on the feeling of being stuck in a state of lethargy and stagnation, with a growing sense of longing for something that is unknown. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and entrapment, as the singer's mind seems to be holding them back from taking action and moving forward with their life. The repetition of the lines "Caught in a state of lethargy / Days go by outside the window / But inside, things are standing still" emphasizes the singer's feeling of being stuck in a rut, with time passing by without any real progress being made.
The chorus "Come save me out of this / Save me from myself / On the verge of breaking down / My mind is keeping me imprisoned" suggests that the singer is aware that they need to break free from their mental prison, but they are struggling to do so on their own. The final lines, "This can't go on any longer / My mind is keeping me imprisoned" convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer realizes that they cannot continue living in this state of limbo indefinitely.

It was big surprise to see russian name of song. I've didn't hear this album before, only albums after Wistful, but today this one already becoming on of my favourite. Other albums is more atmospheric, with very rich music and vocal melodies, and black metal pieces - they are all amazing. But this one is special, is frank, emotional. I like the sound of this album. Dishroria already playing almost ten times in this evening. Very hope to see you at last in summer festival after all this quarantine periods, especial in Russia. Thank you for you music, and best wishes in you music creativity!
