Lady Madeline
Törr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Napůl živá, napůl ne
Běhá po schodech
V nešťastném sklepení bezvládně padá
Zase neukojila svoji sílu a hněv
Nedávej jí svou hlavu
A nevolej její jméno - Lady Madeline
Napůl živá, napůl ne, běhala po schodech
Ve spánku zapomnění navždy zůstane
Snad teď, když tělo je napůl
Už nikdy nevstane
Nedávej jí svou hlavu
A nevolej její jméno – Lady Madeline
The lyrics of Törr's song Lady Madeline are vivid and haunting, and they tell a dark story of a half-dead woman running up and down the stairs of a gloomy cellar. The opening line "Jak tisíce kopyt zní ten dunivý běh" (Like thousands of hooves, the resounding run) creates an eerie atmosphere, as if we are hearing the pounding of a horse's hooves accompanied by the woman's frantic footsteps. The lyrics suggest that Lady Madeline is in a state of half-life, half-death, which makes her movements all the more disturbing.
The second verse reveals that Lady Madeline is trapped in a state of eternal sleep or forgetfulness, her body unable to fully awaken from its half-dead state. The lyrics "Ve spánku zapomnění navždy zůstane / Snad teď, když tělo je napůl / Už nikdy nevstane" (She remains in forgetful sleep forever / Perhaps now, when her body is half / She will never rise again) evoke a sense of hopelessness and despair, as if there is no escape from her fate.
The chorus warns against calling Lady Madeline's name or giving her one's head, suggesting that she has powers beyond human comprehension. Her anger and strength are insatiable and dangerous, and it is best to leave her be. Overall, Törr's Lady Madeline is a mesmerizing tale of horror and mystery, with lyrics that paint a vivid and unsettling picture.
