STARGAZING
Tell You What Now Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rips a pitch-black abyss inside of me
But in all this nothingness there's a view sowell-known
Stargazing at those fainting lights
So we meet again, (such an awful night)
(Please leave me be), I can't stand your sight
You're my mute companions (in my everlasting fight)
(Swallowed)
Fragments of the past brought up by lights in the dark
You were supposed to guide me home
Every single one of you considered a traitor
Backstabbed from so far away
Inferiorly waiting
For you to follow up on what you promised me so longago
You said I'm safe with you and must not leave
For the night is dark and full of terrors
Submissively I waited
Afraid to move but also way too terrified to stay
It's when I finally realized it
Your light was fake and brought me off the right way
I brought the horrors with me
War has its foot in my door, demanding to come in
What once has started as a new form of pride,
Has become a home front
Oh my queen, would you take me in
I'll open myself to your eternity
Reasoning so fruitless
My mind is made up, I'm too far gone
All those thoughts I can't control
As I'm laying here
Stargazing at those fainting lights
So we meet again, (such an awful night)
(Please leave me be), I can't stand your sight
You're my mute companions (in my everlasting fight)
Gone
Into the dark
I must walk away from those dying lights
The lyrics of "Stargazing" by Tell You What Now are rich and complex, portraying a sense of darkness and emptiness that the singer feels in the world. The beginning of the song establishes the misery that the singer is feeling, suggesting a feeling of tragedy and loss within their world. The darkness that rules the place, and the pitch-black abyss that is created within them both suggests a sense of loneliness and despair. However, within that darkness, they find familiarity with the stars. The phrase "But in all this nothingness, there's a view so well-known" suggests that even in the darkness where there seems to be nothing, there remains constant clarity and hope.
The singer then goes on to tell about the feeling of being backstabbed by the lights in the dark. The light was supposed to guide the singer home but failed to fulfill its promise, and they feel betrayed. The light was fake, and it misled the singer. The singer, submissively waited, and their fear grows as they realize the light has taken them away from their path. The horrors of war become closer, and the sense of doom is potent. The singer's plea to the queen to take them in depicts the desperation of the singer in search of refuge.
All in all, the song "Stargazing" by Tell You What Now showcases a sense of tragedy and loss amid the darkness. It speaks of loneliness, despair, and hopelessness, with a glimmer of hope still existing in the stars.

Darkness, she's ruling this place
The setting is dark and eerie

(Swallowed)

Memories are brought forth in the dark
You were supposed to guide me home
The artist trusted the stars to lead them to safety
Every single one of you considered a traitor
The singer feels betrayed by the stars
Backstabbed from so far away
The stars are too distant to provide help
Inferiorly waiting
The singer is waiting helplessly
For you to follow up on what you promised me so long ago

Reasoning so fruitless
The singer is unable to think logically
My mind is made up, I'm too far gone

As I'm laying here

Gone
The end of a chapter
Into the dark

I must walk away from those dying lights
The artist is leaving behind the stars and moving on

Sehr geiles Ding! Find ich genauso gut wie 'Surviving Workuta' und 'Grains of Sand', wenn nicht sogar besser.
Der Refrain gefällt mir besonders gut, die Clean-Vocals nehmen schon beim ersten hören direkt mit und sorgen für den gewissen Ohrwurm-Effekt. Sehr schön, dass der Refrain nicht komplett clean gesungen ist, die Screams und der Growl passen wunderbar, das habt ihr sehr gut gelöst.
Was mir persönlich nicht gut gefällt, ist direkt der erste Vers.
Ich bin kein großer Fan von Growls und dadurch, dass "Darkness" gegrowlt ist, wird es mir einfach zu tief. Gerade nach dem eher ruhigen Intro kommt der Growl ein bisschen zu heftig rüber. Ohne Growl hätte es mir besser gefallen, aber das ist ja bekanntlich Geschmackssache :D
Das Video sieht übrigens auch sehr gut aus, auch wenn ich es inhaltlich bisher noch nicht ganz verstehe :D
P.S.: Frodo sollte nächstes mal etwas anziehen, was seinen Hals nicht noch kürzer macht :'D

Das Album fetzt schon hart. Alle tracks sind echt gut und laufen bei mir rauf und runter. Vor allem gefällt mir, dass sich, wie bei vielen anderen Bands, euer Sound nicht ändert, sondern von EP zu EP zu Album immer gleich gut geblieben ist. Weiter so Jungs!

Ich bin einfach so sprachlos, so fasziniert, so überwältigt, und so gerädert, dass ich keine Worte für diese Göttlichkeit an Musik finde.
Ist wirklich großartig geworden!

Ich glaub, der Song wird mein Lieblingssong vom neuen Album. Ich hab den ja schon beim ersten mal hören ziemlich hart gefeiert. Also weiter so Jungs, klingt echt Hammer und das Video ist auch klasse ♡
