Thalion Lyrics

[Lyrics by Rodrigo Vinhas & Alexandra Liambos]
[Music by Fabio Russo]

Say a fair word to me
To show me how I
Will be free
Away form here

Now desperate small town
Leaving behind
Sunken in pain

The journey
Will start these days
One last time
My face will feel sorrow and I say (please)
Let me go in peace

My life goes with the rain
So weak and broken
Find a word
With no straight lines

I will see
Life is all the same
Without you
Sunken in pain

The journey
My soul burns again
One last time

My face will feel sorrow and I say (please)
Let me go in peace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Thalion's song "The Journey" are an exploration of the emotional turmoil of leaving behind a painful past and embarking on a new journey of self-discovery. The opening lines "Say a fair word to me, to show me how I will be free, away from here" convey a sense of desperation and a yearning for a new beginning. The singer is looking for words of comfort and guidance to help them move on and start afresh.

The lines "My life goes with the rain, so weak and broken, find a word with no straight lines" suggest a feeling of vulnerability and fragility, as if the singer's entire identity is being washed away by the rain. The metaphor of finding a word with no straight lines could represent a need for new and unconventional ways of thinking and experiencing life.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "The journey" which could symbolize the path of self-discovery that the singer is about to undertake, with the line "My soul burns again" suggesting a renewed passion and drive to explore and experience life. The final line "Let me go in peace" conveys a sense of acceptance, as if the singer has come to terms with leaving the past behind and is ready to embark on a new journey with a sense of peace and resolution.

Line by Line Meaning

Say a fair word to me
Please say something kind to me to offer me hope

To show me how I
To show me the way to freedom

Will be free
To be released from the pain and suffering

Away from here
To escape the current situation and find a new beginning

Now desperate small town
Living in a small town with limited opportunities and feeling hopeless

Leaving behind
Moving on from the past and not looking back

Sunken in pain
Drowned in a sea of sadness and suffering

The journey
Embarking on a new path in life

Will start these days
The new journey will commence soon

One last time
Final attempt before giving up

My face will feel sorrow and I say (please)
I will be sad and hoping for mercy
