Otherworld
The Black Mages Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another world awaits you
Don't you give up on it
You bite the hand that feeds you
All alone, cold fields you wander
Memories of it cloud your sight
Fills your dreams disturbs your slumber
Hold now, aim is steady
Another world awaits you
One thousand years, you ready?
The otherworld it takes you
Go into the sand and the dust and the sky
Go now, there's no better plan than to do or to die
Free me, pray to the faith in the face of the light
Feed me, fill me with sin and get ready to fight
Hope dies and you wander
The otherworld it makes you
Dreams they rip asunder
The otherworld it hates you
All alone, cold fields you wander
Memories of it cloud your sight
Fills your dreams disturbs your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight
Free now ride up on it
Up to the heights it takes you
Go now if you want it
Another world awaits you
Another, another world awaits you
The opening lines of The Black Mages' song Otherworld encapsulate the feeling of being drawn towards a different reality. The singer urges the listener to embrace this new world and not give up on it despite the challenges that may come with it. The phrase "bite the hand that feeds you" adds a sense of danger to the journey, suggesting that the old ways must be left behind in order to move forward.
Throughout the song, the lyrics take on a dreamlike, almost nightmarish quality as they describe a fallen knight lost in cold fields haunted by memories of a distant world. The repetition of this imagery reinforces the idea that the journey into the otherworld is not an easy one. The lines "One thousand years, you ready?" and "Feed me, fill me with sin and get ready to fight" further emphasize the trials that lie ahead.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a call to adventure, urging the listener to take risks and embrace the unknown rather than becoming stagnant in their current state. The lyrics are evocative and vivid, leaving plenty of room for personal interpretation.
