Dragon
The Browning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am, I am empty, empty
I feel nothing inside of me
I am, I am empty, empty
(You will die, mortal)
I've walked that path it's a dark one
The dragons' flames will consume you
Blackened is the Sun
You think you are the chosen one
Till death takes everyone and everything
(Immorality is darkness)
I feel nothing inside of me
I am, I am empty, empty
Flames fall from the sky
Alone in this world that you destroyed
Immortal
I've walked that path it's a dark one
The dragons' flames will consume you
(I feel nothing inside of me)
I feel nothing inside of me
I am, I am empty
Empty
Empty
Flames fall from the sky, sky
Alone in this world that you destroyed
The Browning's song Dragon captures the essence of the dark and mythical creatures that have been feared for centuries. The lyrics depict the singer's emptiness and yearning for immortality. The line "I feel nothing inside of me, I am, I am empty, empty" emphasizes the singer's lack of passion, empathy or purpose in life. The lyrics suggest that the singer has chosen to follow the path of darkness rather than embrace the light. The line "The dragons' flames will consume you" depicts the realization that pursuing immortality has its consequences, and the singer may end up destroying everything in his path.
The song's chorus highlights the theme of immortality and the consequences that come with it. The lyrics, "Blackened is the Sun, You think you are the chosen one, Till death takes everyone and everything" , speaks to the idea of people feeling superior and invincible until they face their ultimate demise. The song emphasizes that immortality is more of a curse than a blessing. The line "Flames fall from the sky, Alone in this world that you destroyed" refers to the destruction caused by dragons and how the world will be left barren and alone once they are gone.
