Aeons
The Gloom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At just half past noon
& the end is near
We'll share our pretty life
In a different life
'Cause we are bound for aeons
& it feels like
Feels like
& it feels like
We're not getting older
Like we're not getting older
& it feels like
Feels like
Ahead of us are aeons
& it feels like
We're not getting older
Here comes the leviathan
In the blacked-out sun
But baby don't you fear
'Cause when everything will fade
It will be your face
That will fade my tears
& it feels like
Feels like
We have known for aeons
& it feels like
The world is getting colder
& it feels like
Feels like
Feels like
Feels like
Feels like
We are bound for aeons
& it feels like
Feels like
Feels like
Feels like
Feels like
We are bound for aeons
Like we are bound for aeons
The lyrics of The Gloom's "Aeons" are imbued with a sense of impending doom and an impending sense of eternity. The song opens with the foreboding image of darkness descending at noon, suggesting that time is running out and the end is near. The line "We'll share our pretty life in a different life" implies that the singer and their loved one will be reunited in another existence after this one expires.
The chorus provides the central metaphor of the song: the sense of time stretching out before them like aeons. The repeated assertion that "it feels like we're not getting older" suggests that the singer is grappling with the finite nature of human existence and the hopelessness of trying to hold onto something that is destined to fade away.
The second half of the song introduces the image of a "leviathan" and a "blacked-out sun," suggesting the apocalyptic nature of the impending end. However, the line "It will be your face that will fade my tears" suggests that even in the face of destruction, the love and connection between the singer and their loved one remains a source of comfort and hope.
Overall, "Aeons" is a striking meditation on the nature of time and the enduring power of human connection in the face of the inevitable.
