Twilight
The Nexion-Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the twilight moon a shadow pulls away
Walks the lonely path, it slowly stalks its prey
Slipping silently, it walks another's path
Matches quickened steps, they're almost home at last
The rising silhouette, the castle's guarded gates
A shouted challenge, the shadow calmly waits

The gates are opened wide, the pathway leads within
The shadow slips inside and no one sees a thing
It follows on again, the victim unaware
Glad to be back home, to breath the castle's air
Steps the spiral stair to the tower's top
The maiden waits within, he almost shyly knocks
He hears the latch unlock. The maiden lets him in
Before the door has closed, the shadow slips within

The shadow takes on form, a jealous lover's rage
Murdered years ago, and left to rot an age
Confronts the man he stalked, his killer long ago
The flash of spectral steel, the killer bleeds and falls




The rage has gone away, the shadow starts to fade
Now he is avenged, his spirit can find peace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Twilight" by The Nexion-Project depict a story that unfolds in the eerie setting of the twilight moon. In the first verse, a shadow emerges and gradually starts to track its prey along a desolate path. The shadow quietly matches the steps of its unsuspecting victim, who is nearing their destination – a castle guarded by imposing gates. As the victim approaches the gates, a challenge is shouted, but the shadow remains calm and patient.


As the gates open wide, the shadow seizes the opportunity to slip inside the castle unnoticed. It continues to follow the victim, who remains unaware of their stalker's presence. The victim, relieved to have returned home, ascends a spiral stair to reach the top of the tower where a maiden awaits. After a hesitant knock, the victim is welcomed in by the maiden who opens the door. In that moment, the shadow also manages to enter before the door closes again.


The lyrics then reveal that the shadow transforms into the form of a jealous lover consumed by rage. This lover had been murdered years ago and left to decay for an extended period. Confronting the person who had ended their life long ago, the specter brandishes a ghostly weapon, causing the killer to bleed and fall. As the rage subsides, the shadow gradually begins to fade away, ultimately finding peace in knowing that their vengeance has been achieved.


Overall, these lyrics depict a haunting tale of revenge and justice in which a vengeful spirit emerges from the shadows of twilight to confront and avenge their own murder, finally finding redemption and release.
