A Shadow Arose
The Vision Bleak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

His breath fills the night,
The shadow arose!
No one by my side
No place to hide,
No road to flee,
The seed of the night,
Sent from the sea.




Overall Meaning

In The Vision Bleak's song A Shadow Arose, the lyrics describe the emergence of a dark and ominous force that fills the night with its presence. The persona in the song is alone and has nowhere to turn as the shadow arises, indicating a sense of impending doom and isolation. The use of imagery in the lyrics also mentions the sea as the source of this seed of the night, possibly alluding to the idea that darkness and chaos can arise from within nature itself.


The overall mood of the song is one of apprehension and tension, emphasized by the heavy instrumentation and ominous melody. The lyrics speak to the fear of the unknown and the feeling of vulnerability when faced with a powerful force that cannot be controlled or escaped. There is a sense of inevitability, as though the shadow rising is an unstoppable force that will soon engulf and overwhelm everything in its path.
