Thirdmoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beheaded Orchids in distant aeons wept
I saw an embodied angel in slumber
Withered astral wings and the body
Impaled by silver thorns...
Caressed by the breath of the serpent candle
Strangled by the withered tears that dance
Torn apart lonely croons of the golden weeps
Bowed down by the profound mask of cosmic filth
DRAIN THE BLOOD OF AN ANGELS'S WING
AND GLOWING SILVER WILL BURN YOUR SKIN
Deformed by the thoughts of an ancient wish
Slithered by the fallen angel's reptile eyes
Blinded by the wrathkind of the solar Icon
Burned tongues whispered in welkin sand
DRAIN THE BLOOD OF AN ANGELS'S WING
AND GLOWING SILVER WILL BURN YOUR SKIN
Afterglowed Ilusion
Broken horizon
Impaled regrets
Burned equilibrium
DRAIN YOUR BELIEVE
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANGELS ONCE DID
(I stared) into my own wept blood
The lyrics of Thirdmoon's song "Captured" tell a story of a surreal and dark dream-like experience. The song opens with the singer staring into the blind man's eyes, which are described as "azure", a serene blue color. The next lines refer to "beheaded orchids" weeping in distant aeons, suggesting a sense of timelessness and cosmic sorrow. The singer then sees an "embodied angel in slumber", whose astral wings are "withered" and body is "impaled by silver thorns". This image symbolizes the corruption of purity and beauty, with the silver thorns representing both the piercing of the angel's flesh and the harmful effects of something that appears beautiful.
The second stanza continues with the theme of corruption and decay, describing the singer as being "caressed by the breath of the serpent candle" and "strangled by the withered tears". The imagery of a serpent is often associated with deceit and temptation, while the withering tears suggest a sense of mournful resignation. The line "drain the blood of an angel's wing and glowing silver will burn your skin" reinforces the idea that perfection and beauty can be dangerous and harmful.
The third stanza brings in more religious and mythological symbolism, with references to fallen angels, the solar icon, and "burned tongues". The burning of the tongue suggests sin or punishment, while the fallen angel's reptile eyes symbolize deceit and corruption. The final line, "I stared into my own wept blood", can be interpreted as a moment of self-reflection and realization of one's own flawed nature.
