The Wind
This Vale Of Tears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at the moon
Look at me
Look how small we are
Like grains of sand, in the wind
Shout at the moon
Shout at me
Shout your heart out
I will hold you tight, in the wind
And the wind will carry our words
Forever
Dark is the night
Dark are we
Like brother, like sister
Strangers to each other
What am I to you?
As I’m not there
But you look like me
and together we’ll stand, in the wind
And the wind will carry our words
Forever
What can I do for you?
Offer you some kind of comfort




Like a brother, for his sister,
Is supposed to do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to This Vale Of Tears' song The Wind are essentially about the existential nature of life and the emotional bonds that connect people to one another. The opening lines encourage the listener to contemplate their place in the universe by looking at the vast moon and realizing how small they are in comparison. The following lines then suggest that despite our smallness, we are connected by the wind that carries our words and emotions. When we shout, our words are carried away by the wind and are passed on forever.

Hi, Validas, MissHM, it's amazing to see some people are still following what we did already some years ago. We've had a ball with TVOT and personally I'm still proud of the meldodic gothic rock we managed to dig up :-) - Johan Peeters
