Lost
Tristania Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hard
I'm harder than the life I've lived
Strong
I'm stronger than the pain you give
It's lost
So lost
The world you're in
The life you live
I see the lies
The dark side of the smiles you give
I'm one
I'm anyone you like me to be
I'm gone
Whenever you would like to be free
Old
I'm older than the years I've lived
Cold
I'm colder than the smile you give
My life has been the dreams you say I'm living in




How long will you be lost, my dear
When will you give in?

Overall Meaning

"Lost" by Tristania is a powerful song that delves into the struggles of life and the masks we wear to hide our pain. The lyrics tell a story of someone who has faced incredible hardships, but has become hardened and strong as a result. Despite this strength, the world they see around them is lost and full of lies, represented by the "dark side of the smiles" they encounter. As a result, the singer takes on many different personas to try and navigate this world, but ultimately feels old and cold. The final lines of the song hint at a longing for release and an end to the struggle.


The lyrics of "Lost" are incredibly evocative and showcase the complexity of the human experience. Each line builds upon the next to create a portrait of someone who has seen too much and yet still manages to survive. The reference to "the dreams you say I'm living in" is particularly poignant, as it highlights the way that others can impose their own ideas of success and happiness on us, often without understanding the reality of our lives.


In addition to its powerful lyrics, "Lost" is also notable for its incredible music. The song is built around a driving, heavy guitar riff that perfectly captures the intensity of the lyrics. The vocals range from haunting whispers to powerful screams, showcasing the breadth of Tristania's musical abilities.

When will you find your way?


When will you give in?
When will you stop resisting the truth?

Hard!
I'm harder than the life I've lived
Strong!
I'm stronger than the pain you give
It's lost, so lost
The world you're in, the life you live
I see the lies
The darkside of the smiles you give

I'm one, I'm anyone you like me to be
I'm gone, whenever you would like to be free
I'm one, I'm anyone you like me to be
I'm gone, whenever you would like to be free

Donat tenebris pro paenitentibus
Nummatae vini erimus egentes
Semel bibunt pro rodimus
Selam timus solus quo
Tenebris tentibus

Membris, lacertis, labii

Old
I'm older than the years I've lived
Cold
I'm colder than the smile you give
My life has been
The dreams you say I'm living in
How long will you
Be lost? My dear, when will you give in?

I'm one, I'm anyone you like me to be
I'm gone, whenever you would like to be free
I'm one

Donat tenebris pro paenitentibus
Nummatae vini erimus egentes
Semel bibunt pro rodimus
Selam timus solus quo
Tenebris tentibus

I'm one, I'm anyone you like me to be
I'm gone
I'm gone, whenever you would like to be free
