Regret
Unto Ashes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were some fields and dead vines around
or maybe the trace of a distant cloud,
a flicker of light, of memory
Cascading memory drifting in silence,
fading now
There were some leaves still attached to dead trees,
later the snow upon the ice fields,
then comes the rain and memories
Cascading memory filtered in shadow,




fading now

Overall Meaning

In Unto Ashes's song "Regret," the lyrics describe a world of memories that have faded over time. The opening lines refer to empty fields and dead vines, possibly representing abandoned dreams or unfinished projects. The reference to a "distant cloud" and "memory cascading" suggest that these memories are far away and elusive. As the song continues, the imagery shifts from dead trees to icy fields and finally to rain. The memories are slowly fading away, filtered in shadow, until they are just a flicker of light.


This song is a poignant reflection on the transience of memory and the inevitability of regret. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for something that is lost forever, while also acknowledging the beauty and fragility of the human experience. The imagery is rich and evocative, creating a vivid picture of a world that is slowly slipping away.
