Regret
Unto Ashes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
fading now
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.
Line by Line Meaning
There were some fields and dead vines around
Surroundings with fields and dead vines were noticed
or maybe the trace of a distant cloud
Possibly the detectable remains of a faraway cloud were seen
a flicker of light, of memory
A momentary gleam of memory was seen
Cascading memory drifting in silence,
Memories flowing in a peaceful manner
fading now
Gradually vanishing
There were some leaves still attached to dead trees,
Dead trees with some leaves still clinging were observed
later the snow upon the ice fields,
Subsequently, snow covering icy fields was seen
then comes the rain and memories
Afterwards, rain and memories followed
Cascading memory filtered in shadow,
Memories falling gently and dimly in shade
fading now
Slowly disappearing
