Death's Song
Vampiria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pour existence full of limits, never burnt by pleasure's fire
A book of guilt leads them lives
At the heart of the dark I shake myself for their weakness (a sea of wisdom to sail, and them, flock of sheeps, drowns down in submission (turn off the light, forgive the sun scaping from storm to store in old dimension
Now I found a door, a mystic door between the trees in a black wood
I start to break the silence...
Perpetual silence of the deads)
When I close my eyes in total dark, turn off the light, forgive the sun scaping from storm to store in old dimension
I start to break the silence... perpetual silence of the deads.
The song "Death's Song" by Vampiria speaks of the human condition that is entrapped by guilt, fear, and limited existence. It depicts how people live their lives feeding on cheap knowledge without finding their true identity. They are enslaved by their fear of God and are bound by books of guilt that dictate their lives. The lyrics also mention how the singer is in the heart of darkness and is frustrated witnessing people drowning in submission while there is an ocean of wisdom to sail.
The song takes a turn when the singer discovers a mystical door in the black wood that breaks the silence of perpetual death. This verse could be interpreted in different ways, but it may depict the singer's discovery of a new meaning of life or a new path towards enlightenment. The lines "turn off the light, forgive the sun scaping from storm to store in old dimension" suggest the singer's detachment from the mundane world and his embrace of a new reality.
Overall, "Death's Song" is a powerful representation of the human condition and the search for meaning and identity beyond the limitations of fear and guilt.
Line by Line Meaning
Burning souls in lakes of guilt, blind slaves of fear to god, lives without identity, just a mass of cheap lives without identity, just a mass of sheeps (feeding on the carrion of knowledge)
People with guilty conscience are trapped in fear of god, living a life without true identity, blindly following others like a herd of sheep feeding on knowledge that is no longer relevant
Pour existence full of limits, never burnt by pleasure's fire
Living a life restricted by societal norms and never truly experiencing the pleasures of life
A book of guilt leads them lives
Their lives are guided by the weight of their own guilty conscience
At the heart of the dark I shake myself for their weakness (a sea of wisdom to sail, and them, flock of sheeps, drowns down in submission (turn off the light, forgive the sun scaping from storm to store in old dimension
In the darkness, I recognize their weaknesses and pity their submission to outdated knowledge. They are like a flock of sheep drowning in ignorance, unable to see the light of wisdom. It's time to let go of old beliefs and embrace new perspectives
Now I found a door, a mystic door between the trees in a black wood
I have discovered a mysterious door hidden among the trees in a dark forest
I start to break the silence... Perpetual silence of the deads)
I am breaking the silence that has been imposed on us by the dead, the weight of their outdated knowledge and traditions
When I close my eyes in total dark, turn off the light, forgive the sun scaping from storm to store in old dimension
In the darkness, I let go of the old beliefs and forgive the sun for leaving us in a storm. I am ready to explore new dimensions
