Fallen World
Venturia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That things ain't so hard,days aint so grey
But man,for much too long,I have waited
To find a new path,a new heaven to pray...
...To find a new heaven to pray
Is there a reason tu clench our fists?
Is there a reason to reach our east?
When Jesus himself has lost his golden crown
So many words of wisdom in my head
So much of you that I can't even see
I whisper the thoughts of the prayer here in bed
The one who teached me the rules of this world beyond the sea
The dark figures on the chinese curtain
Waves solemnly under the silent moon
Removes the clouds from the top of the mountain...
Is there a reason tu clench our fists?
Is there a reason to reach our east?
Why can't we see that this pain is our own
When Jesus himself has lost his golden crown
I can't find the strenght to struggle on such a big scene
When my arms are numbed and trapped under ice
This fight strikes me and tries to wash all my sins
My endless torments drive myself to vice
Is there a reason tu clench our fists?
Is there a reason to reach our east?
Why can't we see that this pain is our own
When Jesus himself has lost his golden crown
In a land where the sun will arise,one day my soul will be free
And I will leave in peace with you:part of me I will never see
So deep inside,I can feel you in my veins
So deep inside,You stay so far away
I keep on praying...In this fallen world
The opening lines of "Fallen World" by Venturia are a rejection of those that consider the singer's thoughts to be overly complicated. The singer is in search of a new path to follow, a new "heaven" to seek. The lyrics express a sense of isolation and searching for meaning in a world that is seemingly filled with pain and confusion. The song refers to a search for inner peace and strength to overcome the struggle.
The song also references Jesus and his loss of his golden crown. The mention of Jesus portrays a theme of strength and unbreakable faith, despite the pain and suffering that the world may present. The lyrics suggest that humans tend to look for someone to blame for their pain and struggles rather than recognizing and taking ownership of their own pain.
The imagery in this song is consistent with the theme of searching for peace in a world of turmoil. The dark figures on a Chinese curtain waving under the moon symbolize a sense of solace and reprieve from the struggles of the world.
Overall, "Fallen World" portrays a sense of searching for meaning in a world of pain, confusion, and turmoil, and finding inner strength and peace through faith and self-reflection.

When Jesus himself has lost his golden crown
Even powerful or influential people can experience loss or suffering
So many words of wisdom in my head
I have a lot of knowledge and insight
So much of you that I can't even see
There is a lot about myself that I don't understand
I whisper the thoughts of the prayer here in bed
I reflect on my thoughts and beliefs before going to sleep
The one who teached me the rules of this world beyond the sea
Someone taught me how to navigate or understand the world we live in
The dark figures on the chinese curtain
I see ominous shadows on a piece of fabric
Waves solemnly under the silent moon
The fabric moves slowly and quietly in the moonlight
Removes the clouds from the top of the mountain...
The shadows make it look like the clouds are being lifted off a mountain
I can't find the strength to struggle on such a big scene
I feel overwhelmed and weak in the face of a major challenge
When my arms are numbed and trapped under ice
I feel physically and emotionally frozen or stuck
This fight strikes me and tries to wash all my sins
The struggle makes me feel like I'm being punished for my mistakes
My endless torments drive myself to vice
My ongoing troubles lead me to engage in unhealthy or harmful behaviors
In a land where the sun will arise,one day my soul will be free
I hope to find peace and freedom someday in a better place
And I will leave in peace with you:part of me I will never see
I will find peace with someone, even though I may never fully understand or know myself
So deep inside,I can feel you in my veins
I feel a strong connection to someone or something within me
So deep inside,You stay so far away
Despite feeling connected, I also feel distant or separated
I keep on praying...In this fallen world
Despite the struggles and pain in the world, I continue to seek guidance and hope
