Flag of Fate
Witchcraft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And twenty days
All since when
We parted ways
No tears no joy
No looking back
Strange intense
The flag of fate
Was waving by
It shoved its face
Deep into mine
All motion of thoughts
This chain of loss
Is binding me
It eats and gnaws
Commence the funeral
Its playing in my mind
All precious memories
Are turning their blind eye
Commence the funeral
Its playing in my mind
All precious memories
Are turning their blind eye
I saw it coming
The lyrics of Witchcraft's song Flag of Fate describe the intense emotions of a person who has been separated from a loved one for a long time. The singer speaks of "lonely years and twenty days" which seem to have passed since their separation. They say that there is "no tears no joy" and they do not look back. Instead, they feel a "strange immense" feeling which consumes the singer.
The flag of fate is a powerful metaphor used in the song. It represents the idea that fate has taken control of the situation and the singer has no control over it. The flag is "waving" and "shoving its face" into the singer's own, suggesting that they are being forced to confront their fate. All their thoughts are consumed by the loss they feel and they feel bound by it. The lyrics are heavily emotional and create a sense of despair and sadness.

Its playing in my mind
These thoughts are constantly on my mind
All precious memories
Even the happy moments are now tainted by this situation
Are turning their blind eye
Those memories are now unresponsive to my attempts to revisit them
Commence the funeral
It's time to say goodbye to what once was
Its playing in my mind
These thoughts are inescapable
All precious memories
Even the happy moments are now consumed by grief
Are turning their blind eye
Those memories can no longer provide comfort or solace
I saw it coming
I knew this end was inevitable
