Orff
Within Temptation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been dreaming for so long
Endless wisdom comes our way
And before he his time has
Never failing until the end

We'll always, we'll always
See the truthless skies in your face
We'll never, we'll never
See the love when having goodbye

If you want to belong
And never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong

We've been dreaming for so long
Can his words taken you way ?
And before he his time has
Never faling until the end

We'll always, we'll always
See the truthless skies in your face
We'll never, we'll never
See the love when having goodbye

If you want to belong
And never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong

For how long?
The dream has sinned long ago
We tell our stories and endless worries found in here
We'll be together, for ever and ever
found in here

We'll always be

If you want to belong
And never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong




And never see your face
And never to be strong

Overall Meaning

Within Temptation's "Orff" depicts a scenario where a dream has been ongoing for so long that its meaning is no longer clear. The song's lyrics suggest that wisdom is always accessible, but not always easy to understand. The band touches on the idea that time is both continuous and finite; it keeps moving, but eventually comes to an end.


The chorus refers to the fact that it's always possible to see someone's face or know their true intentions. The song also talks about the struggle to belong somewhere, as well as the pain of being unable to face something. Sometimes, it's too hard to be strong in the face of loss and tribulation.


Line by Line Meaning

We've been dreaming for so long
We have had this dream for an extended period of time


Endless wisdom comes our way
We continually have opportunities for knowledge acquisition


And before he his time has
Before his appointed time to leave this world


Never failing until the end
He will persist without fault until the end


We'll always, we'll always
We will continually


See the truthless skies in your face
We will see your face as you pretend to be truthful


We'll never, we'll never
We will never


See the love when having goodbye
We will not feel love when saying goodbye


If you want to belong
If you desire to fit in


And never see you're facing
Without ever acknowledging what you are dealing with


To feel the sorrow
To experience emotional pain


And never see the truth
Without ever acknowledging the reality


It's too long to belong
It takes too much time to fit in


And never see your face
Without ever acknowledging your true self


And never to be strong
Never to have inner strength


Can his words taken you way?
Will his words captivate you?


For how long?
Until when?


The dream has sinned long ago
The dream became corrupt with sin a long time ago


We tell our stories and endless worries found in here
We share our tales and constant anxieties here


We'll be together, for ever and ever found in here
We will stay together here, always and forever


We'll always be
We will continuously exist

Wow, I remember when this (and 'run') was the only thing we had before The Silent Force. I still miss that guitar solo when I listen to Jillian.

I actually prefer the melodic sequence of this one, except the guitar.


But I guess it became more studio over time.
