Shallow Grave
Without Grief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there is not much left for me
I will perish in a sea
Of Eternal hate and sin and finally I'm free
And shall forever be
The bridges to your world
Are forever locked in chains
But to speak my final words
And to bury the remains imprisoned by the pain
And I was trying so hard without finding
A reason to live on
All hope is gone
Among the useless I stand
I'm sunken in despair
And death is in the air
I'm lost in a fallen land
Where no one seems to care
It's more than I can bare
Walking through an endless hall
Grey heart, black night, defenseless souls
I'm hanging in the garden of pride
Where the darkness and the brightness collide
The lyrics of Without Grief's song "Shallow Grave" depict a person who is standing in the ruins of their life, feeling lost and alone. The singer feels that there is not much left for them, and they are resigned to perishing in a sea of eternal hate and sin. However, there is a sense of freedom in this final release from the pain and suffering of their life. The bridges to the world of the living are forever locked in chains, and the singer must speak their final words and bury the remains imprisoned by the pain. Throughout the song, there is a sense of hopelessness and despair as the singer feels lost in a fallen land where no one seems to care.

I'm standing in the ruins
I find myself in a place of destruction and devastation
And there is not much left for me
I have lost almost everything
I will perish in a sea
I am doomed to be submerged in
Of Eternal hate and sin and finally I'm free
An abyss filled with anger, wrongdoings and death, where I am liberated from the agony of life
And shall forever be
And this will be my eternal fate
The bridges to your world
The connections to your reality
Are forever locked in chains
Are permanently restrained
There is no other way
There is no alternative course of action
But to speak my final words
Except to express my last thoughts
And to bury the remains imprisoned by the pain
And to lay to rest the thoughts and emotions that have been trapped and tormented by agony
And I was trying so hard without finding
I was making a great effort but remained unsuccessful in finding
A reason to live on
A motivation to continue living
All hope is gone
There is a complete absence of any hope
Among the useless I stand
I find myself surrounded by those who are incapable of being of any use
I'm sunken in despair
I am deeply consumed by hopelessness
And death is in the air
And the prospect of dying is a distinct possibility
I'm lost in a fallen land
I am disoriented in an area that is no longer pure
Where no one seems to care
Where nobody appears to have concern
It's more than I can bare
It is an unbearable weight
Walking through an endless hall
I am wandering in a never-ending passage
Grey heart, black night, defenseless souls
My spirit is colorless, the evening is ominous and those around me are unprotected
I'm hanging in the garden of pride
I am suspended in an area of vanity
Where the darkness and the brightness collide
Where the light and the shadow meet
