Zero Gravity
Wolfheart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Profound is the grief
Fathomless and downhearted is the silence
Overwhelms like a flood
Drowns into the deep dark waters

The ocean floor
Somber and bleary surrounding
Beneath the ice
Frozen surface has begun
To block the light of the sun

The absence of light
Breeds and altered reality
Faithful and familiar

Desolation, despair
Like a dead space inside of me
Creates a zero gravity
Existence
Without intention

Footprints on the snow
Covered by the frozen rain from the north
A trace leading into the dark
A grand isolation

Cold is the air to inhale
Cold is the heart impaired
Glacial blood runs in your veins
Pitch-black and frosty ichor

The absence of light
Breeds and altered reality
Faithful and familiar

Desolation, despair
Like a dead space inside of me
Creates a zero gravity




Existence
Without intention

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Zero Gravity" by Wolfheart is a haunting portrayal of the immense grief and despair that engulfs the singer's soul. The opening lines, "Profound is the grief, Fathomless and downhearted is the silence," lay bare the depth of the singer's sorrow. The metaphor of overwhelming floodwaters effectively conveys the way in which this grief has completely engulfed the singer's mind and soul, pulling them down into a deep, dark abyss. The next set of lines, "Beneath the ice, Frozen surface has begun, To block the light of the sun," depict this heavy burden that the singer carries - like the frozen surface of the ocean, their heart has become icy and impenetrable, ultimately blocking out the light of hope and love.


The idea of an altered reality is highlighted in the lines, "The absence of light, Breeds and altered reality, Faithful and familiar." The singer's world has become bleak and devoid of any color or joy, and they are left with only the faithful and familiar darkness. This despair creates a zero gravity existence, devoid of any intention or purpose. The last stanza uses the metaphor of footprints on the snow, leading into the dark, to portray a grand isolation. The frozen rain from the north symbolizes the cruelty of fate and destiny, as it covers any traces of hope and happiness. The song ultimately explores the themes of pain, loss, and isolation in a deeply poignant and evocative manner.

Powerfull song, wintry weather and mystical northern nature. These are parts of the soul of heavy northern metal music.

When you decorate a castle with art... When you put a chilli on top of the meal... This is what you can call a killer riff... 2:57 killing each sense of weakness and defeat. Thanks Tuomas for such a brilliant riff <3
