Dawn
Wolverine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Upon a cold floor in a filthy room
In a river of blood she cries, she cries

And artwork of pain
And the brushstrokes are red

Fighting the emptiness
That is slowly consuming her soul

Fighting for her consciousness
Looking for the answers





Trying to remember
Finding the beginning

Overall Meaning

These lyrics describe a very dark and disturbing scene of a woman who is in a very bad state. She is lying on a cold and dirty floor, surrounded by blood, and is crying uncontrollably. The image of the "river of blood" suggests that the situation is very serious and may even be life-threatening. The next line uses art as a metaphor for the pain she is experiencing. The brushstrokes are red, which obviously symbolizes blood, and suggests that the pain is deep and intense.


The woman is then described as fighting against emptiness that is slowly consuming her soul. This suggests that she is in a state of depression or perhaps even suicidal. She is trying to hold on to her consciousness and find answers to her problems. The final line, "Trying to remember, finding the beginning", suggests that she is trying to trace back to where it all started in order to find a solution to her problems. The lyrics are very powerful and paint a very vivid picture of someone in a lot of pain and need of help.

Lying down on the unheated ground inside a dirty chamber


In a river of blood she cries, she cries

And the brushstrokes are red
The pattern is composed of hues of crimson, arising from her injuries
