Curtain
riverside. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm bleeding
I don't mind
That was very foolish of me
I can do nothing now
Light shines in the darkness
Wish I could turn back time
Oh my Guardian Angel
Take me away from here
I think I'm ready now
But still can't make up my mind
Memories of yesterday
Hopes left behind
I have to fade away now
There's no other way out
The curtain falls
The Curtain Falls by Riverside is a song that is open to interpretation. It could be about death, depression, or just the end of something. The opening lines, "I know what I'm really like, I'm bleeding, I don't mind," suggest someone who is accustomed to suffering and has learned to accept it. The next line, "That was very foolish of me, I can do nothing now," could imply that the person blaming themselves for their situation or regretting some poor decision they made that led them to where they are.
The idea of light shining in the darkness may be a reference to hope, but the following line shows that the person doesn't want to leave the darkness. They wish they could turn back time, possibly to change what they did wrong, but it seems that it's too late. The reference to the guardian angel could suggest a longing for death or a desire to escape, but the person is still unsure if they are ready for that.
The lines "Memories of yesterday, hopes left behind" suggest that the person is reflecting on their life and the things they have lost or missed out on. The repetition of "I have to fade away now, there's no other way out" implies that the person has made up their mind and has decided to let go. The final line, "The curtain falls," could either be a metaphorical or literal reference to death, the end of a relationship, or some significant event that marks the end of something.
