Black rose immortal!

[Staffan]

In the name of desperation
I call your name
A lamentation I sigh
Again and again

Spiritual eclipse
The gateways are closed for me to seek

The night...
A veil of stars, watching
My shadow is born from light
The light of the eye, in darkness

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper

I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust

Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun

Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows gild the archways

Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my loneliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious

Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd

I have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hidden inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
Black rose immortal

It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan as if they knew
At night I always dream of you

That's some great lyrics!

[Staffan]

Listen to the song, read the lyrics meanwhile dream yourself away... Better than weed IMO

 

[illbeleavinnow]

I wouldn't know.

But I will read the lyrics and dream myself away.

 

[Useful Idiot]

The lyrics aren't THAT good...but they're nice, I suppose.

 

[illbeleavinnow]

I love it when he says "Lullaby of the crescent moon". That's one of the best.

 

[Disengager CKY]

I like:

This thread is the greatest and the worst at the same time.

 

[SculptedCold]

but in the lyrics there are some things that just doesnt make any sence... like just random words would be thrown on the paper. For example "I wear a naked soul" ... explain me how can you wear something naked?

Only if you explain to me why you're trying to take poetic lyrics literally...


Cummon guys

'I wear a naked soul.'

Souls; they're regarded as the deepest centre of us right? Everything we are, including all our dark secrets and things that we keep to ourself. In other words, we guard our souls; they are and protect our secrets. In a sense (partially personified), they are clothed.

Now, a naked soul implies that his soul itself is weakened, lacking resolve, unable to hide his secrets or his weaknesses. His soul itself is unclothed because of its weakness.

He wears it; IE, not only is his soul inherently vulnerable, but something has happened to make him 'wear' it outside himself, thereby reiterating the weakness or exposure of himself/his soul.

There is an interesting double play with his soul being 'naked' in a negative direction and him wearing it in the positive. It implies a defensive posture; he wears his soul openly because it's all he has left, but it's all to no effect because his soul is naked itself. So his soul is naked and he is naked within and without.
