The Black Rainbow
Dancing in Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Journey of 'The Black Rainbow'
Lyrics
His eyes
Reference to someone's eyes
In a coffin
Symbolic description of confinement or death
Through chasms, black and burned
Passing through dark and scorched gaps or spaces
Like wolves
Comparing the gathering to wolves; possibly hinting at a primal or fierce nature
We gather frozen rust
Collecting in a desolate and frozen environment
Down so long it looks like up
Feeling disoriented, where the downward seems like upward
The only path is lit with blood
Indicating a challenging or violent journey illuminated by blood
You cover me in solitude
Being enveloped in loneliness
You’d rather die on your feet
Choosing to face challenges bravely rather than surrendering
Than to be set free
Preferably facing difficulties than accepting freedom
A new delay in our retreat
Introducing a new obstacle in the withdrawal or departure
We dance away
Engaging in a dance, possibly metaphorical or symbolic
In shades of grey
Dancing in a state of uncertainty or ambiguity
The veil on your eyes
A cover or disguise on the eyes preventing prayer
Won’t let you prey
The veil obstructing the act of praying
Hear the rain come pouring down
Listening to the sound of rain falling
As the black rainbow drowns ourselves to sleep
The descent into a dark and destructive state, possibly representing despair
It’s much too deep
Expressing a sense of depth or hopelessness
Don’t look now
Advising against looking at the current situation
Refuse the vows
Rejecting promises or commitments
Thy flesh
Referring to one's flesh or physical being
Consumed
Consumption or destruction of the physical self
Through depths, black and dethroned
Moving through dark and dethroned depths
Deep scars
Signs of profound wounds or injuries
From both hands
Scars inflicted by both hands, possibly indicating self-inflicted harm
What if god can’t meet us on both ends?
Raising the question of whether a higher power is present in times of struggle
The only path is lit with blood
Similar to line 8, emphasizing a path illuminated by blood
You cover me in solitude
Being surrounded by isolation and loneliness
You’d rather die on your feet
Preferably facing challenges bravely than accepting freedom (similar to line 10)
Than to be set free
Preferably facing difficulties than accepting freedom (similar to line 11)
A new delay in retreat
Introducing a new obstacle in the withdrawal or departure (similar to line 12)
We dance away
Engaging in a dance, possibly metaphorical or symbolic (similar to line 14)
In shades of grey
Dancing in a state of uncertainty or ambiguity (similar to line 15)
The veil on your eyes
A cover or disguise on the eyes preventing prayer (similar to line 16)
Won’t let me prey
The veil obstructing the act of praying (similar to line 17)
