When the Darkness Comes
Embracing Shadows: Navigating Despair in Apostle Of Solitude's Melody
Lyrics
Darkness comes in the blink of an eye
Darkness symbolizes challenges or difficulties that arise suddenly and unexpectedly.
But will you hide yourself
Pondering whether one will face these challenges or try to avoid them.
The skipping of years
Reflection on the passing of time, acknowledging the impact of years.
And the falling of tears
Recognition of emotional pain and sorrow, represented by tears.
Leaves you blind
The cumulative effect of challenges can lead to a state of blindness or confusion.
And now there are no worlds in which the sun will rise
Describing a bleak reality where positive possibilities seem nonexistent.
And now there is no way we survive
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and the potential for collective failure.
On and on the cancer it grows
Highlighting the persistent and destructive nature of a metaphorical "cancer" or problem.
With no hope in sight
Emphasizing the absence of optimism or positive expectations.
The ground that is shifting
Describing a volatile and unstable situation or environment.
The gears that are slipping inside
Internal mechanisms or plans are failing, contributing to the overall challenges.
Let the darkness come
Acceptance or acknowledgment of the impending darkness or difficulties.
One obol to ride the river cross
Symbolic reference to paying a toll to cross a river, possibly representing a difficult transition.
From thence you may descend
Suggesting a journey beyond, with an option to descend into a different state or condition.
For those who fail to pay the cost
Warning that failure to meet certain requirements may lead to an unfulfilled journey.
May never reach the end
Stressing the potential consequence of not paying the required cost for the journey.
And now there are no worlds in which the sun will rise
Reiteration of the absence of positive outcomes or opportunities.
And now there is no way we survive
Reemphasizing the bleak outlook and the perceived impossibility of survival.
