Fall Eternal
Embracing the Knight's Solitude: Reflections on Pain and Redemption
Lyrics
We're a long way from the pain
We have distanced ourselves from past pain.
The one that called my name
A reference to a past experience that had a significant impact on the speaker.
And I can see the shame of letting go
The regret and shame associated with letting go of something important.
The light has turned to grey
The brightness has faded, and things are now in a state of uncertainty.
And some days I can't save
Some days the speaker feels powerless to rescue or protect.
The villain I became has taken hold
The speaker acknowledges becoming a villain and being controlled by negative forces.
Bare my soul and burn my name
A willingness to be vulnerable and face consequences.
I've been living like a tidal wave
Living a life with intense and overwhelming emotions.
I crash and fall and never find the hope
Experiencing constant ups and downs without finding hope.
Eternal below
A reference to a persistent and enduring despair.
Now I'm crawling from the open grave, disposable
Emerging from a situation that felt like a grave, feeling disposable.
Another life unknown
An existence with aspects unknown or hidden from others.
I'm the knight who falls alone
The speaker identifies as a lone figure facing challenges.
Living hell inside the blade
An internal struggle or torment represented as a living hell.
It shines and takes it prey
The destructive nature of a metaphorical blade, causing pain.
And all that's left is pain I can't explain
The aftermath of pain that is difficult to articulate.
I confess I hate the rain
A dislike for rainy days, possibly associated with negative emotions.
It falls and steals the day
Rain symbolically stealing joy and positivity from the speaker's life.
From under my disdain that's still haunting me
Past regrets continue to haunt and affect the speaker.
Bare my soul and burn my name
Reiteration of a willingness to be vulnerable despite potential consequences.
I've been living like a tidal wave
Continuation of the turbulent and overwhelming emotional experience.
I crash and fall and never find the hope
Struggling with constant challenges without finding hope.
Eternal below
Reference to a persistent and enduring despair, echoing line #11.
Now I'm crawling from the open grave, disposable
Emerging from a challenging situation, feeling disposable.
Another life unknown
Living a life with aspects unknown or hidden from others.
I'm the knight who falls alone
The speaker identifies as a lone figure facing challenges, echoing line #14.
It's far too late for hiding
It's too late to avoid facing the consequences of negative actions.
The villain I'm becoming
A recognition of the speaker's transformation into a negative force.
I've been living like a tidal wave
Continuation of the turbulent and overwhelming emotional experience.
I crash and fall and never find the hope
Struggling with constant challenges without finding hope.
Eternal below
Reference to a persistent and enduring despair, echoing line #11.
Now I'm crawling from the open grave, disposable
Emerging from a challenging situation, feeling disposable.
Another life unknown
Living a life with aspects unknown or hidden from others.
Praise the knight who falls alone
Praising the strength of the lone figure facing challenges, echoing lines #14 and #30.
The knight who falls alone
Reiteration of praising the strength of the lone figure facing challenges.
Praise the knight who falls alone
Final praise for the strength of the lone figure facing challenges.
