Lyrics
Asleep
Expressing a state of slumber or inactivity.
Run silent the streams
Describing the quiet flow of rivers or emotions.
Fountains I reveled in not long before
Recalling past enjoyment in fountains, now lost.
Vanished the whisper of leaves
The soft sound of leaves has disappeared.
But shadows of solitude endure
Despite the absence, the remnants of isolation remain.
As limber as birds
Comparing flexibility to birds, possibly denoting freedom.
Seasons enlaced in their final dance
Depicting seasons intertwined in their final, concluding dance.
Glimmer the bridges I've burnt
Shining or faintly reflecting on past bridges that have been destroyed.
With ashes for me to embrace
Ashes from burnt bridges, symbolizing the consequences to be embraced.
For me to embrace
Reiterating the theme of embracing consequences.
To hold on to
Expressing the desire to cling to something.
Till twilight falls
Waiting until the period between day and night falls.
And I
Introducing the speaker's perspective.
I wander alone
Roaming or journeying alone.
Chained to my ravenous mortal soul
Feeling bound to an insatiable, consuming mortal soul.
The halls of the endless unknown
Referring to vast, unknown spaces or experiences.
Open up to swallow me whole
Imagining being engulfed or overwhelmed by the unknown.
Astray they unfold
Being lost or led astray in different directions.
Paths leading into the deepest dark
Paths leading into profound darkness.
I'll go till there's no more to go
Continuing the journey until there is nowhere else to go.
Bound to the cold in my heart
Feeling emotionally cold or distant.
It's creeping inside of my bones
Sensations of coldness penetrating deep within.
Untold desolation
Undisclosed and intense feelings of devastation.
What's there to hold dear anymore
Questioning the value of cherished things.
And tell me, what's worth
Pondering the worthiness of pursuits or commitments.
How cruel is the fate of mankind
Reflecting on the harshness of human destiny.
Deceitful the nostrum of time
Highlighting the deceptive nature of time's remedies.
How luring this aching of mine
Expressing the allure of a persistent inner pain.
Mine to abide till I die
Accepting and enduring personal suffering until death.
How cruel is the fate of mankind
Reiterating the harshness of human destiny.
How luring - this aching of mine
Repeating the captivating nature of inner pain.
It's creeping inside of my bones
Re-emphasizing the intrusion of emotional coldness.
Untold desolation
Reiteration of intense feelings of desolation.
What's there to hold dear anymore
Repeating the questioning of cherished elements.
And tell me, what's worth
Revisiting the contemplation of worthiness in life.
Bleeding for
Pondering the concept of sacrifice or suffering.
