Lyrics
Theres a treacherous valley
Describing a dangerous valley
that runs deep in my sleep
Referencing a troubling aspect in the speaker's dreams
A devilish gorge
Depicting a wicked gorge
that lures me down
Indicating a temptation pulling the speaker down
from my horse
Transitioning from a horse to feet, possibly symbolizing vulnerability
to my feet
Continuing the theme of vulnerability and descent
(There's) silent death in the air
Noting a sense of silent danger in the atmosphere
stars watching forever above
Referencing eternal observation by stars
ancient pine trees burning below
Describing burning ancient pine trees below
As I stumble barefoot down the hill
Narrating stumbling down a hill barefoot
I fall and float
Experiencing a sensation of falling and floating
In what seems like forever
Expressing a feeling of prolonged time
Theres a treacherous valley
Repeating the description of a treacherous valley
that runs deep in my sleep
Reiterating the deep presence of the valley in sleep
A devilish gorge
Reiterating the existence of a devilish gorge
that lures me down
Repeating the idea of being lured down
from my horse
Repeating the descent from a horse to feet
to my feet
Reiterating the vulnerability and descent theme
(And then) I levitate and see
Experiencing a levitation and perceiving a passage
The passage ahead
Observing a path leading to the Stygian river
Leading towards the stygian river
Describing the direction towards a dark river
The air turns cool
Noting a cooling sensation in the air
My head is cleared
Experiencing mental clarity
I'm breathing ghosts
Symbolizing the act of breathing ghosts, suggesting a surreal experience
Beyond the river
Describing darkness beyond the river
lies darkness
Highlighting towering mountains in the distance
And towering mountains
Emphasizing the presence of towering mountains
A lonely star sparkling
Noting a lonely star in the distance
in the distance above
Reiterating the existence of a shining city
A shining city
Describing a sparkling city
As I shake my hand
Expressing a physical action of shaking hands
And cross my heart
Symbolically crossing the heart, possibly suggesting a moment of sincerity or resolution
And hope
Expressing hope in the midst of uncertainty
My heart is still beating
Acknowledging the persistence of the speaker's heartbeat
I don't know how
Expressing confusion about the outcome
This will end
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the situation
Maybe, I will see the light upon me
Contemplating the possibility of seeing light
stay with me, never leave me (alone) again
Pleading for companionship and support
Then maybe, I will feel the dark below me
Contemplating the possibility of feeling darkness
Stay with me, never leave
Reiterating the plea for companionship and support
