Erosion
Erosion of the Soul: A Haunting Journey into Desolation
Lyrics
Run; gasping as he breathes
Running, struggling to breathe
Air forms the noose that chokes as he pleads
The air is like a noose, suffocating as he pleads
Coward; stain of the earth
Described as a coward, a stain on the earth
Clamor in fear
Chaos and noise in fear
Mind racing knowing that no one will hold him dear
Mind racing, aware that no one will hold him dear
He wanders into the forest
He ventures into the forest
With only the owl and his will to find a way
Only accompanied by an owl and his determination to find a way
The snow erodes the life around him
The snow is gradually eroding life around him
And it's getting colder every day
The environment is becoming colder day by day
And I would search for you
Expressing a commitment to search for someone
Over and over again and again
Repeated determination to search repeatedly
As fear holds my senses
Fear is overpowering the senses
I'll walk the path to find it again
Despite fear, the resolve to walk the path and find what is lost
And I would search for you
Reiterating the commitment to search for someone
Over and over again and again
Continued determination to search repeatedly
Run; gasping as he breathes
Repetition of the initial scene of running and gasping
Abandons truth for his needs
Choosing personal needs over truth, abandoning principles
Hands bleed once again
Hands bleeding again, possibly from a self-inflicted wound
His blood runs cold against the frozen sands
His blood running cold against frozen sands
He wonders why he wears this crown of thorns
Questioning why he bears a metaphorical crown of thorns
Perhaps a prince of wrath he's been born
Suggesting he might be a prince of wrath by birth
The snow erodes the life around him
Reiteration of the snow eroding life around him
And it's getting colder every day
Continued description of the environment getting colder
And I would search for you
Reaffirming the commitment to search for someone
Over and over again and again
Repetition of the determination to search repeatedly
As fear holds my senses
Fear dominating the senses
I'll walk the path to find it again
Commitment to walk the path and find what is lost despite fear
And I would search for you
Reiterating the commitment to search for someone
Over and over again and again
Continued determination to search repeatedly
Falling forward
Describing a fall forward
His light erodes
His light, possibly hope or positivity, eroding
Dusk's venom in his veins
Dusk's venom, a metaphor for negativity, in his veins
He's been consumed
He has been consumed by something
Falling forward
Repeating the imagery of falling forward
His light erodes
His light continues to erode
Dusk's venom in his veins
Dusk's venom still present in his veins
He's been consumed
Emphasizing that he has been consumed by something
