| Opeth – Isolation Years Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I don't think it is a blood stain. It seems like its only ink from the pen. This song is about a widow who left a note (maybe a suicide note, but I think its just a note she left before she died of natural causes). There is some kind of a mystery regarding her husband cause "she knew he was gone", which indicates she kinda figured out he died but didnt really "know". I guess the guy left her (going to war or whatnot) and never came back, leaving her isolated (alone) for all those years. It doesnt sound like suicide to me because she did live in isolation for quite some time. "The wound in me is pouring out to rest on a lover's shore". She can finally rest in peace and be freed of her grief. This is (one of) the sadest song I have ever heard. Awesome. |
