| Immortal – In My Kingdom Cold Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
One way to look at the song is this: Song is about loneliness of those who sacrifice social life in pursuit of knowledge(as philosophers do). "my kingdom" as in my thoughts, life, existence isolated from others. "cold" - as in the saying "break the ice of conversation". this is it. Kingdom is cold because this lonely person can't talk to anyone because there is awkward ice, whenever he/she talks to people and they do not understand him/her. This is often true for philosophers and other intelligent people when they face people. "world made for me" - basically with every action and decision, he/she took the dark path of philosophy pursuing knowledge, thus failing to achieve happiness. Basically the converse of the "ignorance is bliss" saying. "mountains of madness" - the source of his/her unhappiness is in the way they think. He/she does what is in accordance to reason, but doesn't reach the goal of happiness and connection with others. He/she thus recognizes that this behavior is "irrational" and mad. But he/she isn't able to abandon the path of knowledge, it is his/her kingdom. |
