| Opeth – Demon Of The Fall Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I'm sure that this song in particular is about the ghost of a man trying to kill his ex-lover but he cannot do it. "In tears for all of eternity" "False love turned to pure hate" could also describe how the ghost finds his lover with another man and he becomes very angry, then merges with the gray. |

This song is hard to understand, but this is what I got from it. I think the song is about a man who died for what he believed in. His lover-inthe end-could not do the same. She couldn't die for what she believed in. I don't know why they're dying though. I do not believe that the main character has killed themself. In the second verse I think the words describe how the character will not be going to a happy place (heaven?) because their soul is painted with sin, the person feels the embers beneath their skin. When the character dies and is going to an unhappy place. He looks past the gates where the shadows of the dead are stalking the new members of the deceist and knows that he should've waited for his death to come in old age. The line "wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait" describes how the scenery is dead and lifeless and that this is what awaited the person who couldn't wait to be there. This is what I interpreted the lyrics as, others may disagree. Let me know what you think. |

I also believe that this song may be about a child serial killer. My interpretation: Verse1: The fireflies circling could be the souls or spirits of the dead that cannot leave this world. The lost souls that hide are the souls of the children that were buried in the woods. The men returning trying to find some peace of mind is the search party for the missing children. They still cannot find the children. Chorus: This could mean simply, sleep my child all will be fine. And then he'll kill her once he reaches the woods. Or this could mean sleep as in an eternal sleep, or simply Death. Verse2: The shadows moving under the fog could be the usual stir of animals and nightlife in the woods at night. The killer tells the child not to be afraid and take their hand. Or, this could describe the ghosts of children who were murdered previously which supports my interpretation of the second half of this verse. Into the dark there are eyelids closing. This could mean that the children's spirits do not want to witness what they had to go through themselves. They cannot do anything to protect the child, for they have already been buried in the sands (quick sand perhaps?) so they try to ignore the horrible scene. 2nd Chorus: This could mean the same as the first. Or this could mean that the killer is now doing the terrible act telling the kid to simply accept death. This supports my interpretation of the next verse. Verse3: Speak to me now and the world will crumble could mean that the killer will be reminded of previous children he/she has murdered and it could prevent them from finishing what they've started. If the child is freed or escapes the killer's world would crumble cause they would be recognized and hunted. Idk, but that's my thoughts on that line...? Open a door and the moon will fall could represent how if the child just accepts their death the moon will fall and sunshine and happiness will be back to greet them again, eternally? The ending is difficult for me. So, the killer tells them to go to their dreams and forget it all. Does this mean the child is killed, or set free cause the killer realizes how evil he/she is? |
