| Sonata Arctica – Fly With The Black Swan Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The first time I heard this song it confused me, some parts of it sound almost vampiric ("steal a soul from to buy more time", "to pass on the gift I once received", "It'll hurt like hell and leave you sore", "my lost soul"). I can't help but think the narrator knows very well the man in the pub and even has feelings for him ("you see, I'm ready to do it for everyone", "I know you will sell your soul", "I was in love to someone like you" "But I've given the last ride for all those close to kin"), though was forgotten by him after dying on said avalanche ("Engaged to be whole, got torn out of your memories, covered in snow..."). In fact the start of the song seems to be the narrator explaining his/her unexpected reapparition after years or even decades of being dead. It also seems the black swan also grants the heart's desire in exchange for one's soul (in the case of the Narrator it was surviving to see his/her loved ones again, in the case of the victim, becoming a rich man). However that's just my interpretation, since I don't know too much about Cygnus' mythology and I haven't found anything about it yet. Can anyone please elaborate on it?. |
