| I don't think Mikael can still belt out that ending scream now. I think he couldn't master this beautiful octave needed for this song. | |
| Draconian – The Morningstar Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is about the struggle of Lucifer and God and how, like Surt in Norse Mythology that licks the different planes in flames, the Devil takes over heaven and kills God: "So deny God's light and His words spoken...We regain Heaven and crush His skull wide open!" When it means "The Tyrant" I think it means from the perspective of Satan in terms of his nemesis God. "I've cried a river for you to swim to let you know the state we're in. I've dreamt a vision for you to see He's dreamt a vision for us to see, that the night is the only worthy key that night is the worthy key... Also I think the angels in this, while are servants of God, they see the actions of what's about to happen. "I've cried a river for you to swim, to let you know the state we're in. I've sent a message throughout the stars, He's sent a message throughout the stars, for His kingdom is full of scars. God's kingdom is full of scars. (and the sound of silent cries is heard throughout the skies)" ^^^This is the plea sent throughout the universe to make it apparent to anyone listening that God is truly dead and the cosmos is beyond help or retribution. So the only thing left for the angels to do is cry and reflect on what God was. |

| Tiamat – Heaven Of High Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This beautiful song is about the world being an empty shell where the only thing to do is escape and worship the only thing with meaning...getting high. The releasing of our inner consciousness is tapped when we leave the deserted, lonely world behind and find ourselves in another world. I can definitely relate to this song. I find the sober world to be a series of disappointments some visible and some hiding behind every choice made or in the future to be made. So escaping from this pitiful excuse for Leibniz's assertion of it being "the best of all possible worlds" is only rectified on the "Heaven of High". | |
| Paradise Lost – Disappear Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The song is about confronting the power of an abuser and making their terrible power to control the person 'disappear'. However as we heal, we are feeling the need to escape and return to the weakness of whom we were before. The "constant commotion" of our internal thoughts drives us to stop the healing process and escape from the pain. "You'll increase desire to wander and retire" which means that the person will use drugs or drink and then stop, but our feelings will remain leaving us nothing to do except to keep fleeing the pain until it all disappears. | |
| Summoning – Land of the Dead Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song captures an ethereal quality that is chilly and powerful. The interpretation I get from this song is that it's about the passage of time. Viewing beauty at the end of our days, the one moment of great clarity that makes us stand still, reflect, and take a deep breath in with glorious understanding about the world. In addition, it's also about the idea of treading where few have gone before. This song captures that special tone of being eerie freezing vocals and beautiful soaring chants with a resounding piano track. This song serenely captures the thought of beauty in ruins, such is our lives. | |
