If you were to translate the song into sensible meanings of words, you would most likely get something similar to this... -In your creation heaven did decree- "When you were born, fate did determine." [Suggesting predestination?] -That in your arms sweet death should dwell- "That your embraced death should inhabit (a)" [In relation to the first line, a feeling of being bound to die] -Deep Silent Complete- "Vast lonely ending." [Empty and a lonely death] -Black Velvet Sea- "Dark dismal sea." [Purgatory? Nothingness?] -The sirens are calling for me- "A danger is approaching me." [Now is my time of dying?] -Saved my soul thinking "This song's a lie"- "Saved myself, refusing to believe this song." [Finding hope of afterlife? May be tied to religious beliefs.] -Sand on the shore is so dry- "People in the world have withered away." [Description of humanity that is corrupt or sullen.] -Brave day sinking in endless night- "Courageous life ending into an abyss" [reiteration of hopeless against fate] -The age will say "This poet lies"- "The century would say this poet deceives" [Ignorance of truth. Deceiving them from their "truth"] -Heaven never touched earthly face- "Heaven never contacted our home" [In both a physical and religious sense, Heaven is not for us/earth] -The age say "This night was ours"- "This century now says this abyss is ours" [Perhaps the new age is understanding of their fate, and embraces it] -Blessed with the deep, the silent, the complete- "Gifted with this profound, undisturbed, and (made) whole (fate)" [The belief that this ending is a gift to us, as we finally rest] I do think this song is about the absence of an afterlife, and the thought of ending causes pain and grief so people try to refuse it, but in the end it is a gift that we should embrace as it makes us complete and whole, as we finally rest. |
