| Katatonia – Serac Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think this song has to do with the narrator trying to understand another person. The narrator is breaking up because of the other person cheating and they are trying to figure out the other person. The narrator is lost because they didn't know the other person they are talking about could do such a thing to them intentionally. The line "steel made wall, see the barrier stand tall" kind of describes what goes on when you mentally block someone or something. It's coming from the perspective of the narrator, but I think the message here is they are trying to open up with the other person. The other person is not having it and puts up their wall. Sure enough the next line "ascend through the air to find a heart yet undefined" describes the feeling perfectly, the other person can't make up their mind about the relationship. It seems logical that the person the narrator is referring to ended up not making up their mind and sitting in the gray area. The name of the song "Serac" fits as it's defined as the pinnacle of ice on a glacier literally, but in this case it can be used to describe the thin layer that their relationship is on. Serac pretty much means thin ice. |
