| This man was a genius, these lyrics are just something so next level. This is a love song, it's apocalyptic, it says very little directly but uses symbolism instead, it has radical political opinions, and while saying all of this it manages to make sense. | |

*Struggling to come up with a unique and outstanding interpretation* This song is about... solarium addiction! Washing the sins away, out of the dark, flying out of a storm etc. are metaphoras for better life, such as after an addiction. Why solarium? Because of how freguently light is mentioned in the song. Hardly as impressive as my theory of Through the Fire and Flames being about a gay revolution but it's something :/ |

| @[BlueBanana420:18208] The Japan part is questionable. Since the Sun goes around the Earth, there is no specific place where it rises. This'd mean there's no answer, just keep on living as who you think you aren't. | |

Ok, pretty straightforward. Cold dark winter night is just a general hard situation. Riding towards the fight means not giving up and keeping fighting. Then more about the hard situation. More fighting to change things for better. "The scattered souls will fill the hell". Something new, the fight has casualties. Flying means freedom, but "before the thunderstorm" means that it's not over, as the "quest carries on". So things get better for a while. It's like winning a single battle, but the war continues elsewhere. Far beyond -> the narrator died. Well, did he get into the Heaven? Feeling the lost pain etc. -> no. Hell. Bad luck, sorry :/ Red day and the lightnings mean a major battle is coming closer. So, there's some people still alive fighting. Resentment in their eyes, while raising their eyes at heaven. This is interesting. Heaven means government, so some byrocratical stuff got the narrator in trouble? Running back means the narrator got resurrected. Maybe the death was a metaphor for going into a jail? "We'll all be free tonight". Wait, you're all sentenced? Hmm, maybe the song is about fighting against a government that's discriminating against a group of people. Yeah, let's go with that. Later "lost within my own mind" is mentioned. So, mental illness. The government things being gay is a crime and a mental illness. "So far away" is mentioned ago. The fight mentioned earlier was lost, back into jail. "Now here we stand with their blood on our hands". The government was overthrown. Yay! |

I'll start from the "alone without himself". The question arises, how can one be without himself? "Himself" here must refer to something else, and this leads us to the beginning - the name. The name and "himself" refer to who the person thinks he is and who the person really is (the classical philosophical dilemma of whether we truly deep inside are who we think we are). This is what the person is doubting. Next the lyrics speak of the "war between him and the day". We can assume "him" doesn't refer to the person once again in some sense. What is the day? Day is connected to something good and light, and from light we get to the truth. So he is fighting to find out the truth of who he really is. The someone to blame is the one who baptized him with the false name. Society? Environment? No one knows. "You believe but what you see". You believe you are what you have seen yourself acting like. The next sentence is about psychological projection stuff: acting like something makes other people act similarly, and thus one person reaching their true self is stopping others from doing the same. "Caress the one / the never ending rain in your heart". Those two rows are the same sentence, you can see it's the only logical conclusion. They sound like two rows because of the rhythm of the music. Anyways, grammatically speaking the "one" can only refer to the sorrow (rain in heart -> sorrow would be obvious even without mentioning it just after this). The sorrow is the moral burden of not letting people be who they are by being yourself and not knowing who you are. The land of daybreak -> morning -> rising sun -> Japan. So, asian philosophies give you the answers you need. Amaranth -> eternity -> reincarnation. Hiding it -> you must work and fight to find these truths. Wandering path -> life. Brief flied up time -> life's shortness and meaninglessness, which is why finding the truth is so important. |
