I believe the song starts off by talking about the singer’s deceased lover, which presumably died a long time ago. They reminisce about the happiness and bliss they felt with them. Now they just long for the sweet release of death. The protagonist presumably fell into depression, lost the will to live. Death would set him free from the “night” (depression), and take them to a place without a name (an abstract of the afterlife). The sea of dreams could be interpreted as the fantasy they were living, trying to imagine what Life would be with their partner still around. The storm being over and the ruins left behind represent their acceptance of reality, where the depression they had has left them numb or even apathetic, tired. Same thing for the frozen eyes opening up; after a long time of being in that depression-fueled fantasy they’ve come to accept reality. Carnations in dreams are associated with impossible love, or just love in general. The carnation in their dreams has died. Guide me through all the dark could talk about depression again, or perhaps the loved one’s spirit guiding them through the dark tunnel that some believe people see as they die; guiding them into the light, the afterlife, the heavens. It’s unknown if the protagonist did end up dying, but we know that they long for death and presumably to be reunited with their loved one. |
