| Amorphis – Amongst Stars Lyrics | 2 years ago |

What a magnificent song and atmosphere, Tomi's and Anneke's voices are perfect match together, too! ???? While Amorphis' lyrics are inspired by Finnish mythology and folklore, I think that this song is about the belief that one's soul could visit spirit realms while the body was sleeping, yet meanwhile "a cord of life" would tie and keep soul & body together, (because then the dreamer couldn't die anyhow). Story begins when one is falling asleep and then going to a dream worlds, visiting otherworldly dreamscapes beyond stars. So I think the soul is "following the thread of gold" and "path of stars" to these other worlds, wanting also enjoy the present moment while the nightly adventure, not living in past ("don't stare up at the setting sun") or looking for future ("or the light of dawn"). There are really beautiful sceneries in those worlds, but there might be also some kind of dangers (maybe kind of negative spirits?) dressed in beauty, if one isn't aware enough to notice what's really behind them ("blooming meadows seduce and intoxicate with a deceiving scents"). That's my interpretation of this great song, it has become one of my favourites from Amorphis ???? |
