I think this is about a mother's love and him remembering his childhood and wondering if his mother remembers all this love he had for her. Tangerine probably being a fruit his mother used to gave him while he was a small child, which brings him back these thousands years. |

| Opeth – Sorceress Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
I think they are talking about themselves. Or at least Mikael is. "I'm a sinner and I worship evil" It's them. They are talking about following the most profitable way to succeed in the music industry. Making songs that "hit" the ear. (Sorceress vs Deliverance) "Blood is thinner, but you will never know." We are more alike than you think. "Can you confess that you thrive in chaos" He's talking to us. Living in this world, listening to their music, where music industry is shit. "You're a sorceress and your eye is on the lost." We are the ones making real magic. And we are looking at them, who are "lost" for following the rules. "But you're dying. It's in your eyes." We are lost too. Because we are settling for what is "easier" for the ear and the brain. "You're a charlatan. You get everything you want." Our generations, settling for what's out there, whatever it is. "You're a harlot, carry poison in your kiss." Very clear sentence. We are enacting what we want, without this being what we want. "Beg forgiveness, with a dagger in your hand." Take charge of your decisions. "Sow your death seed and reap the dying lands." Reap what you have sown (so far). "But you're crying. It's in your eyes." We don't like what we live. "Empty vessel, drained of hope." We already gave up. "And none the lesser at the end of a rope." Even at the end of the rope. "Have you ever hated it like I?" They feel it. Which of us do? "Know I still awaited the absence of lies." They believe in a better world (but today they fall) "Watch your eager tongue. Attack me from behind." We judge them (really?). "Riddle whispers, bleak futile control." In the end, all this song is to tell us that they control us. "Like a twin sister adapting to a role." Following the "standard". "You're a murderer, bloodlust increase." We keep going with this modus operandi. "You're a harvester, come close to spread disease." We continue consuming, and spreading the example at the same time. "And you're hiding. I hear you cry." Some know, but still lower their voices and complain in the shades. |
