A Seaside Seranade Lyrics
I wander lost and lonely by the shoreline of the sea
I think about the way I wanted life to be
The seaside leads me on to the sound of sweeping waves
My heart gets filled with sorrow and grief along the way
There is no hope still left in my eyes
There is no light still left in my life
It has all faded into the night
So many darkened memories still haunt me from the past
I think about all the loved ones I have lost
I know the spring will come with soothing rain some day
But only to be followed by the winters devastating pain
There is no hope still left in my eyes
There is no light still left in my life
It has all faded into the night
I see you wander lost and lonely by the shoreline of the sea
There's no light, there's no dreams, only night
And the streams of tears down your cheeks
There's a wind from the past and at last it brought you to your knees
There's no hope, there's no glee, there's no life
Left for thee who wanders by the sea
There is no hope still left in my eyes
There is no light still left in my life
It has all faded into the night

I think about the way I wanted life to be
The seaside leads me on to the sound of sweeping waves
My heart gets filled with sorrow and grief along the way
There is no light still left in my life
It has all faded into the night
I think about all the loved ones I have lost
I know the spring will come with soothing rain some day
But only to be followed by the winters devastating pain
There is no light still left in my life
It has all faded into the night
There's no light, there's no dreams, only night
And the streams of tears down your cheeks
There's a wind from the past and at last it brought you to your knees
There's no hope, there's no glee, there's no life
Left for thee who wanders by the sea
There is no light still left in my life
It has all faded into the night

Very straightforward. Someone is grieving over loved ones he has lost and how he see's no light from all of his grievances
"I wander lost and lonely by the shoreline of the sea I think about the way I wanted life to be The seaside leads me on to the sound of sweeping waves My heart gets filled with sorrow and grief along the way"
"So many darkened memories still haunt me from the past I think about all the loved ones I have lost I know the spring will come with soothing rain some day But only to be followed by the winters devastating pain" -They're not sure there is much point to go on living if everything good comes to an end, and they just can't take anymore.
"I see you wander lost and lonely by the shoreline of the sea There's no light, there's no dreams, only night And the streams of tears down your cheeks There's a wind from the past and at last it brought you to your knees There's no hope, there's no glee, there's no life Left for thee who wanders by the sea" -This is a bridge in the song that signifies the person has submerged into the ocean and begins to drown. When the narration turns to the 2nd person, (this sung in a growl by a male guitarist) it seems this is a dark creature, perhaps death itself, agreeing with the person and reminding them there is no turning back and no reason to hold regrets now.
My take on the whole song, vocalist, Ailyn, just sorta sung the lyrics without really emoting much to convey the darker meaning. She has a ethereal voice but with this one it seemed she was just going through the motions instead putting emphasis into what the song was about. The growls of Morten Veland were the only redeeming part that put much needed disparity into the song, but it's too little, too late. The melody is beautiful.
