Semper Eadem Lyrics

WHERE DID THIS SADNESS COME FROM ?
RISING LIKE THE SEA OVER BLACK ROCKS
HARVEST TIME FOR OUR HEARTS IS DONE
LIVING BECOMES EVIL

THIS SECRET IS KNOWN TO ALL WHO ARE AWARE
THIS SIMPLE SORROW, THIS PAIN NOT STRANGE
EXPLODES NOW LIKE YOUR JOY, WITH A CLEAR RUSH
CEASE YOUR SEARCHING AT THIS TIME

SOUL ALWAYS STOLEN
HEART ALWAYS CRIPPLED
BUT DEATH TIES US TO ITS WISHES
LET MY HEART (BECOME-GET) DRUNK ON A LIE
AND PLUNGE AS IN A DREAM INTO YOUR EYES
AND DOZE FOR A WHILE IN YOUR LASHES

THIS SECRET IS KNOWN TO ALL WHO ARE AWARE
THIS SIMPLE SORROW, THIS PAIN NOT STRANGE
EXPLODES NOW LIKE YOUR JOY, WITH A CLEAR RUSH
CEASE YOUR SEARCHING AT THIS TIME

Charles Baudelaire (Semper Eadem)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sorry for the all-caps.. I copied this straight from the bands site, too lazy to write it in small font.

The song is loaded with much meaning.

Though it is something of a cliché to say "love is a lie", I don't think I've ever seen it phrased as well as here: Pain is not strange, The simple sorrow is the usual mode of feeling, and what love has to offer is just a short, momentarily escape and intoxication. But "Cease your searching at this time"; you should stop trying to see the truth in everything. Give up to the false joys, live the unrealistical dream, may it lead to bankrupty, love, or sickness of the liver. At least you've lived
