Ariel Lyrics
My name is Ariel
And I want to be free
It is your sorrow
That has made a slave of me
Forgive me
Forgive me
But you are all I know
Forgive me for leaving
The day is breaking now
It's time to go away
I'm so afraid to leave
But more afraid to stay
Forgive me
For leaving
The sadness in your eyes
Forgive me
Let the wind and ocean water
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand footsteps
Wash us all away
Like sand
The sky has fallen
Now the earth is dry and torn
I know you're tired
From the violence of the storm
I love you
I love you
But you are all I know
Forgive me
Let the wind and ocean water
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand footsteps
Wash us all away
Let the wind and ocean water
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand memories
Wash us all away
Like sand
My name is Ariel
And I want to be free
It is your sorrow
That has made a slave of me
Forgive me
Forgive me
But you are all I know
Forgive me for leaving
It's time to go away
I'm so afraid to leave
But more afraid to stay
Forgive me
For leaving
The sadness in your eyes
Forgive me
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand footsteps
Wash us all away
Like sand
Now the earth is dry and torn
I know you're tired
From the violence of the storm
I love you
I love you
But you are all I know
Forgive me
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand footsteps
Wash us all away
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand memories
Wash us all away
Like sand

smacks self in head It's from The Tempest. I can't believe this haunting song has been a small but significant of my life for so long without my making the connection, because OF COURSE Shakespeare is the kind of guy who's going to find his way to front and center of the lyrics of a band like this. So yeah, in case you were similarly afflicted: Ariel. Troubled enslaved spirit. Prospero and stuff.
October Project's vocals convey a lot more meaning than a reading of the lyrics reveal. Maybe there are not a lot of comments on their songs because the meanings are expressed so directly when read but hopefully you get the opportunity to hear them sung as that's where their talents lay.
This song is actually about a character from Shakespeare's "The Tempest,"

@guisar Because their music is so ethereal ... even at its most earthy, there is that sense of loss, longing, regret. This is why it feels like speaking to a a ghost lover.
