The Mind Maelstrom Lyrics

The guitar work and choir really make this song.

As for the meaning, my interpretation is that there is a "Mind Maelstrom" - a whirling storm, if you will, within your head, possibly mental illness and/or confusion. Due to this, the person enters 'darkness' - depression takes over and the will to life is lost.

This sort of concept is popular in many of Sirenia's songs.

I agree with you Night Sanctuary. I think this song is about how we lose sight of what life can bring out at us. In the lyrics when the guy screams and grunts and he says, "There are seven doors within my dreams, I've found them all, but still no key." I think he means I know my life can be hard to understand, I understand it but I don't know what I should do with the comprehension.
