The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Dagon" the performer of the song "The King and the Jester"

In the chronicle of mine

There's a final chapter's line.

To my sorrow I must say,

Words break down and fade away.

Over the last passing year

From the fisherman's villages here

All the people disappeared

That same fog, which day by day...

From the sea approached the land,

Deep into the mainland

I was the witness at hand,

As the shores were emptied then.

The world was changing in plain sight,

Call of the elements with fearsome might

Planted primal fear in hearts' delight.

Dagon's very son himself

From the depths, a scary elf,

Came, a sign of ill fate's might.

Every day in people's minds

Evil grew, no peace it finds.

Diary entry:

"My mind is slipping away...

Once again inside my head

There's a strange and growing dread.

But today I start to see

What these sounds are telling me...

It's a call from far beyond,

I can't resist it on my own.

Storm is raging on outside

And my eyes begin to slide

Out of their sockets, filled with fright,

My reflection is a dreadful sight!

The world was changing in plain sight,

Call of the elements with fearsome might

Planted primal fear in hearts' delight.

Dagon's very son himself

From the depths, a scary elf,

Came, a sign of ill fate's might.

All were making their own way

To the sea, by night and day.

Someone crawled toward the tide,

Ancient pier, weathered and tried,

Was in his destiny enshrined,

Like the start of everything.

Dragging close, with weakening,

His wet notebook, lettering.

Then he dove in, in the spray,

Vanished under watery sway,

Crashing waves obscured his way,

Taking him with them away.

The world was changing in plain sight,

Call of the elements with fearsome might

Planted primal fear in hearts' delight.

Dagon's very son himself

From the depths, a scary elf,

Came, a sign of ill fate's might.

Of a new race, youthful, bold,

A new species was extolled.

В хронике моей

Есть последняя глава.

К сожаленью в ней

Обрываются слова.

За последний год

Из рыбацких деревень

Сгинул весь народ

Тот туман, что каждый день...

С моря заходил

Вглубь материка,

Я свидетель был,

Как пустели берега.

Мир менялся на глазах

Зов стихий в людских сердцах

Посеял первобытный страх.

Самого Дагона сын

Из морских пришёл глубин,

То был судьбы недобрый знак.

Каждый день в умах росло

Необузданное зло.

Запись в дневнике:

- «Я опять теряю ум...

Снова в голове

Появился странный шум.

Но сегодня я

Начал звуки различать...

Это чей - то зов,

Мне пред ним не устоять.

За окном гроза

А мои глаза

Лезут из орбит,

Страшен в зеркале мой вид!

Мир менялся на глазах

Зов стихий в людских сердцах

Посеял первобытный страх.

Самого Дагона сын

Из морских пришёл глубин,

То был судьбы недобрый знак.

Все прокладывали путь

К морю сквозь иную суть.

Кто-то полз к воде

Ветхий старенький причал

Был в его судьбе,

Как начало всех начал.

За собой тащилСвою мокрую тетрадь;

Из последних сил,

Что-то пробовал писать.

А затем, нырнув,

Скрылся под водой,

Зашумел прибой,

Унося его с собой.

Мир менялся на глазах

Зов стихий в людских сердцах

Посеял первобытный страх.

Самого Дагона сын

Из морских пришёл глубин,

То был судьбы недобрый знак.

Новой расы молодой

Вид родился под водой.

The song "Dagon" by the band "Korol i Shut" (King and Jester) tells a story about mysterious events in fishing villages, where people start disappearing without a trace. The lyrical hero, the author of the chronicle, witnesses frightening changes happening both in the world around him and within himself.

The fog coming in from the sea symbolizes an ominous force enveloping everything. The disappearance of people, the deserted shores – all of this points to the interference of something supernatural and terrifying in its unknown nature.

The appearance of Dagon, a sea deity from the works of H.P. Lovecraft, explains the events. The "call of the elements" and "primal fear" indicate the awakening of ancient, powerful forces beyond human comprehension.

The hero feels the influence of Dagon, he is losing his mind, hearing a call that draws him to the sea. The description of his transformation ("eyes popping out of their sockets") creates an image of a man gripped by madness and terror in the face of the inevitable.

The final scene with the drowning man who stubbornly tries to write in his notebook emphasizes the tragedy of the situation. People, driven by the call of Dagon, are doomed to perish in the depths of the sea, where they will meet a new, unknown form of life.
