The meaning of the lyrics of the song "To New Lands... (Prelude)" by the artist "Windrider"

Contents

In the text "To New Lands... (Prelude)", author Windrider poetically conveys a sense of longing for the unknown and a thirst for adventure.

The poem opens with a picture of sunset, as the "blazing sun" sinks below the horizon. This imagery symbolizes the end of the familiar, the routine, leaving the lyrical hero on the threshold of the unknown. Seabirds calling to their "fiery God" represent a connection with nature and ancient forces, as if blessing a journey into the unknown.

The lyrical hero, standing on the shore and watching the sun disappear, experiences a sharp desire to follow it. The "dark blue threshold" becomes a metaphor for the boundary between the familiar and the unknown, beyond which the hero is beckoned by "adventure and danger." He dreams of traveling under the open sky, where the sun and moon will be his faithful companions.

The purpose of this journey is "new lands... vast lands, beyond golden shores and high mountains". In the final lines, the author paints a picture of a wondrous green country bathed in the light of a "swift sunrise", symbolizing hope, new possibilities, and the fulfillment of desires.

As the burning sun sails along the distant horizon

And disappears beneath the smouldering embers of the skyline,

To explore the vast unseen stretches of the world and leave us in darkness,

I hear the seabirds call in excitement for their fiery God,

To wish him well on his journey...

I stand on the shore and watch him fade away, sink beyond vision and mind

And my heart yearns to follow him

Over that dark blue threshold,

To cast off from these modest shores into a world of adventure and peril

And sail with the sun on my face and the moon at my back

To new lands... far reaching lands, beyond golden shores and high mountains

And beyond... a fair green country, under a swift sunrise...
