The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Beautiful Death" by the artist "Wintersun"

Contents

The song "Beautiful Death" by Finnish metal band Wintersun depicts the confrontation with the inevitability of death and the search for meaning in life in the face of its inevitable end.

The lyrical hero of the text faces death, experiencing horror and denial ("My face has paled before the cold eyes of death," "I wasn't ready for this because I don't agree to die"). He seeks salvation in the "window of dreams," hinting at an escape from reality into a world of fantasy.

The image of rain, dark clouds, and fading colors symbolize despair and hopelessness. Life is presented as a storm that destroys everything in its path, leaving behind only a "dark light" and "the fallen."

Despite the fear and pain, the hero finds solace in the idea that death is not the end, but a "new and strange page of life" is turned, the beginning of a new journey. The question "Tell me, what matters in life, if there is such a thing?" reflects a desperate search for meaning in the transience of existence.

The final lines "I want to be with you, And I will give you my heart before I go" speak of the hero's desire to share his last moments with someone close, to find peace, and accept the inevitable. Death in the context of the song is not the end, but a "just beautiful, beautiful death," part of an endless cycle.

My face turned pale before the cold eyes of death

My body was frozen by the stare from the dark

I don't want to think of anything, but there's storm of thoughts in my head

I wasn't prepared for this, 'cause I'm not ready to die

Nothing could have prepared me for this

(Only way out is through window of dreams)

Nothing but blood so red and deceased

Nothing but pain, I fall on my knees

Tormenting demons, I suffer and bleed

Only way out is through window of dreams

The rain whips the lonely and crushed soul

The dark clouds are closing fast,

The wind is blowing the colours of life away

The growing shadow will darken my dreams,

And with the fire inside me it feeds

I'll be screaming in the stars when it's over

Storms are raging on the path to home,

Once so silent and calm

The desperate glare of the dark light

Is cast on the fallen one

And when the illusions sigh no more,

The journey to new dream will carry on

'cause life is just a beautiful death

Life turns a new and strange page

They will try to take everything away from me

You'll never know the future

Save me from the rain

Tell me what matters in life, if anything

I'm struggling with sickness

They will try to take everything away from me

Are you trying to hide from the end

Save me from the rain

Save me from the end

'Cause life will always be withering away from us

I want to be alone with you

And I'll give my heart to you, before I go

'cause life is just a beautiful, beautiful death
