The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Sadness And Hate" by the artist "Wintersun"

This song "Sadness And Hate" by Finnish metal band Wintersun depicts a lyrical hero consumed by profound grief and despair over the loss of a loved one (addressed as "my star").

The hero wanders through the night, searching for solace and answers, but finding only emptiness and cold ("I followed a voice in the night, beautiful as the black sky, / But found nothing"). He feels lost and alone ("Lost I am among the somber flows, / Forever lost in my life"). The imagery of fading leaves, snow, weeping ghosts, and bloody moonlight creates an atmosphere of hopelessness and approaching death.

Despite the grief, the hero's heart holds not only sadness but also hate – perhaps directed at himself, at fate, or at the departed love. He is ready to give his life ("I give my life to the fading leaves, / To the bloody moonlight, / To the weeping shadows"), if only to be reunited with his beloved.

In the end, the hero vows eternal memory and loyalty, promising his departed love: "Wherever I may go, you will know it...".

Sad night, the weeper of starwind sky

Take me where the shimmering lights are fading out

Through the shadows of hate and through the fires of grace

I followed the voice in the night, beautiful as black sky,

But nothing I found

My thoughts are captured by the magical chants

Of the spirits, but I cannot see them with these dead eyes

Lost I am in these dismal streams

Lost I am forever in my life

The snow is falling on the withering leaves,

I am left in the cold

The shadows are crying in the moonlight

Is this night the last of my life

Have we arrived from our journey,

I must ask you now

At last I can cry, 'cause these sad words

Are calling me tonight

My eyes bleed for you my star,

My pride and the love of my heart

But why did you had to fly so far,

I raged and it tore me apart

I promise to you with sadness and hate

Wherever I might go, you will know...

You will know...

[x2]

Sad night, the weeper of starwind sky

Take me where the shimmering lights are fading out

Through the shadows of hate and through the fires of grace

I followed the voice in the night, beautiful as black sky,

But nothing I found

I give my life to the withering leaves

To the bleeding moonlight

To the crying shadows

The snow is falling on the withering leaves,

I am left in the cold

The shadows are crying in the moonlight

Is this night the last of my life

I give my life to the withering leaves

To the bleeding moonlight

To the crying shadows

I give my life to you
