The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Sleepy Hollow (The Valley of the Dead Birds)" by the artist "WitchcrafT"

Contents

The song "Sleepy Hollow (The Valley of the Dead Birds)" by WitchcrafT depicts a protagonist trapped between life and death, stranded in a nameless, bleak location reminiscent of the Sleepy Hollow valley.

He addresses an unnamed entity, possibly death or his reflection, seeing in its eyes "visions of the dead" and an absence of any emotion. The protagonist acknowledges his mistake of losing the fear of death, now facing the emptiness of his existence. He recognizes that his sins, however small they seemed, have led him to this sorry end.

The repeating lines "Look into my eyes to see / That life is near, / All was void, / And one day you will die" emphasize the futility of life and the inevitability of death. The protagonist, looking into the eyes of death, sees a reflection of his own fate.

The imagery of the "frozen battlefield covered with dried blood" reinforces the atmosphere of despair and death. The protagonist feels caught in an eternal struggle he doesn't deserve to be a part of. The fog consuming his mind symbolizes confusion and loss of direction. The "evil inner animal" sleeping under his heart possibly represents the dark side of his soul that has led him to this state.

Into your dreadful eyes

I see the visions of the dead!

Into your lifeless eyes

I see no evil or regret!

I was lost between

Two nameless solemn worlds.

My bloody little sin

Became the worst!

I was wrong

To relief my fears.

Look into my eyes to see

That the life is near.

All was empty much

And one day you die.

I look into your eyes to see

My reflected light!

Your frozen field of bones

Is covered with the arid blood!

I know you don't deserve

To be in this eternal fight!

I was behind the mist

It floated over all my mind.

My spiteful inner beast

Sleeps under my heart!

I was wrong

To relief my fears.

Look into my eyes to see

That the life is near.

All was empty much

And one you die.

I look into your eyes to see

My reflected light!
