The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Anguish & Fear" by the artist "Yngwie Malmsteen"

Contents

The lyrics of Yngwie Malmsteen's "Anguish & Fear" depict a profound existential crisis experienced by the lyrical hero and his longing for change.

Encountering a ghost whose soul has departed its body, the hero receives a warning about the danger that awaits him if he continues on his current path. This encounter becomes a turning point. "The iron tear" he is trying to find is a metaphor for his own soul, hardened by trials, but still seeking peace.

The recurring phrase "Anguish and fear wander in my soul" conveys the weight of the hero's experiences, his inner struggle. He realizes the need for change, as evidenced by the lines: "No, I will no longer do all that I have done, / I will live close to nature, the moon, and the sun." The hero seeks refuge in unity with nature, in the simplicity and naturalness of being, striving to break free from the shackles of the past and find his own path.

The image of "soldiers of fortune" who "searched everywhere, / To realize they are forgotten, to settle down and die" emphasizes the tragedy of a meaningless existence, devoid of purpose and harmony. The hero does not want to repeat their fate; he yearns to find peace of mind and meaning in life.

No more will I do all the things that I've done

I'll live by the nature of moon and the sun

I've talked to a stranger whose soul'd gone away

He warned me 'bout danger

I'd been in if I stayed

Anguish and fear is roaming my mind

She'd an iron tear, I'm trying to find

His soul had wandered through years of despair

Eyes without expression told to beware

For soldiers of fortune have searched low and high

To find they're forgotten to rest and to die

Anguish and fear is roaming my mind

She'd an iron tear, I'm trying to find

No more will I do all the things that I've done

I'll live by the nature of moon and the sun

I've talked to a stranger whose soul'd gone away

He warned me 'bout danger

I'd been in if I stayed

[2x:]

Anguish and fear is roaming my mind

She'd an iron tear, I'm trying to find
