This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
In decadence I take thee by the hand
Too frail, to gain the promised land
Too frail, to take your pain away
Too frail, a sequel of decay
May millenniums gather
On the mirage of desolated souls
Far between departure and sorrow
I breed my afterthought
In thy hours of vast dejection's haunt, wane
An angel strays upon my door
So frail and lost within
To weep upon her days of yore
My decadent come in
Her stain and tears upon my floor
The sorrow that she brings
Devotion of a life outworn
In decadence come in
May thy lids desorb
From emerald seas
A pending solitary
Though thy pain redeems,
Life it seems to be
A fragile sanctuary
Too frail, to gain the promised land
Too frail, to take your pain away
Too frail, a sequel of decay
May millenniums gather
On the mirage of desolated souls
Far between departure and sorrow
I breed my afterthought
In thy hours of vast dejection's haunt, wane
An angel strays upon my door
So frail and lost within
To weep upon her days of yore
My decadent come in
Her stain and tears upon my floor
The sorrow that she brings
Devotion of a life outworn
In decadence come in
May thy lids desorb
From emerald seas
A pending solitary
Though thy pain redeems,
Life it seems to be
A fragile sanctuary

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
I believe the words at the beginning of this song to be:
Checkered by the dawn, enslaved in life enthralling Swept up by the mortal waste of my enslaved emotion Aeons on the gloss in argentine pending Concuria stopping and prevail the conquering angina Concuria stopping and prevail the conquering...
That is very good, did you work that out by listening to it? Well done!
I took other a few people's intepretations from the Tristania forum, merged them, then replaced some words with what sounded more accurate in my view.
yup this song is beautiful, it doesnt mean anything realistic. According to an interview with band this song is about worldy problems and how fragile life is.
This song is so beautiful it brings me to tears.
I know what you mean ;)

Can anyone figure out the latin lyrics for this song?
This song is simply beautiful!I'm not really into all this gothic,or gothic doom music,but this band is just incredible.When I first saw their picture I tought Vibeke was Tarja Turunen,so I tought''what the hell?!''Even their voices are similar.But Vibeke is beter than Tarja,much better!
I love this song SOOOOOOO much!! It's probably THE most beautiful song I ever heard!! I miss Vibeke.
Oh yeah, I forgot. The song to me was about a woman who had seen a lot of sorrow and her life. She's become so hopeless and she feels that she can never see happiness and experience joy.
Did I mention how much I love this song?! I can't help it! It's like my most favorite song ever!!! I'd seriously marry someone immediately if they sang that song to me!!
I always thought this song was something to do with the beyond the veil concept but i don't really understand it.
