All along I was searching for my Lenore
In the words of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
Now I'm sober and "Nevermore"
Will the Raven come to bother me at home
Calling you, calling you home
You, calling you, calling you home
By the door you said you had to go
Couldn't help me anymore
This I saw coming, long before
So I kept on staring out the window
Calling you, calling you home
You, calling you, calling you home
I am a natural entertainer, aren't we all
Holding pieces of dying ember
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Who can I call
Home, calling you, calling you
I run a secret propaganda
Aren't we all hiding pieces of broken anger
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Can I call
[Repeat: x2]
Born in a war of opposite attraction
It isn't, or is it a natural conception
Torn by the arms in the opposite directions
It isn't, or is it a Modernist reaction
Is it like this
Is it always the same
When a heartache begins, is it like this
Do you like this
Is it always the same
Will you come back again
Do you like this
Is it always the same
Will you come back again
Do you like this
Do you like this
Is it like this
Is it always the same
If you change your phone number, will you tell me
Is it like this
Is it always the same
When a heartache begins, is it like this
If you like this
Will you remember my name
Will you play it again, if you like this
In the words of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
Now I'm sober and "Nevermore"
Will the Raven come to bother me at home
Calling you, calling you home
You, calling you, calling you home
By the door you said you had to go
Couldn't help me anymore
This I saw coming, long before
So I kept on staring out the window
Calling you, calling you home
You, calling you, calling you home
I am a natural entertainer, aren't we all
Holding pieces of dying ember
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Who can I call
Home, calling you, calling you
I run a secret propaganda
Aren't we all hiding pieces of broken anger
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Can I call

Is it always the same

OKAY, so the beginning doesn't make much sense... but it gets a little easier to interpret later into the song.
"Born in a war of opposite attraction
It isn't, or is it a natural conception
Torn by the arms in opposite directions
It isn't, or is it a Modernist reaction"
The struggle of ideologies... Communism V Fascism.
"Is it like this
Is it always the same
When a heartache begins, is it like this...." (through the rest of the song)
Eerie taunting on Russia's behalf, shadowing Napoleon's invasion of 1812 through Prussia. Asking if defeat always feels the same, if the invaders want any more, if they'll keep in touch after running away . . .
Okay I don't have anything else to share. Truly a far-fetched interpretation of the more repetitive half of this song.
I know Kremlin (Russian) = Fortress in English, or, also, could be Moscovo's Kremlin, the Russia's Government seat, but I can't understand why "Kremlin Dusk" the name of this song.
The first part makes sence, since "Lenore" is a lost love, and the person in the text is drinking because - let's say it's a he, just like Poe; he actually had drinking issues too - misses the lost love. 'The Raven' is a symbol of his madness and self-torture. But then the person realizes that his love isn't going to come back, and he has become sober.
In the first part he says that he never will be haunted be the past, but in fact... it's a fight...
he is talking to himself. He can't decide whether he'll move on, or wait for the person who's not going to return to him.
He is a natural entertainer, so he makes it through the day, it's easy to pretend like everything is fine, but like he says, he's holding pieces of dying ember (in 'The Raven' the dying ember is memories of the lost love). He runs a secret propaganda (and that's my favourite line). He acts like he's fine, but if you look closely, there is so many signs that shows that he isn't, and he is actually calling for help.
The last part is about how he wants to move on, although he wants to stay because he still loves 'Lenore'. He is torn by the arms in opposite directions, and asks himself if it's always like that, when you lose someone you love.
This song - Kremlin Dusk - is beautifully written. Why aren't there more comments for the better songs in the world? To me it's about a mourn for someone dearly beloved and the loneliness within yourself, very similar to Poe's grief for his wife Virginia. and in song form if whoever that Hikki misses happened to listen to this song, she asks him if he finds any personal feelings from it too..
