In the morning
The battle for endurance has been lost
Sold my worth and dignity the same
I am shade
And essence of corroding time
So pale next to my love
In every way
Meaningless scar
Through the evening
Where our wisdom turns to rust
Fill the gap with lost integrity
I become the one you haven't seen for years
Liberating rain
Two shots and I need more
Adapt to the flow
A taste of the void
Get back and focus again
More of the fire
It churns the blood
The waves of dependence
Await to be slain
By memories of old
The battle for endurance has been lost
Sold my worth and dignity the same
I am shade
And essence of corroding time
So pale next to my love
In every way
Meaningless scar
Through the evening
Where our wisdom turns to rust
Fill the gap with lost integrity
I become the one you haven't seen for years
Liberating rain
Two shots and I need more
Adapt to the flow
A taste of the void
Get back and focus again
More of the fire
It churns the blood
The waves of dependence
Await to be slain
By memories of old

The word "Serein" was described by guitarist Anders Nystrom to mean "when rain falls but you can’t see any cloud". He goes to say that the song title is meant to be a cryptic metaphor & refused to describe what is truly being described in the context of the song. I believe the song is about a person reflecting on their life & past transgressions/failures. They see scars both external & internal, realizing it's all a part of their story arc & are having to come to peace with it all.
