Song lyrics and meanings

[Red]

It's really sad when people literally doesn't care or dare to even take a look at the lyrics, even though the artist might have put so much effort and feel to them. They only listen to voice of words rather than the meaning behind them. Therefore most of the artists let it be and write something overused shit we hear everyday played by the media. The most used themes are sex, money and love, hands down.

Poets Of The Fall is a good band and an example how well words can symbolize things and emotions.
I know I've been repeating myself about this band maybe couple of times, but it is just that the band feels underrated. They honestly deserve more. Every song they make has a deeper meaning and a well composed melody. Hell, even their name speaks something already.

My pick:

Given and Denied

Spoiler below!

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I've let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear

Oh to see the sun's eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings

Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I'm weightless again
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind...

Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind...
