    Lyrics
    Lost, here is nowhere
    Searching home still
    Turning past me, all are gone
    Time is now
    The omen showed, took me away
    Preparations are done, this can't last
    The mere reflection brought disgust
    No ordeal to conquer, this firm slit
    It sheds upon the floor, dripping into a pool
    Grant me sleep, take me under
    Like the wings of a dove, folding around
    I fade into this tender care

    It describes the last peaceful-like moments of someone’s life of loneliness, suffering and self hate as they commit suicide. A lost soul that became convinced that it was his/her fate; “The Omen showed, took me away.” Frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt has even mentioned himself that this track is about suicide and has also noted that it's actually his favorite from the record Blackwater Park, saying "it's just so dark and simple."

    This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It perfectly captures the act of suicide, it's aftermath and depression leading to it.
    First three minutes describe the feeling of meloncholy, loss of hope and utter sadness. The riffs from 2 to 3 minutes are just beautiful sounds like a crying being.
    The second part is where the hateful and resentful part takes over where the only option is to eliminate the source of tension.
    3rd to 4th minute is his hate and contemplation on preparation to kill himself.
    The transition around 4:30 and upbeat change is the act of suicide till 5:45 where he finally finds solace.
    The abrubt change ends with a utter sadness around him.

    Opeth has very dark and aggressive themes that some people interpret as suicidal but it doesn't feel that way to me. It seems like they talk about the loneliness of independence and turning away from what's empty and rigid. The cost of being real is high. They always find a way to express it masterfully in their music.

  • @darksinthe
    @darksinthe Год назад +10

    intro is the preparation; the person portrayed in the song is ridden with sadness and despair- the melancholy acoustic echoes with this despair and depression. They are lonely and feel there is no other recourse. They have made the choice to end it. The song then breaks into intensity as they are filled with a ragelike trance, blinding them of consequence. The lyrics then portray the obvious narration of it. It is a very profound and profoundly sad song about suicide, a touchy subject that is beautifully portrayed through this instrumentation and vocals. I fade into this tender care is the final thought; a hope for a release from the victim. They lose consciousness and the following melancholy insturmentation portrays that the deed is done, and it is tragic. I always imagine the body on the floor when the final melancholy acoustics play, slowly panning out from the scene of tragedy. So many emotions portrayed here- the loss the victims loved ones will face. etc. Poetry made music.

    The heavy verses are one of my favourite parts of this album, 2 guitars start in Dm one plays power chords tge other plays a different but complemntary run of notes at a different rhythym and the bass drives it along, the result would make a perfect soundtrack for a biblical flood or someother apocalyptic deluge

      I like the new Opeth, when you do the same thing over and over (see Iron Maiden) all your songs become a blurr. But when you change it up with still good music but different, it allows classics like this song to be appreciated in its fullest. Its why as a tool fan, I was not crazy about their new album, because it just sounded like a rehash of Lateralus, but a second rate one. They didnt grow at all. 10,000 days was pretty good (although a bit too much filler to make it great) and at least it sounded different from the previous album. Their new album just sounds like nostalgia. With opeth it took me a while to get into Sorceress and Heritage (havent heard pale communion yet, but I have the CD) but once I did I could appreciate it. Are there songs on those albums that sound like experiments that dont work? Sure, but at least they are taking chances. Take The Ward as an example, COMPLETELY different from Blackwater park sound, and certainly not as complex, but its special in its simplicity and puts you in a mood. My point to all of this is growth and change is good, it keeps the passion and doesnt water down previous work.

    I remember traveling to Florida with my band and staying in a hotel. We ventured out explored the city and came across this music shop and I bought two cd’s based on their covers. Black water park. And fair to midland: what I say three times is true….. I stayed up at night in my hotel room sitting near the window sipping ketal one vodka and looking out at the city so alive on a cold crisp night night and listening to this album. This album took me through so many emotions The experience was indescribable. Every time I listen to this album I get transported back in time at the specific moment.

    I've seen Opeth 10+ times, I've listened to Blackwater Park more than years I've been alive (a lot). I picked up guitar because of Opeth and of course I picked up a PRS. Out of every show, every listen, every riff I've learned, Dirge For November is the most emotional and gut-wrenching song to this day. I've never seen them perform this live, and that's almost as gut-wrenching. Mike, please please please consider this for rotation.

    This song took the longest to grow on me when I first heard this record. But now that I understand Opeths style, going from delicate and light almost ambient music, to face fucking death metal prog, this song has become one of my favorite on the record.
    The soaring guitars on this one are just... masterful.
    Music I wish I was genius enough to think up. I’m skilled enough to play pretty much every Opeth record on the drums, but thinking this stuff up is something else entirely.
