Discover the story of the song > Magical Shadows of a Tragic Past – Mütiilation

The protagonist in these lyrics is feeling a deep sadness from their past, and they only find relief in the idea of death. They describe their sorrow as a key that unlocks something, but they can never fully reach it. The weather is sad and dark, like the spirit of Satan, and the walls around them seem to emit a feeling of death. The protagonist wishes they never have to experience happiness again, because their existence reminds them of their dark past. They compare their tears to a rain that stains a castle, and the clouds in the sky are blood-red. The caves are cold and evil, and by the end of the Sunday night, the protagonist decides to end their life and maybe find a way to open the gate to whatever lies beyond. They believe that death is the end of one form of existence, but they will take on another form that still haunts them. As they leave this world, magical shadows surround them, and they are left with tragic memories as they enter the realm of the dead. The walls around them seem to vomit memories of a sad and evil past, and their soul is trapped in a tormented eternity.
