Insomnium - Shadows Of The Dying Sun Lyrics






We're nothing more than shadows
Light scatter of the dying sun
Just particle beams in passing
Waves riding the eternal dark

We're nothing more than shadows
Mere remnants of the distant past
Animated sparks of energy
Bursting flames of the end

We're nothing more than shadows
We grow tall then fade away
We're vessels for a surging power
With solar fire in our veins

We're nothing more than shadows
Flares blazing in a blink of an eye
We're nothing more than shadows
Glimmers of hope against the black sky

And far upon the skies
Lies the truth within
We are shadows of the dying sun

Children of infinity
Always gazing to our past
We are dust of the stars

And I feel it in my heart
And I know it in my mind
That's all, ever will be

We're the dust of the stars

    Do you ever find yourself coming back to songs and just appreciating them INFINITELY more for their lyrics? Age and wisdom do wonders for my appreciation of Insomnium.

  11. J.... ....

    Perhaps the most scientifically accurate song of nihilism

    J.... ....

    Bloody well said mate! As an avid believer in scientific facts, philosophy of thought and melodic heavy metal, this song is of particular worth to me. I'm just relieved someone put in 6 minutes of music what the whole deal out there, currently to our knowledge, really is. Damn it, it should be taught at school...

    J.... ....

    I'd argue that it isn't about nihilism. Insomnium never really was about pure nihilism. If you reveal the truth between the lines, you'll find messages of inspiration, hope and meaning in their songs :)

  12. m.... o....

    playing along this song on some thai mushies is strong

  13. N.... J....

    Nobody does epic uplifting song endings as well as Insomnium! <3

  16. R.... G....

    Bu şarkıyı ilk olarak seneler önce 2015'te dinleme fırsatım olmuştu. Insomnium'un ilk dinlediğim şarkısı olan Down with the sun dan sonra dedim ki kesin hayal kırıklığına uğrayacağım. Ama olmadı. Sene 2019. Tüm gece uyumadım. Sabahın ilk ışıklarını bu şarkıyla izledim. Teşekkürler Insomnium. Güneşin doğuşunu anlamlı kıldığın için.

  17. A.... F....

    Música perfeita, amoo

    Qué temazo de La reputisima madre!!!!! ALTAS BESTIAS estos pibes!!!! Felicitaciones desde Argentina.....

    I have a interesting theory. I think this song is about the grey aliens.

  20. G.... ....

  42. E.... r....

    Dios como amo esta cancion
    Insomniun no hiso solo musica
    Hiso una obra de arte
    Esta cancion simplemente cierro los ojos y me lleva a esos paisajes que tiene este video
    Sobre todo al de otros planetas
    Con esta cancion puedo tener la sensacion de que soy hijo de la fuente creadora y algun dia regresare a ella

  43. K.... E....

    One of the best song I have ever heard ! Very powerfull and beautiful

  44. S.... I....

    Besides that everything Insomnium had released is a unique masterpiece... seems like this is a stellar theme album... about the relationship of the Universe and the Man. Seems like the Holographic Universe paradigma got this band too. Cool!

  45. M.... #....

    this song is really great

  46. U.... B....

    we are the dust of the stars!!!

  47. p.... c....

    Blast the volume, close your eyes and let this great song take you somewhere

  48. S.... A....

    Nenhum Br ?

    S.... A....

    só você

  49. A.... J....

    great punk band

    A.... J....

    do you have autism? xD

    A.... J....

    twas a joke dude XD

    A.... J....

    Dammit, I LOLed. >-<

    A.... J....

    Trojanarchist What has that to do with autism? :D

    A.... J....

    Must be fucking high 😂

  50. D.... G....

    Great song! A typical Crematory style of their earlier albums, like Illusions (1995).

  51. M.... ....

    this song is a fucking spatial trip to hell ... best band ever

  52. M.... N....

    Science, bitches!

    M.... N....

    Good one !

  53. P.... N....

    Göttlich! Great Stuff!

  54. R.... G....

    The lyrics give me chillls all the time

    R.... G....

    @Justin Duff They are a point of view, although a bit melancholic one.

    R.... G....

    @Justin Duff You must be a christian lol

    R.... G....

    @ANSH CHOUBEY No. How many "Christians" are there with their own version of truth? God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

    R.... G....

    @Justin Duff These are one of the most scientifically accurate lyrics I've ever seen. We ( or every element) created when a star dies and goes supernova. Supernova releases elements into space, which created us. Just read up on how universe came to be and you'll understand these lyrics.

    R.... G....

    @Hasthi Rambukwella lmfao...We're nothing more than shadows...Ya...that's some scientific shit right there.

  55. E.... M....

    This song is an absolute masterpiece, I love it!!!

  56. P.... H....

    Love this band!

  57. T.... A....

  58. m.... g....

    thats all ever will be
    is that proper english?
    not my first language but..mm

    m.... g....

    @VeriyWesi I can see that

    m.... g....

    +maku gx According to dark lyrics com, there is a comma between the two - "That's all, ever will be"

    m.... g....

    +Georgi Slavov Booklet says "That's all there is, ever will be". So I guess "there is" part is inaudible. They did this on previous albums too.

    m.... g....

    nice!~ didnt realize

    m.... g....

    +maku gx There's an implied "that" in the middle.
