Never walk away Turn your back on yourself Back on yourself One life one chance that's all we have. Darkness is ignorance Knowledge is light Fight only with yourself Or the shadows of the night All the pain and suffering will dispirit or feed you dispirit or feed you For each and every time your failures will craft you When the fear of them is gone fear is gone Dying doesn't make this world dead to us Breathing doesn't keep the flame alive in us Dreaming doesn't make time less real for us One life one chance all ephemeral (Solo) We stumble and hover at the edge of the world Edge of the world One life one chance that's all we have That's all we have. Lyrics of EPHEMERAL by Insomnium: Dying doesnt make this world dead to us, Breathing doesnt keep the flame alive in us, Dreaming doesnt make time less.
Dying doesn't make this world dead to us Breathing doesn't keep the flame alive in us Dreaming doesn't make time less real for us One life one chance all ephemeral Ephemeral. One impressive one is Hurt especially when it’s performed by Johnny Cash.""Darkness is ignorance Knowledge is light Fight only with yourself Or the shadows of the night Darkness is ignorance Knowledge is light Fight only with yourself Or the shadows of the night For this life will break you Years will wear you down Wear you down And every day you die a little Until the shadows will take you Shadows will take you. There are just too many of them out there. Ville/INSOMNIUM: Again, it’s really hard to tell one particular song or piece of lyrics that made that grand impact. RYL: What is your favorite all-time song? Which is the verse you like the most? You need that in order to be able to concentrate fully on what you’re doing. RYL: What is the most important thing you need to have while writing a song? It’s easy to let all good slip away and if you do there might be not coming back… There might come a situation where you share your life with someone but do not really connect mentally with that person anymore. Ville/INSOMNIUM: Obviously, it’s a relationship song and tells a story of growing apart. RYL: What inspired the lyrics of “While We Sleep”? Ville/INSOMNIUM: I don’t have particular favorite one but I like the verses I wrote to song While We Sleep.
RYL: Which is the best verse you ever wrote?
Inspiration can come pretty much everywhere, art, movies, books comics and of course form your own life experiences. Ville/INSOMNIUM: I collect all kind of ideas to my iPhone and when it comes down to start writing more extensively I flap through my notes and take it from there. RYL: How do you usually write the lyrics of your songs? I think this was one of the earliest tracks we composed for this album along the Ephemeral and we had it ready already 6 months before the studio. Ville/INSOMNIUM: It’s a track written by Markus Vanhala, our new guitar player, and it’s one of my favourites as well! Lyrics were written by Niilo and I would suggest you to read them yourself to get the glimpse of the story. RYL: Tell us everything about our favorite track, “Revelation”… But you can put the all down under existential pain, finding your own place in life and just dealing with growing up as human beings. RYL: Is there a common “theme” among the lyrics of your songs? There’s definitely bit of catharsis effect there.
My own lyrics are quite personal this time and relate much more to growing up and coming into terms with your life in good and bad. There’s no big theme involved but the lyrics are just collection of different life experiences and fictional stories. Ville/INSOMNIUM: I think in general the lyrics turned out well given the tight time frame we had. What was its main achievement in terms of lyrics? RYL: ‘Shadows of the Dying Sun’ is the title of your new album.
