Sorrowing Man Lyrics

Sorrowing man
Look how worn you've become
You once were lord of the barren sea
There's blood on our hands
In this perfect madness
You're living on borrowed time

Oh, how you have lost your way
Oh, how you have lost your way

There's no sympathy
For we don't know the cure
'Cause what you've got, well it runs too pure
But you've lived and breathed
More than any man I know
But you're not done, or at least I hope

Oh, how you have lost your way
Oh, how you have lost your way
In this life that we have made together
Oh, how you have lost your way
Oh, how you have lost your way
Oh, how you have lost your way

What is the Meaning of Sorrowing Man?

Drenched in melancholic nostalgia, this haunting ballad tells the story of a once-mighty soul who has drifted off course. The protagonist, once a dominant force amidst desolation, now bears the weight of an unseen burden—perhaps a reflection on the consequences of past decisions. 🌊 The imagery of "blood on our hands" evokes shared guilt in a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Lost in the labyrinth of time, the sorrowing man navigates a landscape punctuated by dashed hopes and relentless weariness. The song poignantly captures the lament of a spirit trying to reclaim its path, yearning for redemption in a life built with another. Though the road ahead is shrouded in uncertainty, the glimmer of hope persists, urging him to rise above the despair and rediscover the strength that once defined him.
