Northern Blues Lyrics

I've got too much in front of me
And not enough left behind
I've got too much in front of me
I didn't leave enough behind

I can hear the devil whisper
Paying no heed to what you said
I can hear the devil whisper
Staking no way to his grave

And I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Got my soul in a world of
Some post-mortem dream
I keep rolling on
Howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues

I have no understanding
For standing outside of time
Three hundred thousand hours
Still I remain hungry for the lie

The world is disappearing
Little by little, day by day
Three hundred thousand hours
Still the weather it has not changed

And I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
Got my soul in a world of
Some post-mortem dream
I keep rolling on
Howling at the moon
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues

I'm all torn down
With these northern blues
I'm all torn down

I keep rolling on
Howling at the moon[
But I'm all torn down
With these northern blues

What is the Meaning of Northern Blues?

Beneath the haunting whispers and melancholic strums, a tale of existential weariness unfolds. 🌙 The singer is caught in a relentless forward march, burdened by the weight of unfulfilled pasts and uncertain futures. The "devil whispering" symbolizes temptation and inner turmoil, while the "northern blues" paint a picture of isolation and desolation. He finds himself trapped in a cyclical dreamscape, howling at an indifferent moon, yearning for change that never comes. Time slips away—300,000 hours gone—yet nothing shifts; he remains stuck in a cold reality where hope seems as elusive as warmth in winter. This evocative piece captures the essence of feeling torn down by life's relentless passage and unyielding struggles. 🌌
