De Profundis Borealis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All the things that never gave you peace
Throwing those, but keeping these
All the rights that didn’t undo wrongs
Put it back where it belongs
[Pre-Chorus]
In a palace built of frozen tears
All life is gone
But between the walls of whispering frost
Secrets live on
[Chorus]
Every time you feel the wind blow
And a glow within you dies
When tomorrow comes, you will know
That the morning thaws the ice
[Verse 2]
All the words that never came out right
Within reach, but out of sight
All the songs that couldn’t mend your heart
But slit it up and tore apart
[Pre-Chorus]
See, the palace built of frozen tears
Is your own built prison
And if only love could break these chains
Life could go on
[Chorus]
Every time you feel the wind blow
And a glow within you dies
When tomorrow comes, you will know
That the morning thaws the ice
Summary of this Song Lyrics
_____________________________________
Ghost’s “De Profundis Borealis” song explores emotional pain and the journey toward healing. The lyrics describe holding onto past wounds and regrets—memories, words, and actions that never brought peace or resolution. The “palace built of frozen tears” serves as a metaphor for a self-made prison of sorrow, where emotions are locked away and life seems frozen in time. Within this cold, silent structure, secrets and pain remain trapped.
Despite this desolate emotional landscape, the song offers a message of hope. The recurring line “the morning thaws the ice” symbolizes renewal and the gradual return of warmth, suggesting that healing is possible. Even when it feels like something inside has died, the arrival of a new day brings the potential for change and growth.
The second verse deepens the sense of longing and unresolved expression, speaking to missed chances and emotional wounds that words and music couldn’t heal. Still, the chorus encourages resilience. It reminds the listener that pain isn’t permanent, and with time, even the most frozen heart can begin to feel again. Ultimately, the song conveys a powerful message about enduring hardship and finding strength in the promise of a new beginning.
