Forgotten sorrow

The song 'Forgotten Sorrow' from the Aion Soundtrack is a poignant exploration of loss, despair, and the search for hope amidst overwhelming darkness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a soul grappling with the aftermath of love lost and the haunting memories that linger. The opening lines, 'Don't cry for me, how easy love has gone / Try to see, how deep my despair is,' set the tone for a journey through emotional turmoil. The winds of fate and time are depicted as forces that sweep away tearful memories, leaving behind a sense of emptiness and longing.

The recurring theme of calling out in sweet harmony, only to be met with fading echoes, underscores the futility and isolation felt by the narrator. This is further emphasized by the imagery of a 'crying breeze' and 'silent tears,' which evoke a sense of sorrow that is both pervasive and inescapable. The lyrics also delve into the idea of false fate and the shards of history, suggesting a past filled with broken dreams and unfulfilled promises. The darkness that fills the narrator's heart is a stark contrast to the laughter that masks the pain of what has been lost.

As the song progresses, the imagery becomes even more vivid and intense. The 'whirly world' and 'rough breath in dark' convey a sense of chaos and struggle, while 'cruel blades and tears in sorrowful days' highlight the pain and suffering endured. The burning away of hollow hopes and the absence of divine intervention ('Don't pray for God where the angels have gone') reflect a deep sense of abandonment and disillusionment. Yet, amidst this despair, there is a glimmer of hope as the narrator seeks to weep gently until blind, suggesting a cathartic release. The closing lines, 'Please come to me, come dusk, the past will flee / Try to see the new dawn what brings hope faintly,' offer a tentative promise of renewal and the possibility of finding solace in a new beginning.
