Review The Song (17)Print the Lyrics
Found a way to rid myself clean of pain
And the fever that's been haunting me
Has gone away

Looking through my window
I seem to recognize
All the people passing by
But I am alone
And far from home
And nobody knows me

Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again
All days are in darkness
And I'm biding my time
Once I'm sure of my task I will rise again

Review about Hours of Wealth

Hours of wealth | Reviewer: Yanal | 11/22/09

In my opinion its simple and deeply about a phase of life, a phase of confusion in which a person is just letting feelings of their chest in order to be able to step forward. No suicidal concepts in these words " one I am sure of my task I shall rise again" and regarding the structure of the song its actually a typical jazz concept in which its divided into an intro, bridge, verse and the smoothest outro, except that its not common to find this structures consumed by these kind of minor scales and genre



Great song. | Reviewer: B.A.C | 8/18/09

I completely agree with Dye's interpretation. And the concept, as someone said, is about a man who kills his mother, but the part about him worshipping satan is completely unfounded. Why do people still insist on associating metal with satanism?



Surely it's about | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/15/09


Surely the song is about someone on the verge of commiting suicide. It is a thoroughly beautiful song that transports the listener to the melancholoy place it's being sung from. Something in the way it's written, and there's not a lot to it despite not following any kind of traditional song structure, it draws you in and forces you pay attention. Awesome. It's up there Hope Leaves.



Underrated | Reviewer: Wesley | 6/26/09

I think that this is one of the most underrated songs on the album. True while songs like "Beneath the Mire" and "Ghost of Perdition" are great too, this song doesn't get as much recognition as it should. Very sad and melancholic.

As regarding to what the song is about, you have to first know that the entire album Ghost Reveries (except for the song "Isolation Years") is a concept album about someone who kills his mother and worships Satan.

Now this song is about the character isolating himself from the outside world.



this days | Reviewer: An | 5/5/09

this few last days have been pretty terrible in my life, I had to kind of, kick a person out of my life, and today I was listening to this song, And I felt it really matched with my actual situation, great lyrics, great music, and everything joined together, this is opeth people, and is one of the greatest bands in the world!!!
isn't it?



Excellent song | Reviewer: Em | 4/2/09

awesome piece; the strings, gosh, some ownage; and the lyrics totally own.

my interpretation? i think that it reffers to a man who, in spite of having a high economical stituation, feels alone. the classical: "money is not everything"

dunno. Peace.



Free of Pain | Reviewer: Dye | 2/7/09

hhhhhmmmmmm...the meaning! This is more deep than what you think. When you listen to this, there are few words but you can resume a life.

(this is my opinion) This is about a man who is running away from something that haunts him. He found a way not to suffer more. Running away from everyone and everything, he isolated himself from the pain.
He looks at everyone and, how he is alone, he wants someone to talk to him and wants to believe that has nothing diferent from the others. He doesn't want to feel alone. But he is far away from everyone he knows. And nobody knows how he is suffering or how he is alone.
Because of that, he says to himself that he never said goodbye to the ones he love, that he'll return. But he needs to stay in the darkness, suffer alone and think. Think very deep what is expected from him and what he wants of his life. Only then, he'll return.

So Beautiful and Melancholic | Reviewer: eXoticPirate | 3/25/08

I agree with all of the above comments, and I want to add that this song has a letargic and melancholic feeling to it that makes me narrow my eyes and listen carefully once again to the crystal sounds. As you said, it really is amazing.
