Benighted


______________ / Opeth / I think benighted means being mentally enclosed by something. / Benighted / This song is about someone who suffers from a loss and is / Still Life / benighted by it, and about this person, who reached out for her. /_____________/ Unfortunately (my opinion) this person offers her to fall into a deeper mental slumber, into this night - sorta satanic, eh?...
