While the End Is Coming
Embracing Dawn's Forgiveness: A Poetic Reflection on Redemption
Lyrics
Within the thin light of every dawn
Contemplating the possibilities at the start of each day.
I see a future which I know I'll miss
Anticipation of a future that won't be experienced.
I see joy on faces of children and men
Observing happiness on the faces of people, especially children and men.
I hear all sounds even the snake's hiss
Awareness of all sounds, even those that may be ominous or threatening.
Beyond the cell bars that keep me from you
Feeling confined and separated, possibly metaphorically represented by cell bars.
Remorse is my heaven and fate so strong
Acceptance of remorse as a form of solace, acknowledging the strength of fate.
And I repent for ever more
Expressing ongoing repentance and regret.
Soon I'll be no more I think it's for the best
Contemplating one's imminent end, believing it to be for the best.
I've done my deeds and wrong I'll pay
Acknowledging past deeds and preparing to face consequences.
But I see the dawn
Despite impending doom, witnessing the dawn, possibly symbolizing hope.
This thought drives me mad but I wan to feel
Driven to madness by the desire to experience a free child's laughter one last time.
For the last time how a free child laughs
Expressing a yearning for the pure joy of a child's laughter.
Within dawn's dim light I see forgiveness and serenity
Seeing forgiveness and serenity in the light of dawn.
A purple vain over my sins, but I pay mine and I'll pay yours
Symbolic reference to a purifying vein over sins, accepting responsibility for one's actions and others.
Before my ending that frees you from me-remorse is
Anticipating freedom from remorse through impending personal ending.
Remorse is my heaven and fate is so closed-oh so closed
Reiterating that remorse and fate are inescapable, closing in.
And I repent for ever more
Continued expression of repentance and regret.
Strange words-maybe make you feel
Reflecting on the impact of words, potentially causing a shared feeling.
like this man out there, like the man
Comparing oneself to an unidentified man, suggesting a common experience.
Who stands in the beginning of a tale, a tale which seems to be
Introducing a tale that appears honest but may carry deeper meanings.
As honest like a child's kiss
Drawing a comparison to the sincerity of a child's kiss.
