Death
Embracing the Inevitable: Afterlife Parade's Reflection on Life's Transience
Lyrics
"Truth, Truth be told
Expressing the importance of truth
You might shake your fist at death, but we all grow old
Facing the inevitability of aging and death
Search, Search you might
Encouraging the search for meaning or purpose
But the fountain of youth is running dry
Highlighting the scarcity of rejuvenation
But the fountain of youth is running dry
Reiterating the idea of limited rejuvenation
Truth, Truth be told
Reemphasizing the importance of truth
That body you're wearing is not your home
Suggesting detachment from the physical body
Feel, feel the scars
Acknowledging emotional and physical wounds
Cresting in your skin and in your soul
Recognizing the presence of scars in both body and soul
Oh, the dirge has started, can you feel the pull?
Referring to the beginning of a mournful song, possibly signaling impending death
There's just nowhere to go
Describing a feeling of being trapped or having limited options
There's just nowhere to hide
Stating the impossibility of avoiding or concealing from an impending event
When your time is coming
Acknowledging the approach of one's time of death
It's everywhere you look
Death is pervasive and inescapable
It's always on your mind
Death is a constant presence in thoughts
You can't escape the tide
Unable to resist the inevitable force of death
There's just nowhere to run
Nowhere to flee from the impending event
There's just nowhere to hide
No place to hide from the inevitable
When the fire's coming
Comparing death to a consuming fire
It's everywhere you look
Death is all-encompassing and inescapable
It's always on your mind
Constantly aware of the presence of death
As your days go by
Reflecting on the passage of time
Can you feel your soul
Sensing the gradual loss of spiritual control
Start to lose control
Describing a sense of losing oneself spiritually
As the light comes crashing
Symbolizing a disruptive force as light crashing down
Everything you've known
Highlighting the potential loss of familiarity and identity
Everything you'll be
Contemplating the entirety of one's existence
is pulling you under"
Feeling the inevitable pull or influence of death
