Death Is Not Defeat
Embracing Mortality: Beyond Defeat
Lyrics
When I leave this skin and bone
Expressing the departure from the physical body.
Beyond my final heartbeat
Looking beyond the last heartbeat, implying post-death existence.
I'll dismantle piece by piece
Anticipating a gradual breakdown of self after death.
And I will know that death is not defeat
Realization that death is not a defeat but a transformation.
When I leave this skin and bone
Reiteration of the departure from the physical body.
Beyond my final heartbeat
Repeating the anticipation of post-death existence.
I'll dismantle piece by piece
Repeating the idea of gradual self-dismantlement after death.
And I will know that death is not defeat
Reiteration of understanding that death is not defeat.
Holding on tight to what's left of our time
Clutching onto the remaining moments of life.
We've hidden away, but it's in the design
Acknowledging a hidden aspect of life, possibly fate or destiny.
Why do we fight what we can't define?
Questioning the resistance to accepting the unknown.
Don't be afraid, we all cross the same line
Encouraging fearlessness in facing the inevitability of death.
When I leave this skin and bone
Reiteration of the departure from the physical body.
Beyond my final heartbeat
Repeating the anticipation of post-death existence.
I'll dismantle piece by piece
Repeating the idea of gradual self-dismantlement after death.
And I will know that death is not defeat
Reiteration of understanding that death is not defeat.
Into the night, we burn and rage
Describing a passionate and intense existence that comes to an end in death.
In death, we repay for time on this stage
Highlighting the repayment for the time spent in life.
The lights are bright, but don't lose your way
Advising not to lose direction amid life's brightness.
'Cause once it ignites, the flame must decay
Warning that once ignited, life's flame must eventually fade.
Now you're finally complete
Acknowledging the completeness achieved after death.
I will see you where oceans meet
Expecting a reunion in an abstract, afterlife setting.
Past and present merge, light and dark will converge
Describing a merging of past and present, light and dark.
Time will overthrow our, our reign on this throne
Highlighting the transient nature of time and power.
The everlasting sleep returning through the veil
Portraying death as an eternal sleep beyond a veil.
Far beneath the deep, another soul sets sail
Imagining a soul's journey beneath the deep after death.
When I leave this skin and bone
Reiteration of the departure from the physical body.
Beyond my final heartbeat
Repeating the anticipation of post-death existence.
I'll dismantle piece by piece
Repeating the idea of gradual self-dismantlement after death.
And I will know that death is not defeat
Reiteration of understanding that death is not defeat.
When I leave this skin and bone
Repetition of the departure from the physical body.
Beyond my final heartbeat
Repeating the anticipation of post-death existence.
I'll dismantle piece by piece
Repeating the idea of gradual self-dismantlement after death.
And I will know that death is not defeat
Reiteration of understanding that death is not defeat.
