Dead Meadow
Journey Through the Dead Meadow: A Tale of Isolation and Reflection
Lyrics
All alone at last
Feeling finally isolated
Years roll by so fast
Time passing swiftly
Twisted and insane
Mentally disturbed and troubled
The house you built
Metaphor for a stable life you've created
No longer the same
The stability of life has changed
Once you're there
Once reaching a certain point or state
Once you're there
Reinforcement of being stuck or trapped
You can't come back
No return from the situation
Nothing lives
No vitality or progress
Nothing grows
No development or improvement
Inside the dead meadow
Metaphorically, a lifeless, stagnant place
Months keep rolling by
Time keeps moving forward
Live another day, then you die
A cyclical nature of life - living and then dying
Ghosts inside your head
Persistent haunting thoughts or memories
We choose our paths
We make choices determining our paths
When all is done and said
When everything is concluded
Once you're there
Repetition of being stuck or trapped
Once you're there
Emphasizing the impossibility of returning
You can't come back
Irreversibility of the situation
Nothing lives
No vibrancy or progress
Nothing grows
No development or improvement
Inside the dead meadow
Metaphorically, a lifeless, stagnant place (reiteration)
