Funeral Song
Revelations in Melancholy: Exploring Life's Depths through Broken Glowsticks' "Funeral Song
Lyrics
I'm getting high today from 10 to 4pm
Planning to be intoxicated from 10 AM to 4 PM
I'm gonna close all of the windows and climb into my head
Intending to isolate oneself mentally
I start to wonder if I'll ever make a dent
Questioning the impact or significance of personal actions
I'm drowning in my words again
Feeling overwhelmed by one's own thoughts and speech
I'll never find the end
Expressing an inability to conclude or resolve something
Tiny orange pills an Altoids tin
Referring to consuming small pills stored in an Altoids tin
What if we all die before we win
Ruminating on the possibility of death before achieving success
I still don't know
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge
Lines in the palm of my hand
Reference to the lines on the palm of the hand
Lines in my face
Mentioning lines on one's face, possibly indicating age or experiences
Lines with my friends in la
Memories or experiences shared with friends in Los Angeles
We stayed up all night
Staying awake throughout the night
Like we were kids again
Revisiting a carefree or youthful state of being
We'll run until it's over
Continuing an activity until its conclusion
We'll slip into the morning light
Transitioning into the early morning hours
We see in different colors
Perceiving things differently or having varied perspectives
We've never had to pass the time
Never experiencing boredom or a need to fill time
We've never had to sell ourselves short
Never compromising or settling for less
Life in the palm of my hands
Life's experiences held within one's hands
Life doesn't wait
Life doesn't wait for anyone
Die with things that you make
Endorsing the idea of dying with creative achievements
We stayed up all night
Similar to line 13, staying awake through the night
So we could breathe again
Staying awake for the purpose of feeling alive again
We'll run until it's over
Continuing an activity until its conclusion (similar to line 16)
We'll slip into the morning light
Transitioning into the early morning hours (similar to line 17)
We see in different colors
Perceiving things differently (similar to line 18)
We've never had to pass the time
Never experiencing boredom or a need to fill time (similar to line 19)
We've never had to sell ourselves short at all
Never compromising or settling for less (similar to line 20)
Cause the fire never went out here
Symbolizing persistence or an enduring passion
And I still live every day like it's my last
Living each day as if it's the last
but I'm lost inside the songs again
Feeling consumed or lost within one's own music or creations
I'm drowning in the words I wanna sing
Overwhelmed by the desire to express oneself through song
And I don't even know if they're good yet
Uncertainty about the quality or worth of one's creative output
