Now Dead
Eternal Echoes: Chamber Door's Poignant Ode to Loss and Remembrance
Lyrics
I remember the days of youth
Recollection of past youthful days
When you were the one who understood
Recognition of someone who understood deeply
But the words that in my heart you lead
Words once guided by the individual are fading
Will slowly fade
The fading of once-held guidance and understanding
Now that you are dead
Emphasis on the person's death
You are dead
Reiteration of the individual's death
You are, ooh
Expressive pause, emotive
Ooh
Emotional continuation
You are dead
Reiteration of the person's death
You are dead
-Will slowly fade
Repeated reference to fading guidance
Now that you are dead
Emphasizing the impact of the individual's death on guidance
The burdens you carried
Recognition of the burdens the person carried
Took the best of your heart so wearied
The burdens took a toll on the person's heart
And now as the spirit from the body fled
As the person's spirit departed from their body
You can rest well
Wishing peace for the departed
Now that you are dead
Reiteration of the person's death
You are dead
-You are, ooh
Expressive pause, emotive
Ooh
Continuation of emotional expression
You are dead
Reiteration of the person's death
You are dead
-You can rest well
Wishing peace for the departed
Now that you are dead
Emphasizing peace for the departed
I still remember
Recollection of memories, particularly of nature and the person
The flowing water
Recollection of flowing water
The fine reflections
Reflections and memories of the past
Your face in the sunlight
Recalling the person's appearance in pleasant moments
I'm all alone now
Sense of loneliness after the person's death
And alone I may tread
The individual is left alone to navigate life
Now that you are dead
Reiteration of the person's death
You are dead
-I wonder why so thin is life's thread
Questioning the fragility of life
While I wait for the day that I am dead
Await for personal death, pondering life's fleeting nature
That I am
Emphasizing personal death
Dead
Personal acknowledgment of eventual death
The day that I am dead
Acknowledgment of personal death
Oo, oo
Expressive pause, emotive
I am, I am
Reiteration of personal existence
But the pain still remains
The enduring presence of pain
The pain still remains
Continuation of enduring pain
The pain still remains
Repetition of the persistence of pain
But the pain still remains
Continued existence of pain
The pain still remains
Continuation of persistent pain
The pain still remains
The persisting presence of pain
But the pain still remains
Reiteration of enduring pain
The pain still remains
Continued existence of pain
The pain still remains
Enduring and persisting pain
