Journey Beyond, Love Lost: Coheed and Cambria's Poetic Farewell
Lyrics
Good morning sunshine awake when the sun hits the sky
Awakening in the morning sun, starting the day.
Look up the sounds that surround the day you died
Reflecting on the sounds surrounding the day of death.
She waits for me outside near a hole in the ground
Awaiting outside by a grave or symbolic hole.
In the one way thinking you might get the upper hand
Expressing a one-sided hope for advantage or control.
Dear Newo Ikkin how's Apollo been treating you?
Addressing someone named Newo Ikkin, asking about Apollo.
Has he been a good boy since the day I left?
Inquiring about Apollo's behavior since departure.
Give him my love and a sweet kiss for his head
Sending love and a kiss to Apollo, aware of not returning home.
Cause I won't be coming home, when you get this I'll be dead
Explicitly stating the speaker's death in a message.
Narris and Larry, Gloria to nowhere
Referring to characters (Narris, Larry, Gloria) heading nowhere.
Sir, I think you'd better take my hand and pray we make this one out alive
Seeking companionship and expressing uncertainty about survival.
Captain! we've lost all systems control then son I'll see you in my sleep
Anticipating meeting in dreams after losing control.
Is it all you've shared with them that makes us paranoid?
Raising questions about shared experiences causing paranoia.
Is it the dream that one day you might be something you're not?
Wondering if aspirations to be someone else fuel paranoia.
Is it all you've shared with them that makes us paranoid?
Reiterating the impact of shared experiences on paranoia.
Is it the dreams that makes us real?
Exploring the idea that dreams define reality.
We'll miss you and wait for you when you come
Expressing a collective longing and waiting for the departed.
Wrong way, right way bad luck what god has been giving me
Reflecting on the twists of fate and the divine's role in life.
We'll miss you and wait for you when you come
Repeating the sentiment of missing and waiting for the return.
Wrong way, right way bad luck you've got to be kidding me
Expressing disbelief or irony in the twists of fate mentioned earlier.
I've spent so long sitting down here,
Reflecting on a prolonged period of contemplation or suffering.
Paper cut my heart in half and discard the evidence
Symbolizing emotional pain with a metaphorical paper cut.
When it's yours come send me the last half
Requesting the return of a shared possession (heart).
Dowsed in kerosene in a torched, blazed blood bath
Describing intense emotions using vivid imagery of kerosene and blood.
When boy sets fire god knows you've lost at a cost that has no price
Acknowledging a loss with a cost beyond measure.
When you've purchased guilt
Reflecting on the purchase of guilt and its consequences.
Stand at attention and make sure you know lines and yourself
Advising self-awareness and adherence to principles.
Yet you'd say I'll be home alone again waiting
Expressing loneliness and anticipation of being alone again.
Wait for me alright, I'm still a boy down there when you want to promise me that
Seeking assurance and a promise despite the speaker's inner child.
I won't fail you now
Pledging not to fail despite the challenging circumstances.
Dear captain send the S.O.S we're gonna go down
Sending a distress signal, suggesting imminent danger or downfall.
