One Grave
Eternal Rest: Confronting Life's Final Embrace
Lyrics
When the time comes where I no longer roam the earth
Anticipation of the speaker's death and the aftermath.
The wind will scream my words, and a ghost of grimace will emerge
The impact of the speaker's words and emotions even after death, symbolized by the wind and a ghostly expression.
The time will come for me to lay amongst the dirt
An acknowledgment of the inevitability of death.
You'll be forced to feel remorse and overwhelmed with hurt
The emotional burden and pain that others will experience upon the speaker's death.
You must be strong my darling, please for me be brave
An urging for strength and bravery from a loved one, addressing the emotional challenges ahead.
For all my lives I've lived, I only need one grave
Expressing a desire for a single grave to encapsulate the essence of all the speaker's lives.
Dig the holes, feed the hate
An ominous call to action, possibly reflecting negative emotions and resentment.
Lay me down, this is my final resting place
Describing the process of burial as the speaker's final resting place.
Darkness surrounding, I will never wake
A portrayal of perpetual darkness and an eternal sleep after death.
Throw dirt on me. As you bid farewell
An explicit request for the act of burying, emphasizing a final farewell.
Throw dirt on me
Reiteration of the plea to throw dirt, possibly indicating a desire for closure and acceptance of death.
The time will come for me to lay amongst the dirt
A repetition of the acknowledgment of the inevitability of death.
You'll be forced to feel remorse and overwhelmed with hurt
Reiteration of the emotional impact on others after the speaker's death.
You must be strong my darling, please for me be brave
Continuation of the plea for strength and bravery from a loved one.
For all my lives I've lived, I only need one grave
Reiteration of the desire for a single grave encapsulating the speaker's entire existence.
Throw dirt on me. Throw dirt on me
Final repetition of the explicit request for the act of burying, emphasizing the significance of this farewell act.
