Lyrics
No - I'll lay half empty, half finished,
Feeling incomplete and unfinished, both physically and metaphorically, until my life concludes
Half written, until my end
Leaving things undone until my death
I'll leave the lights on just in case
Keeping a metaphorical light on, holding onto hope that someone lost may return
You want to be found again
Expressing willingness to reconnect with someone who wants to be found
To the dead, I wrote you countless letters
Writing numerous letters to the deceased
Dear only some I sent
Choosing to send only a selection of letters to certain individuals
How easy it was for silence to say
Highlighting the power of silence to convey strong messages
Some of the loudest of things
Contrasting the quietness of silence with the intensity of its unspoken messages
To speak so effortlessly the words and syllables
Reflecting on the ease with which words and syllables can harm or destroy
That can crush in an instant
Acknowledging the destructive potential of certain words
To our end, to the dear departed
Referencing the end and addressing those who have passed away
Are you my last chance or the first chapter
Questioning if the addressed individual is a final opportunity or the beginning of a significant story
In the greatest fable ever told
Placing the relationship in the context of a grand narrative or myth
For the rope is getting shorter and these days
Describing a sense of urgency with time running out
They are getting longer with every ghosts I find
Noting the increasing difficulty of finding solace with each encounter with the departed
They leave no heart unbroken
Stating that every encounter with ghosts leaves emotional scars
My great devastator
Addressing an entity or force as the great devastator
To our end, to the dear departed
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the end and addressing those who have passed away
Are you my last chance or the first chapter
Repeating the question of whether the addressed individual is a final chance or the beginning of a significant story
In the greatest fable ever told
Reiterating the placement of the relationship in the context of a grand narrative or myth
I'll leave the lights on just in case
Repeating the metaphor of leaving the lights on for a potential return
You want to be found again
Reiterating the willingness to reconnect with someone who wants to be found
My great devastator
Reiterating the designation of an entity or force as the great devastator
