Skeleton Man
Eternal Yearning: Skeleton Man's Haunting Quest for Love
Lyrics
Behold the man
The subject is being observed or presented.
He has the skeleton hands
Metaphorically, his hands resemble a skeleton's, suggesting frailty or mortality.
As he awaits his heart
He's waiting for his heart metaphorically, possibly waiting for love or emotional fulfillment.
His soul embodied in her
His essence or being is closely tied to another person (her).
Watch as he eats alone
He eats alone, indicating a sense of isolation or loneliness.
How he tries to forget
He tries to forget something significant from his past.
The life he used to know
He's distancing himself from a previous life or experiences.
And what he saw in his head
He's haunted or disturbed by memories or thoughts.
Confusion
Feeling disoriented or puzzled.
Overlapping his senses
Conflicting perceptions or sensations.
Delusion
Believing in false ideas or perceptions.
Dragging down his illusions
Causing his false beliefs to collapse.
Behold the man
(Reiteration of line 1)
He has the skeleton hands
(Reiteration of line 2)
As he awaits his heart
(Reiteration of line 3)
His soul embodied in her
(Reiteration of line 4)
Watch as he eats alone
(Reiteration of line 5)
How he tries to forget
(Reiteration of line 6)
The life he used to know
(Reiteration of line 7)
And what he saw in his head
(Reiteration of line 8)
I'm not one with myself anymore
Feeling disconnected from oneself.
And I'm never going back
Resolute about not returning to a previous state or situation.
I can sleep alone
Capable of sleeping without needing someone else.
I can dream alone
Capable of dreaming without external influence.
And I don't need you anymore
Asserting independence and self-sufficiency.
Come watch the world as it's falling down to hell
Observing the world's decline and chaos.
(I cannot say I need you)
An internal conflict about needing someone.
My world is upside down with just a story to tell
Feeling emotionally distressed despite outward appearances.
(Because I am not alright)
Admitting personal struggles and dissatisfaction.
My heart is broken lungs are sore
Experiencing emotional pain and physical discomfort.
I'm always here alone
Consistently being in a state of solitude.
(I'm losing self I'm losing my)
Feeling a loss of identity and self.
Can't you see I'm drowning
Expressing the overwhelming feeling of drowning metaphorically.
(Heart)
(Reiteration of line 33)
Behold the man
(Reiteration of line 1)
He has the skeleton hands
(Reiteration of line 2)
As he awaits his heart
(Reiteration of line 3)
His soul embodied in her
(Reiteration of line 4)
