Demise
Contemplating Existence: Reflections on Fate & Identity
Lyrics
Mother of mine
Expressing a personal connection to a maternal figure
Answer this question
Pose a philosophical question about the afterlife
Where do I go when my body dies
Seeking guidance on where one's consciousness goes after death
And father of time
Addressing a paternal or temporal figure associated with time
Where do I sit in the book of creation
Questioning one's place in the grand scheme of creation
The book of life
Referring to a symbolic "book of life" containing one's destiny
I can feel the terror crawl beneath my skin
Expressing a sensation of fear crawling under the skin
And the pressure begins to set
Sensing the onset of pressure and stress
I can't escape, this is my fate
Feeling trapped and resigned to a predetermined fate
Do you hear the nightmare calling my name
Noticing a haunting presence in dreams or thoughts
Hidden in the daylight, coming after me
Highlighting a threat hidden in ordinary life
And nothing in this world will ease my mind
Emphasizing the inability to find solace or peace
Cause all these thoughts lead to my demise
Reflecting on thoughts leading to one's downfall or destruction
Mother of earth
Addressing a maternal figure associated with the earth
Tell me your secrets
Seeking profound knowledge or understanding
Give up the age of the universe
Asking for insights into the age and mysteries of the universe
And father of sleep
Calling for an awakening from a state of unawareness
Awaken me
Desiring to overcome a feeling of insignificance
Give up this feeling that I'm nothing
Experiencing fear and a struggle to accept one's existence
I can feel terror crawl beneath my skin
Reiteration of fear crawling beneath the skin
And I can't begin to embrace my existence
Expressing difficulty in acknowledging one's existence
I can't escape, this is my fate
Feeling trapped and acknowledging a predetermined fate
Do you hear the nightmare calling my name
Noticing a haunting presence in dreams or thoughts (repeated)
Hidden in the daylight, coming after me
Highlighting a hidden threat in ordinary life (repeated)
And nothing in this world will ease my mind
Emphasizing the inability to find solace or peace (repeated)
Cause all these thoughts lead to my demise
Reflecting on thoughts leading to one's downfall or destruction (repeated)
So I'll bring everything around me
Expressing a decision to bring everything down into chaos
Down into this hell as I burn
Describing a descent into a metaphorical or literal hell
For now, I'll try to move forward
Expressing a determination to move forward despite challenges
Facing my life with the wind and the fire ablaze
Facing life with elements symbolized by wind and fire
I realize I lost myself
Realizing a sense of loss in one's journey
Somewhere along the way
Acknowledging a deviation from one's true self along the way
If I could have just one thing
Expressing a desire for an additional day in life
I'd ask for one more day
Expressing a regret or wish for more time (repeated)
So now that I know
Acknowledging an awareness of a situation or truth
I can't let go
Recognizing an inability to release or move on
Feel it falling faster
Sensing a rapid decline or deterioration
It's too late to try
Realizing that it's too late for attempts at change
It's do or die
Highlighting a critical moment of decision or action
For the life hereafter
Expressing a recognition of consequences in the afterlife
