You Lie So Beautifully Still
Elegy of Lost Love: Profound Reflections on Change and Longing
Lyrics
Send me down my future
Requesting insight into the future
From your wheel of fire
Describing the future as uncertain and intense
Let me only fly
Desiring to soar on the wings of passion
On your wings of desire
Asking for guidance and inspiration
What happened to that ride
Questioning the disappearance of a promising journey
On your chariot of gold
Recalling a majestic and valuable experience
It had only lasted minutes
Expressing surprise at the brevity of the experience
From the centuries you hold
Reflecting on the vastness of time
What happened to the reign
Questioning the absence of love's influence
The reign of love?
Reflecting on the disappearance of love
Where have all the angels gone
Wondering about the absence of celestial beings
Now the sun's not up above?
Noting the absence of the sun and its symbolic significance
You lie so beautifully still
Observing someone lying peacefully
I can't see you move
Expressing stillness and lack of movement
I want us to be closer
Expressing a desire for closeness
In fifty years or more
Projecting a future where age does not diminish vitality
Getting young not older
Yearning for a return to youthful vigor
Like we were here before
Reminiscing about a past state of being
But your quarters are all sullied
Commenting on the tarnished state of sacred spaces
Your alter boys asleep
Noting the slumber of those dedicated to service
Your priests have drunk the wine
Highlighting indulgence and potential corruption
You meant us all to keep
Stressing the intended preservation of teachings
What happened to the reign
Reiterating the loss of love's influence
The reign of love?
Echoing the absence of celestial guidance
Where have all the angels gone
Pointing to the disappearance of divine entities
Now the sun's not up above?
Noting the absence of the guiding sun
You lie so beautifully still
Observing the serene stillness of a person
I can't see you move
Emphasizing the lack of visible movement
What happened to the reign
Repeating the questioning of love's disappearance
The reign of love?
Reiterating the absence of celestial beings
Where have all the angels gone
Expressing the void left by the missing sun
Now the sun's not up above?
Observing the serene stillness of a person (repeated)
You lie so beautifully still
Emphasizing the lack of visible movement (repeated)
I can't see you move
I'm not saying your dead
Clarifying the observation as not implying death
I just think you've changed
Suggesting a transformation or change in the person
You lie so beautifully still
Repeating the observation of peaceful stillness
I can't see you move
Emphasizing the lack of visible movement (repeated)
