Edge of Despair
Embracing Loss: A Journey Beyond Despair
Lyrics
I have seen my world burn
I have witnessed the destruction of my world
and in the flames of love I saw you burning too
In the intensity of love's flames, I observed your suffering as well
The scorch of the yearning
The intense longing and pain
and the final touch, remains of love
Remnants of love persist even after its end
I offered you my heart and soul for love
I gave everything—my emotions and essence—for love
(for love that we used to have)
Reflecting on the love we once shared
There’s nothing left undone to remind of who we are
No stone unturned in reminding us of our identity
We never change
We remain unchanged despite circumstances
All we used to be… buried underneath every fallen tear at the edge of despair
Our past selves hidden beneath the weight of sorrow at the brink of hopelessness
You’re the brightest day
You represent brightness and hope
One with the autumn’s sway that’ll take you away, away
Your connection to the transient nature of autumn may lead you away
I must face my demons through this downcast life, all the time
I confront my inner struggles in this constantly gloomy existence
And there’s not a single reason why I should save myself from this dismal fate
I find no reason to rescue myself from this bleak destiny
Together in this grief we try to hold our tears
We attempt to restrain our sorrow together
(we grow apart, we’ve lost our love)
We drift apart, losing the love we once shared
It breaks my heart to think we gave our everything
Regretful realization that we gave our all for love
Guess we’re not okay
We are not fine or alright
All we used to be… buried underneath every fallen tear at the edge of despair
Our former selves obscured beneath the weight of tears in despair
You’re the brightest day
You symbolize hope and brightness
One with the autumn’s sway that’ll take you away
Your association with autumn's transience may lead to departure
Gone by the dusk
Vanished as darkness falls
(gone by the dusk)
-You’re one with the fall
You become part of the decline
I never knew
I never anticipated
(I never knew)
-that it feels so cold to be alone in this world
The profound chill of isolation in this world
All we used to be… buried underneath…
Our past selves concealed beneath...
All we used to be, buried underneath every fallen tear at the edge of despair
Our former identities hidden beneath every sorrowful tear on the brink of hopelessness
You’re the brightest day
You represent hope and brightness
One with the autumn’s sway that’ll take you away, away
Your connection to autumn might lead to departure
It’ll take you away
It will lead you away
Away from the edge of despair
Away from the brink of hopelessness
Despair
Hopelessness or extreme sadness
