Lyrics
Heard the sound of shuffling feet
Perception of approaching death, symbolized by the sound of shuffling feet.
Sweeping across the floor
Death's presence sweeping across the floor, emphasizing its inevitability.
The presence of decay
Awareness of decay, a metaphor for the deterioration of life and vitality.
When death is at your front door
Confrontation with mortality as death is metaphorically depicted at the front door.
So I found the strength
Discovery of inner strength to confront the unknown and face mortality.
To see to the other side
Transition to the afterlife or another realm, crossing to the other side.
And there I found a letter
Encounter with a letter, suggesting a message or communication from the beyond.
Right before my eyes
Immediate visual confirmation of the message, emphasizing its significance.
And nothing was quite the same
Profound impact on the individual, with a notable shift in perception and experience.
Love beyond the grave
Repeated expression of a love that transcends death, emphasizing its enduring nature.
Love beyond the grave
-Love beyond the grave
-Love beyond the grave
-I fell in love with the verse
Falling in love with the verse, suggesting a deep emotional connection to the message.
The words crept across the page
Words coming to life on the page, conveying a powerful and vivid experience.
I felt so alive
Intense emotional response, feeling alive but also experiencing an unsettling strangeness.
But I'd never felt so strange
Ambivalence in emotions, juxtaposing vitality with an unusual sense of unfamiliarity.
So I break away
Decision to break away from the intense emotions stirred by the message.
The message burned in my heart
The message leaving a lasting impression, metaphorically burned into the heart.
Took my fingers
Action of physically engaging with the letter, touching the pages.
Unto the pages and tore the letter apart
Tearing the letter apart, symbolizing a rupture in the connection with the beyond.
Love beyond the grave
Reiteration of the enduring nature of love beyond death despite the tearing apart.
Love beyond the grave
-Love beyond the grave
-Love beyond the grave
-Love beyond the grave
Continued emphasis on the transformative power of love transcending death.
Love beyond the grave
-Never quite the same
Acknowledgment that life is never quite the same after the profound encounter.
Love beyond the grave
Repetition of the idea of love beyond the grave, reinforcing its lasting impact.
What is in a name?
Rhetorical question pondering the significance of a name in the context of eternal love.
Love beyond the grave
Final affirmation of the enduring nature of love beyond death.
Love beyond the grave
