Monument
Efterklang's 'Monument': Unveiling Emotional Struggles
Lyrics
We turn the bed, a couple
We, as a couple, change our sleeping arrangement
They go to bed alone
Individuals in a relationship sleep separately
A moving quest awaiting
Anticipating a journey or change while in motion
We go to bed alone
Indicating solitary bedtime
Cynical cries for make-up love
Expressing skepticism and desire for reconciliation
Fighting best in the know
Fighting with superior knowledge or awareness
He's in the bed below me
Someone with guilt is in the bed below
A man possessed with guilt
A man consumed by guilt
Oh I'm over it
Expressing being done or fed up
Ah upset
Feeling disturbed or emotionally perturbed
Oh I'm over it
Reiterating the feeling of being over a situation
Ah upset
Emphasizing emotional disturbance
Turn away, turn away, turn away love
Encouraging the rejection of love
They're covering all of the grave
Covering or concealing all aspects of a grave
Move away, move away, move away love
Advising to move away from love
There's something about a prayer
Highlighting something significant related to prayer
Turn away, turn away, turn away ha turn away
Repetition of turning and covering, emphasizing avoidance
They're covering all of the grave
Continuation of covering the grave, suggesting closure
Move away, move away, move away ha move away
Encouraging movement away from love
There's something about a prayer
Reiterating the importance of prayer
Turn away, turn away, turn away ha
Repetition with an emphasis on turning away
(I'm over it)
Reaffirmation of being over a situation
They're covering all of the grave
Continued covering of the grave, possibly symbolic
Move away, move away, move away ha
Encouraging movement away, with emphasis
(Ah)
An exclamation, possibly denoting realization or emotion
There something about a prayer
Reiteration of the importance of prayer
Oh
An expression of realization or understanding
(I'm over it)
Reaffirmation of being over a situation
Ah
An exclamation, possibly expressing emotion
