Lethe River
Journey Through Lethe: Embracing Life's Abyss with Envy Of None
Lyrics
You crossed the line from life to death
You transitioned from the state of being alive to the state of death.
Sharing visions of ghostliness
Sharing experiences of being like a ghost.
In your dreams and in your head
These ghostly experiences occur in both your dreams and thoughts.
So take me down Lethe River
Invoking a desire to be taken to the Lethe River.
Where our hearts start burning and our bodies shiver
Describing the Lethe River as a place where intense emotions and physical reactions occur.
The world grows silent in the truth of it all
Emphasizing a moment of truth where the world becomes silent.
Until the light turns cold and our bodies all fall down
Highlighting a transition to coldness and the falling of bodies.
All fall down
Repetition for emphasis on the falling of bodies.
All fall down
-All fall down
-So break away from the legions of your past
Encouraging a departure from the burdens of the past.
And leave your shadow on the road of emptiness
Leaving a lasting presence on a path that feels empty.
In your dreams and in your head
Similar to line #3, reiterating ghostly experiences in dreams and thoughts.
So take me down Lethe River
Repetition of the desire to be taken to the Lethe River.
Where our hearts start burning and our bodies shiver
Reiteration of the intense emotions and physical reactions at the Lethe River.
The world grows silent in the truth of it all
Reemphasizing a moment of truth and silence in the world.
Until the light turns cold and our bodies all fall down
Repeating the transition to coldness and the falling of bodies.
All fall down
Repetition for emphasis on the falling of bodies.
All fall down
-All fall down
-Lay my body down to sleep
Expressing a desire to rest in the proximity of Hypnos' cave and shattered dreams.
Near the cave of Hypnos and broken dreams
Describing a location where dreams are broken and souls experience sorrow.
Where souls weep
Highlighting a place where souls express grief.
So take me down Lethe River
Repetition for emphasis on the Lethe River, intense emotions, truth, silence, and the falling of bodies.
Where our hearts start burning and our bodies shiver
-The world grows silent in the truth of it all
-Until the light turns cold and our bodies all fall down
-All fall down
-All fall down
-All fall down, down, down, down, down
