Lyrics

Death is the beginning

Death is viewed as the starting point.

And from it the next step to eternal life

From death, the transition to eternal life is anticipated.

Free from suffering

Freedom from pain or distress is sought.

Go gently into that good night

A reference to facing death peacefully, quoting a famous poem ("Do not go gentle into that good night").


We can't say what the next world looks like

Uncertainty about the nature of the afterlife.

We can't say what the next world looks like

-

Reincarnation

Exploration of reincarnation and the dormant consciousness existing for millennia, likened to pixels in the atomic universe.

Of the dormant consciousness

-

Laying for millennia

-

Like pixels

-

In the atomic universe

-

We can't say what the next world looks like

Continued uncertainty about the appearance of the next world.

We can't say what the next world looks like

-

All these vibrations

Reflection on vibrations in an infinite world, a wide void, suggesting the enduring nature of rhythmic patterns and the reunion of cold lessons.

In a world infinite

-

Wide void

-

It will always stay in rhythm

-

Cold lessons reunite

-

We don't know when you come back to life

Repeated acknowledgment of uncertainty regarding the return to life.

We don't know when you come back to life

-

We don't know when you come back to life

-

We don't know when you come back to life

-

We don't know when you come back to life

-

What it feels like, what it sounds like

Expressing the unknown sensations of coming back to life – touch, sound, taste – emphasizing the mystery surrounding the experience.

What it tastes like, we don't know

-

What it sounds like, what it tastes like

-

What it feels like

-

We don't know when you come back to life

Reiteration of uncertainty about the timing of returning to life.
