Pyre
Embracing Sleep Amidst the Pyre: Exploring Birdsong's Profound Journey
Lyrics
Our eyes refuse to rest
Restlessness is evident in our eyes, refusing to close.
And show no sign of closing
The eyes continue to stay open, showing no indication of closing.
The longest night is met
The longest night is confronted or faced.
With breaking light (approaching)
Despite the darkness, there is the anticipation of approaching light.
We tread grounds that hold our weight But seeds of dread are flowering Can our will survive?
We navigate grounds that bear our weight, but anxiety is growing. The question arises if our determination can endure.
Or will the fire below devour it
There's a threat from below, symbolized by fire, questioning if our determination will be consumed.
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre
Only with a specific person can the singer find solace in sleep, as inner struggles persist. Demons metaphorically lurk beneath.
(But will you join me in the fall?)
A call for companionship in facing challenges and uncertainties.
And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre
An observation that someone is losing a battle, with the light fading from their eyes, yet the symbolic pyre still burns brightly.
Behind these eyes I know
The singer has insight behind their eyes, acknowledging a torn love tainted with heartache.
The love they bear is torn with heartache Will the world forget my name
Anxiety about being forgotten by the world and everything accomplished being erased or replaced.
And all I've done be erased?
A plea to open one's eyes, possibly indicating a desire for clarity or understanding.
Replaced?
The fear of being replaced or forgotten persists.
Prise my eyes awake
Desperation to stay awake or alert.
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre
Similar to line 7, finding solace in sleep with a specific person, acknowledging inner struggles.
And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre
Reiteration of someone losing a fight, with the light fading, but the symbolic pyre still burning brightly.
Hold me close
A plea to be held close, preventing the loss of something cherished.
Don't ever let me lose
An earnest request to not let go of what is loved the most.
The thing I love the most
An acceptance or suggestion to let the embers of something fade away or die.
Let die the embers
A final call to allow the fading or extinguishing of the remaining warmth.
