The Voices of the Dead
Haunted by Echoes: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'The Voices of the Dead'
Lyrics
You have seen the soldiers dying
You have witnessed soldiers dying.
And you have survived
You have survived the experience.
Maybe there's a reason why
There may be a reason why you are still alive.
You are still alive
You have moved on to live a normal life.
Now you live a normal life
You have established a family.
Founded a family
Despite the outward normalcy, at night, haunting memories surface.
But in the night you hear them scream
You hear the soldiers scream in agony in your thoughts.
Scream in agony
The echoes of their suffering persist.
You will not sleep tonight
You will experience insomnia due to haunting memories.
Hear the voices of the dead
You hear the voices of the dead in your mind.
They will tell you what is right
The voices guide you on what is morally right.
And will take your breath
They will have a profound impact, taking away your breath symbolically.
You can't escape your fate
You cannot avoid facing your destiny.
Try to hide or try to run
Attempting to escape or run is futile.
Unable to forget
You are unable to forget the actions or experiences.
What you have done
You are haunted by the consequences of what you have done.
What you call your conscience
Your conscience is defined by the voices of the dead.
Are the voices of the dead
The haunting voices are the manifestation of your conscience.
Isolated souls
Isolated souls of the dead cannot find peace.
Which cannot rest in peace
These souls remain restless and unable to rest in peace.
