Ether
Echoes of Desolation: Heaven Slept's Withering Tale
Lyrics
Withering away
Expressing a gradual decline or deterioration
And falling down each every day
Continuously descending or losing ground each day
How'd you get those scars
Inquiring about the origin of visible wounds or emotional scars
Who knows you'll never say
Suggesting a secretive nature, unwillingness to disclose the source of pain
Cause where we are
Describing a state of quietness prevailing in the current situation
It's quiet all the time
Reflecting on missed opportunities or untapped potential
Could've gone so far
Regret over not realizing the full potential, regardless of distance covered
It doesn't really matter now
Conveying a sense of resignation or indifference to past events
Don't know what to say
Expressing a lack of words or inability to articulate feelings
Maybe go reinvent your self
Suggesting a potential for self-reinvention or transformation
Thru the smoke and flame
Anticipating overcoming challenges represented by smoke and flame
I'm sure you'll burn it all away
Confidently predicting the destruction of obstacles
Who can tell right now
Expressing uncertainty about the desire for change
If you even want to change
Questioning the motivation or willingness to transform
You turn help away and
Rejecting assistance and influencing others negatively
Bring everyone down with you
Being a source of negativity, impacting others adversely
And we're drowning along the way
Symbolizing a struggle or difficulty in the journey
Down the drain
Emphasizing the downhill and deteriorating nature of the path
And we're drowning along the way
Reiterating the sense of drowning or overwhelming challenges
Down the drain
Reinforcing the idea of descent and loss
Just look at this place
Observing the current state and its visible consequences
And all the marks of past mistakes
Noting the lasting impacts of past errors or misjudgments
Sure you'll stay the same
Predicting a lack of change, perpetuating mistakes
And keep them trapped by your embrace
Imagining a holding pattern, keeping others entangled in one's influence
Cause where we are
Describing a loud and worsening environment
It's loud and getting worse
Questioning the authenticity of one's thoughts or feelings
Are these thoughts my own
Doubting if thoughts are genuine or merely rehearsed guilt
Or just guilt that you've rehearsed
Swiftly moving through life, overwhelmed by its pace
Racing thru all this
Expressing a cognitive overload due to rapid life changes
The world is moving oh so fast
Indicating confusion and a sense of unfamiliarity
So much in my head cause
Uncertainty about understanding the person due to significant changes
I don't know you anymore
Lamenting the loss of trust, possibly due to betrayal
Trust in you has gone, they're
Portraying a departure from reliability, replaced by fabricated stories
Spun stories, the things you said
Accusing the person of consistently telling falsehoods
You just say your lies and
Highlighting a fracture in relationships, with friends taking sides
All our friends have taken sides
Observing a collective impact on social connections
And we're drowning along the way
Reiterating the struggle and challenges faced
Down the drain
Emphasizing the continued descent and deterioration
And we're drowning along the way
Restating the overwhelming challenges leading to decline
Down the drain
Reinforcing the idea of loss and decline
