Ivory
Reflections Beyond Silence: Unveiling Life's Final Musings
Lyrics
It was a long and silent cry
Expressing a prolonged and quiet expression of pain or sorrow.
She spoke before she died
Communicating verbally before passing away.
I never true knew why
Reflecting uncertainty about the true reason for the situation.
I even tried
Indicating an attempt to understand or resolve the issue.
Then just ivory lips she left
Describing departing lips made of ivory, possibly symbolizing purity or fragility.
To speak the words of the dead
Referring to using these lips to convey messages from the deceased.
And this was what she said, fast losing sight:
Quoting the words spoken by the departing person, losing visibility quickly.
"When the heart does cease to beat
Pondering the duration of the mind's existence after the heart stops beating.
How long must the mind survive?
Raising a question about the survival of the mind after the cessation of the heart.
For only seconds split
Highlighting the brief time between the heart stopping and entering the night, possibly symbolizing death.
Until the night
Suggesting a short interval before the transition to the afterlife.
Or do agony hours ensue
Asking whether painful hours follow, exploring the concept of suffering after death.
To follow the light inside of you
Encouraging the pursuit of inner illumination before the inevitable end.
Until it’s sudden through
Expressing the sudden and inevitable nature of the transition.
Into the blue?"
Describing the destination as "blue," possibly symbolizing a peaceful afterlife.
It was a long and drawn-out sigh
Repeating the initial description of a prolonged and audible expression of sorrow.
I breathed before I died
Stating a personal experience of breathing out a long sigh before dying.
I never true knew why
Expressing uncertainty about the true reason for the situation, mirroring the earlier lines.
She even tried
Noting that someone else also attempted to understand or resolve the issue.
Then just empty eyes I left
Describing departing eyes as empty, possibly symbolizing a loss of vitality or emotion.
To see the world of the dead
Observing the surroundings of the deceased through these empty eyes.
As quietly she fled, out of my sight
Noting the quiet departure of someone out of sight, completing the parallel with the first stanza.
