Lyrics

Oh

Expression of acknowledgment or realization

Vanitas will tell my story

Life's fleeting nature will be the narrative

Remember death, memento mori

Remembering death, a reminder of mortality

Wandering disoriented through my abyss

Lost and confused in one's own emptiness

I can't save myself

Unable to rescue oneself

I can't blot out my pain

Unable to alleviate one's suffering

I can't take this searching anymore

Feeling exhausted by constant searching

I'm lonesome without a purpose to hold on to

Loneliness due to lacking a meaningful purpose

I drag myself across the floor

Struggling through hardship

I feel numb but I'm in pain

Feeling emotionally detached but experiencing pain

Ignoring what's left of me or what I became

Disregarding one's current state or identity

Everyday I tried to keep up

Attempting to maintain despite internal chaos

With the mess that I am

Acknowledging one's own disorder or imperfections

Beginning to feel my decay

Starting to feel the onset of deterioration

It just began

Realizing the beginning of a decline

When I'm gone

Reference to the end of one's existence

Don't try to save me (Save me)

Discouraging others from trying to rescue

Cause after all

No help can revive or save

No one can wake me

Emphasizing the inability to be awakened

Vanitas will tell my story (Story)

Life's transient nature depicted in narrative

Remember death, memento mori

Reiteration of the theme of mortality awareness

I breathe in

Sense of suffocation or constraint

Can't breathe out

Struggling to find release or freedom

Caught in this tragedy

Trapped in a tragic circumstance

Bearing the agony

Bearing intense pain and suffering

My demons dragging me down

Internal struggles pulling one downward

I can't stand the pace

Unable to cope with the intensity

Somebody set me free

Repeated plea for liberation or salvation

Somebody set me free

-

Somebody set me free

-

I can feel my life fading away

Sense of life slipping away

Unendurable pain is running through my veins

Experiencing unbearable pain

When I'm gone

Reiteration of impending end

Don't try to save me (Save me)

Advising against rescue efforts

Cause after all

Reinforcing inability to be revived

No one can wake me

Repetition of life's transient nature

Vanitas will tell my story (Story)

Reiteration of mortality awareness

Remember death, memento mori

Emphasizing the recurring theme of mortality

Vanitas will tell my story (Memento mori)

-

Remember death, Memento mori

-

Memento mori

-

Levitating of the ground

Sense of being suspended between extremes

Close to heaven yet, hell-bound

Feeling close to both heaven and hell

I'm fainting 'cause I'm about to face my maker

Anticipating confronting one's creator

Oh

Reiterated anticipation of facing death

'Cause I'm about to face my maker

-

Eargh

-

'Cause I'm about to face my maker

-

When I'm gone

Discouraging any attempts at rescue

Don't try to save me (Save me)

-

Cause after all

-

No one can wake me

-

Vanitas will tell my story (Story)

Reiterating the narrative of mortality

Remember death, memento mori

-

When I'm gone

Repeated discouragement from rescue

Don't try to save me (Save me)

-

Cause after all

-

No one can wake me

-

Gasping for my very last breath

Struggling for final breath

All that remains is an empty hourglass

Symbolic of time's end, emptiness remains
