My Friend
Journey to the Beyond: Finding Peace Beyond Demons
Lyrics
You took a trip down to the place right by the sea
You visited a place near the sea.
Stood by the border as your hair blew in the breeze
Stood at the border, feeling the wind in your hair.
So many nights when only demons you could see
Nights filled with inner struggles and negative thoughts.
Jumped in the water so your demons could be free
Took a plunge into the water to liberate yourself from your inner demons.
Well you’re never gonna have your moment
You may not achieve a significant moment in life.
And you’re never gonna fall in love
You might not experience romantic love.
But I know you’ll be looking down from up above
Despite that, the speaker believes you'll be watching from the afterlife.
Goodbye my friend
Farewell to the friend.
But this is not the end
This is not the ultimate end; there's an afterlife or better place.
You’re going to a better place now
You're transitioning to a superior realm.
You’re going to a better land
The destination is a better land.
I said goodbye my friend
Reiterating the farewell to the friend.
I know we can’t pretend
Acknowledging the impossibility of pretending otherwise.
Even though I’m gonna miss you
Expressing the inevitability of missing the friend.
I know I’m gonna see you again
Confident about meeting the friend again in the afterlife.
Endless troubles fly like ghosts among the trees
Challenges and difficulties are pervasive but unseen.
Your weight’s so heavy, but not a thing that we could see
Your burdens are significant but invisible to others.
Your mind’s a shadow as you live off memories
Your thoughts are overshadowed by memories.
But even the happiest run out eventually
Happiness is finite, even the happiest moments.
When you’re feeling stone cold sober
In moments of complete sobriety, feeling distant.
And your mind is running wild
Mind wandering uncontrollably.
I feel I never really got to know ya
The speaker feels they never fully understood you.
Goodbye my friend
Repeating the farewell to the friend.
But this is not the end
Emphasizing that this departure is not the end.
You’re going to a better place now
The friend is moving to a better place.
You’re going to a better land
The better land awaits in the afterlife.
I said goodbye my friend
Reiterating the farewell to the friend.
I know we can’t pretend
Acknowledging the impossibility of pretending otherwise.
Even though I’m gonna miss you
Expressing the inevitability of missing the friend.
I know I’m gonna see you again
Confident about meeting the friend again in the afterlife.
When you woke up upside down
Waking up to a disorienting and challenging situation.
And the world wouldn’t let you go
Feeling trapped as the world seems unyielding.
Was there nowhere left for you to turn?
A sense of despair, with seemingly no options left.
Goodbye my friend
Repeating the farewell to the friend.
But this is not the end
Emphasizing that this departure is not the end.
You’re going to a better place now
The friend is moving to a better place.
You’re going to a better land
The better land awaits in the afterlife.
I said goodbye my friend
Reiterating the farewell to the friend.
I know we can’t pretend
Acknowledging the impossibility of pretending otherwise.
Even though I’m gonna miss you
Expressing the inevitability of missing the friend.
I know I’m gonna see you again
Confident about meeting the friend again in the afterlife.
