Vanish in the Absence of Virtue
Eloquent Desires and Disillusionment: The Tale of Vanishing Virtue
Lyrics
I spoke so well that evening
I expressed myself eloquently that evening
I sang so well of light
I performed a song that glorifies light
Wish I may wish I might
Expressing a desire, possibly a longing or hope
Have this wish I wish tonight
Expressing a wish for the current moment
The more we sang of wonders
As we talked about extraordinary things
The more we drank our wine
As we consumed alcohol
Suddenly a ghost appeared
A sudden appearance of something supernatural
The clock sang number nine
A symbolic moment, possibly a turning point at 9 o'clock
We spoke from end of table
Conversation from one end of the table to the other
His majesty, the chief
Referring to an important or authoritative figure
You shall take what you deserve
Encouragement to claim what one deserves
From comfort and relief
From a state of ease and comfort
This words combined with manhood
Combining spoken words with maturity
In alcohol entwined
Intoxication with alcohol affecting perception
Made all the saying into jokes
Transforming serious statements into humor
And good eyes into blind
Positive qualities becoming unnoticed or disregarded
I tried to taste their warfare
Attempting to understand their conflicts
My lips could barely move
Difficulty in expressing oneself, possibly due to intoxication
When I did as much as I could do
Performed to the best of abilities to fit in
To fit into their groove
Trying to adapt to their lifestyle or expectations
But as it proved impossible
Facing challenges in meeting their demands
To satisfy their needs
Unable to fulfill their expectations or desires
I solved my little problem
Found a solution to a personal dilemma
And accomplished all my deeds
Successfully completed personal goals
For I spoke so well that evening
Reiterating eloquence in speech from earlier
I sang so well that night
Reiterating excellence in singing from earlier
Wish I would
Expressing a desire again
Wish I could be swallowed
Expressing a wish to be embraced or consumed by someone's light
By your light
A final longing or wish to be surrounded by light
