Eternal Embers: Unveiling Heartbreak in 'Naenia' by It Dies Today
Lyrics
Ignite the funeral pyre,
Expressing a desire to start the funeral fire.
And let's close the casket lid on everything.
Suggesting closure by sealing the casket on all aspects of the past.
On this institution and on every memory burn it all in effigy.
Advocating for the destruction of institutions and memories, symbolically burning them.
Let's watch it burn.
Encouraging the act of witnessing the symbolic burning.
Fell into the depths of a broken heart again,
Describing the experience of falling into emotional distress.
And I'll die alone, but I get lost in your eyes,
Expressing the inevitability of dying alone while captivated by someone's eyes.
And I can't help but feel like I'll never find love there again.
Feeling a sense of hopelessness about finding love again.
Dressed in white you mourned nothing,
Describing someone in mourning attire without genuine grief.
As you led the procession with a smile.
Highlighting a contradiction where the mourner leads with a smile.
There was no eulogy given,
Noting the absence of a eulogy due to the difficulty in finding positive words.
For no kind words could be conjured up this time.
Explaining the challenge of conjuring kind words during this particular occasion.
No not a single word of praise had escaped from your lips.
Emphasizing the absence of any praise spoken by the mourner.
On that day, there was no more need
Pointing out that on that day, there was no need to fabricate positivity.
To conjure up things that made things seem ok.
Reflecting on the futility of creating illusions to make things seem okay.
Fell into the depths of a broken heart again,
Reiterating the experience of falling into emotional distress.
And I'll die alone, but I get lost in your eyes,
Expressing a recurring theme of dying alone and the captivating power of someone's eyes.
And I can't help but feel like I'll never find love there again.
Reiterating the sense of hopelessness in finding love again.
As you walk on, ash falls like snow.
Observing the aftermath of destruction, comparing falling ash to snow.
Can you express regret? Or just let a smile show.
Pondering whether regret can be expressed or if a smile is the only response.
Please just walk on.
Encouraging to keep moving forward despite the emotional turmoil.
Don't respond, I already know.
Suggesting not to respond as the speaker already knows the answer.
Fell into the depths of a broken heart again,
Repeating the experience of falling into emotional distress.
And I'll die alone, but I get lost in your eyes,
Reiterating the recurring theme of dying alone and being captivated by someone's eyes.
And I can't help but feel like I'll never find love there again.
Reiterating the feeling of hopelessness in finding love again.
