Lyrics

Our ashes spread over this town

Reflecting on the aftermath of a life, symbolized by ashes, scattered throughout the town.

Empty bodies laying in the ground

Describing lifeless bodies lying in the ground, possibly representing the consequences of a significant event.

We got by in a world we lost track of time in

Nostalgically recalling a past era where time was lost or not valued.


All your pictures still unchanged

Memories captured in pictures remain unchanged, suggesting the persistence of the past.

You left lines for us to trace

Departed individuals leave traces for the living to follow and remember.

Just alive to be gone now I know why our time ends

Realizing the purpose of life now that it's over, implying a newfound understanding.


We're all so delicate

Highlighting the fragility of life and the vulnerability of human existence.

Carried in the wind with trails of dust behind us

Metaphorically portraying life as a journey, leaving trails of dust behind as a mark of our transient presence.

Is this everything life means

Pondering the existential question of whether this is the entirety of life's meaning.


With only moments to spare

Emphasizing the brevity of life, with only fleeting moments available to us.

Understand nothing is fair

Acknowledging the lack of fairness in life, accepting its complexities.

Accept the depth and the dirt and the chance to be nothing

Accepting the profound aspects of life, including its depth, challenges (dirt), and the opportunity to embrace insignificance.


We're all so delicate

Reiterating the delicate nature of human existence and its susceptibility to external forces.

Carried in the wind with trails of dust behind us

Reinforcing the metaphor of life as a journey, leaving trails of dust as a symbolic legacy.

Is this everything life means

Persistently questioning whether the depicted experiences encompass the entirety of life's meaning.


We're all so delicate

Repeating the theme of human fragility and the transient nature of our existence.

Carried in the wind with trails of dust behind us

Continuing the metaphor of life's journey, emphasizing the impermanence denoted by trails of dust.

Is this everything life means

Reiterating the existential query about the completeness of life's meaning.


Our ashes spread over this town

Recalling the scattering of ashes, signifying a cyclical reflection on life's consequences.

Empty bodies laying in the ground

Echoing the image of lifeless bodies, emphasizing the impact of events on individuals.

We're alright with this world we lost track of time in

Expressing a resigned acceptance of a world where time is lost or disregarded, possibly indicating a repeated cycle of neglect.

We're alright with this world we lost track of time in
