Death Is The Diamond
Eternal Echoes: Death's Dance in Julie Byrne's Melody
Lyrics
Blue dawn of night, go on
Expressing a desire for the blue dawn of night to continue
I've been missing you now with my whole life
Longing for something or someone throughout one's entire life
Does my voice echo forward?
Questioning whether one's voice has a lasting impact or influence
Alive, if only for a speck
Being alive, even if only for a tiny moment or particle
My actions, all that I possess
One's actions and possessions define their existence
And if need be I will carry your death wish
Willingness to carry the burden of someone else's desire for death
Back into the arms of this rare life
Returning to the embrace of life, despite the weight of death
My back to your back
Symbolic representation of closeness or intimacy
This has been no easy religion
Acknowledging that the path followed has not been an easy religious journey
Written, braided, lived and tried
Highlighting the comprehensive nature of the journey, encompassing writing, braiding, living, and trying
Let the sun goes down
Expressing a desire for the sunset
I don't want to feel anything but the moving ground
Yearning to feel only the stability of the ground beneath, avoiding emotional disturbances
Death is the diamond
Emphasizing the significance and beauty of death
Watched to you ride on horses across the plains
Observing someone riding horses across vast plains
I guess sometimes, it doesn't always happen when you're trying
Acknowledging that certain experiences may not occur when actively sought
But when you leaving, it comes on the out
Suggesting that the emotional impact of departure becomes apparent later
Sign on Caravan East reads, "For you, anything"
Describing a sign on a caravan, expressing a willingness to do anything for someone
I guess it's a story so much greater than our own
Reflecting on a story larger and more significant than one's individual narrative
Alive, moving through dusk
Being alive and moving through a period of transition, possibly twilight or metaphorically
Alive, if only once
Being alive, even if just once, emphasizing the preciousness of existence
You make me feel like the prom queen that I never was
Feeling elevated and cherished, akin to the experience of a prom queen
Let the sun go down
Expressing a desire for the sunset (repeated from line 12)
I don't want to feel anything but the moving ground
Reiterating the wish to feel only the stable ground, avoiding emotional turbulence (repeated from line 13)
Death is the diamond
Reaffirming the profound significance and beauty of death (repeated from line 14)
Watched you riding horses across the plains
Observing someone riding horses across vast plains (repeated from line 15)
I guess sometimes
Reiterating that certain experiences may not happen when actively sought (repeated from line 16)
It doesn't always happen when you're tryin'
Acknowledging that some experiences occur unexpectedly or naturally (repeated from line 17)
Ohh, but when you're livin' it comes on out
Highlighting the inevitability of facing and expressing emotions when actively living
