Dead Actor's Requiem
Final Bow of Liberation
Lyrics
It´s time to leave the stage
It's time to exit the spotlight and leave the challenges of life.
In this theatre of pain
Life is portrayed as a painful theatrical performance.
To let go of all the rage
To release all pent-up anger and emotions.
When all scenes have been played
When all life experiences and roles have been fulfilled.
The final act concluded
The final scene of life has reached its conclusion.
The curtain falls for one last time
The metaphorical curtain falls for the last time, marking the end of life.
And outside the crowed still cheers
Despite the end, the external world continues, and people celebrate.
There'll be no encore this time
There will be no repetition or extension of life; this is the definitive end.
Weep away all your tears my friend
Encouraging others to mourn and express their grief.
We will meet again someday
Belief in a future reunion in another existence.
But this time, there'll be an end
Emphasizing that this reunion will mark the ultimate conclusion.
To this play I called my life
Referring to life as a play and signaling its final act.
Leaving the stage, smash the mask
Symbolically removing the facade and revealing one's true self.
An actor dead, a human being
Acknowledging the dual nature of existence as an actor and a human.
On the ground, a final gasp
Describing the last breath and the final moments of life.
The doors are opened wide
Signifying the opening of doors to an unknown afterlife.
The air perforated by the rain
Describing the atmosphere filled with sorrow and tears.
Outsied is conquered silently
Outside world being silently subdued by the departure of a pain-free soul.
By a soul who's free of pain
Emphasizing the freedom from suffering in the afterlife.
The actor left the stage
Confirming the actor's departure from the stage of life.
