Phantasm
Ethereal Reflections on Life's End: 'Phantasm' by Life on Venus
Lyrics
My dear friend
Expressing familiarity or closeness with the addressed person.
What if I told the world will end
Suggesting a revelation about a catastrophic event.
Today
Indicating immediacy, as if the world-ending event is imminent.
Hold my hand
Seeking connection or support in the face of impending doom.
It will destroy the things we love
Highlighting the destructive impact on both beloved and disliked things.
And hate
Suggesting a dual nature of the impending disaster, encompassing both positive and negative aspects.
It's a dream
Introducing a dreamlike or surreal dimension to the situation.
Everything goes as supposed to
Describing the dream scenario where everything unfolds according to plan.
And the steam
Referencing a symbolic "steam" that distorts perception or reality.
Is blurring its lines to expose you
Suggesting that the distortion reveals the true nature of the addressed person.
Here we stand
Placing the characters in a shared position or circumstance.
Bodies no longer can contain
Indicating that physical bodies are inadequate to contain the expanding thoughts or emotions.
Our minds
Emphasizing the dominance of the intellectual or emotional aspect.
In the end
Referring to an ultimate outcome or conclusion.
There will be nothing left for us
Predicting a state of emptiness or lack of substance in the end.
To hide
Suggesting a loss of hiding places or secrets.
It's a dream
Reiterating the dreamlike scenario where events unfold as expected.
Everything goes as supposed to
Re-emphasizing the distortion of reality through the symbolic "steam."
And the steam
Reinforcing the idea that the distortion reveals the true nature of the addressed person.
Is blurring its lines to expose you
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or a brief pause in the narrative.
