Bed of Smoke
Whispers of a Fading Kingdom: Lukas Ferdinand's Bed of Smoke
Lyrics
I came upon a kingdom and I watched it fade away
I witnessed the decline of a kingdom that eventually disappeared.
I saw it burn to ashes in the flame
The kingdom burned down to ashes in a fire.
I watched you being lowered
I observed someone being lowered, possibly symbolizing a downfall.
Put down in chains and choke
A person was placed in chains and choked.
Down in the bed of smoke
This person experienced a challenging situation, described as a "bed of smoke."
I stumbled on a beating heart and I heard it softly weep
I came across a vulnerable and emotional person.
I heard it bursting out, break in my sleep
The emotional person expressed their feelings, disrupting the speaker's sleep.
I listened to your cries as every piece of it turned broke
The speaker heard cries as everything fell apart.
Down in the bed of smoke
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the challenging and tumultuous experience.
Hallelujah, peace of mind is all we seek
Expressing a desire for peace of mind.
Although our lies may cast a shadow on the weak
Acknowledging that lies can negatively impact the vulnerable.
In the end I think we all will see the joke
Suggesting a realization or revelation that may bring humor or understanding.
Down in the bed of smoke
Reiterating the challenging experience mentioned in lines 5 and 9.
I felt her floating mind drift off in a sailboat built for two
Describing the drifting away of someone's mind, possibly due to a relationship.
I felt it sailing off with someone new
Indicating the departure of emotions or affections to someone new.
I waited for the time to stop as you swept me in your cloak
Waiting for a moment to stop, perhaps hoping for a pause in emotional turmoil.
Down in the bed of smoke
Reinforcing the difficult situation mentioned in lines 5 and 9.
Hallelujah, peace of mind is all we seek
Repeating the desire for peace of mind.
Although our lies may cast a shadow on the weak
Highlighting the impact of lies on the vulnerable, as in line 11.
In the end I think we all will see the joke
Reiterating the potential for a shared understanding or humor.
Down in the bed of smoke
Emphasizing the challenging experience in the "bed of smoke."
Hallelujah, peace of mind is all we seek
Expressing the ongoing quest for peace of mind.
Although our lies may cast a shadow on the weak
Reflecting on the impact of lies on the weak, echoing lines 11 and 19.
In the end I think we all will see the joke
Suggesting a shared realization or understanding, similar to lines 12 and 20.
Down in the bed of smoke
Reiterating the challenging experience in the "bed of smoke."
Down in the bed of smoke
Repeating the description of the difficult situation.
Down in the bed of smoke
Concluding with a final mention of the challenging "bed of smoke."
