Eternal Choices: Unveiling Shadows in Murder Afloat's 'Sayonara'
Lyrics
Different worlds breed different people
Different worlds foster diverse individuals.
Am I good or am I evil
Questioning whether one's nature is virtuous or malevolent.
I'll only ask for a little bit
Asking for a small amount, a modest request.
Trapped in memories
Feeling confined by past recollections.
It's hard to admit that nothing lasts forever
Accepting the difficulty of acknowledging impermanence.
When you said "always", did you mean it
Questioning the sincerity of a promise of eternity.
I didn't realize I'd lost my light until you jumped over my wall
Realizing a loss of personal illumination upon someone's departure.
And brought me back to life
Someone's return has revitalized the speaker.
To life
Emphasizing the revival or return to life.
And brought me back to life
Reiterating the impact of someone's return.
But will my renewed lungs take the air from you
Concern whether the speaker's recovery will harm the other person.
I fear my shadow is plagued
Expressing a belief that the speaker's influence is negative.
Am I forever cursed to bring you down, too
Worrying about being a perpetual source of downfall for the other.
My soul will always be with you
Declaring an eternal connection despite circumstances.
You beg to shine your warmth against my paled skin
Desire for someone's warmth despite feeling inadequate.
And, oh, how sweet it feels to want to wake up again
Finding solace in the desire to rejuvenate and start anew.
But I can't escape the fact my dark is not worth your light
Feeling unworthy of someone's positivity due to personal darkness.
The poured ink from your pen were an epilogue
Comparing written words to a conclusion or finality.
And, still, I choose death
Choosing a path of self-demise despite external influence.
Our book will always end the same
Believing in a predetermined, unchangeable ending.
I still choose death
Reaffirming the choice of self-destruction.
I still choose death
Reiterating the persistence of the choice of self-destruction.
