The Ending
Embracing Life's Twilight: Mystic Strangers' Poetic Revelation
Lyrics
When I was young
Reflecting on youth
I've been told
Received advice
That I should be looking forward to the sun
Anticipation of a positive future
But now I know
Changed perspective
That is not the answer
Rejecting previous beliefs
Cleaning rust
Metaphor for dealing with decay
Falling fast
Descending rapidly
Breaking all the things that I don't like
Acting against disliked things
But now I know
Realization of consequences
That the time is running
Awareness of time passing
I was laying with the death
Mention of a close encounter with death
I don't know it seems the end is coming
Sense of impending conclusion
I'll wait until the…
Incomplete expression, anticipation
I was playing by her side
Recalling moments with someone
It's all right I know the death is coming
Acceptance of approaching death
I'll wait until the end
Preparedness for the end
When I was young
Repetition of the theme of youth
I've been told
Recollection of previous advice
That I should be looking forward to the sun
Similar to line 3, revised meaning
But now I know
Reiteration of changed perspective
That is not the answer
Rejecting previous beliefs reaffirmed
Shaking dust
Metaphor for shaking off past
Turning fast
Turning away swiftly
Leaving all the things that I don't mind
Leaving behind indifferent things
But now I know
Realization of time's passage reiterated
That the time is running
Awareness of time's relentless flow
I was laying with the death
Repetition of the encounter with death
I don't know it seems the end is coming
Reiteration of impending conclusion
I'll wait until the…
Anticipation and unfinished expression
I was playing by her side
Recollection of playing alongside someone
It's all right I know the death is coming
Acceptance of death's inevitability
I'll wait until the end
Preparedness for the ultimate end
I was laying with the death
Repetition of laying with death
I don't know it seems the end is coming
Reiteration of impending conclusion
I'll wait until the…
Anticipation and incomplete expression
I was playing by her side
Recollection of being alongside someone
It's all right I know the dead is coming
Acceptance of the coming of death
I'll wait until the end
Preparedness for the conclusive end
