Death is a Living Partner
Embracing the Inevitability: Death as a Silent Companion
Lyrics
Someone take me down to the river
Desire for someone to take the speaker to the river
And leave no trail for which to return
Wishing not to leave any trace or path to return
Let the muddy water fill my lungs
Willingness to let muddy water fill the speaker's lungs
Fill my lungs
Repetition emphasizing the desire for lungs to be filled
And leave no trail for which to return
Reiteration of the wish to leave no trail for return
Let the muddy water fill my lungs
Repetition of the willingness for muddy water to fill the lungs
Fill my lungs
Reiteration emphasizing the desire for lungs to be filled
Fill my lungs
Further emphasis on the desire for lungs to be filled with water
Fill my lungs
-The invincibility of our youth has just given away
Acknowledgment of the loss of youthful invincibility
(And I hope it does)
Expressing a hope for this acknowledgment
To the inevitability of our death, yeah
Transition from youthful invincibility to the inevitability of death
The invincibility of our youth has just given away
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of lost invincibility
(And I hope it does)
Expressing a hope for this acknowledgment
To the inevitability of our death
Transition from invincibility to the inevitability of death
So don't raise your glass
Repeated insistence not to celebrate or toast
Don't raise your glass
-Don't raise your glass
-Redemption wears a red dress but carries a white flag
Symbolic statement about redemption and surrender
I'll wear that red dress for you
Commitment to wear the symbolic red dress for someone
The invincibility of our youth has just given away
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of lost invincibility
(And I hope it does)
Expressing a hope for this acknowledgment
To the inevitability of our death, of our death
Transition from invincibility to the inevitability of death
The invincibility of our youth has just given away
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of lost invincibility
(And I hope it does)
Expressing a hope for this acknowledgment
To the inevitability of our death
Transition from invincibility to the inevitability of death
So don't raise your glass
Repeated insistence not to celebrate or toast
Don't raise your glass
-Death is a living partner
Statement: Death is a constant companion
A consummate consummate one
Emphasizing death as an absolute and complete companion
A consummate consummate one
-Consummate consummate one
-Consummate consummate one
Reiteration of death being an absolute and complete companion
