Eternal Farewell: Unveiling the Profound Poetry of On Broken Wings
Lyrics
Carve out our tongues so we can eat our words
Carving out our ability to speak, so we can consume the consequences of our words.
Choke down swallow what our lies have become
Forcing ourselves to accept and internalize the falsehoods that our lies have evolved into.
The bodies of my friends,
Referring to the deceased bodies of the speaker's friends.
They stand,
Emphasizing that the bodies of the friends are standing, possibly metaphorically portraying their lingering influence.
They move.
Highlighting the movement of the bodies, suggesting that they continue to have an impact even after death.
They're walking while they're dead
Describing the friends as walking, despite being dead, indicating an eerie or supernatural quality.
The stench of rotten flesh,
Describing the unpleasant odor associated with decaying flesh.
Chalk it up to nothing but what's in our eyes.
Attributing the stench to our perception, implying a disconnect between reality and how we perceive it.
We live as ghosts
Living a life that feels insubstantial, like ghosts with little impact or recognition.
Have you smelled my new fragrance yet?

Knowing my life is nothing but a long goodbye
Acknowledging the inevitability of the speaker's life being a continuous farewell or parting.
The ground holds the bodies of the dead

We pass,
Indicating the act of passing by the dead bodies.
People cry,
Noting the emotional response of people, who cry at the passing of the dead.
Then we are forgotten
Expressing the transience of remembrance; once the mourning ends, the dead are forgotten.
The caskets decoratives are lost in the soil as we're rotting.
Describing how the ornamental aspects of burial, like caskets, become buried and lost as the bodies decay.
The end is night
Suggesting an impending conclusion or demise.
You go your way and I'll go mine
Acknowledging the separation of paths between individuals, hinting at divergence or disagreement.
I guess we'll see who was right
Predicting that time will reveal who was correct in their chosen path.
A long goodbye,
Reiterating the theme of a prolonged farewell, emphasizing the prolonged nature of parting.
I'll visit your grave if you see mine
Suggesting a willingness to acknowledge mortality by visiting each other's graves.
We're all the same here with time
Asserting the commonality of humanity in facing the passage of time.
