Requiem
Echoes of Solitude: Orden Ogan's Requiem Unveiled
Lyrics
Watching all these empty faces
Feeling disconnected while observing expressionless faces.
Empty is what I've become
Describing a personal emptiness or void that has taken over.
Everywhere just lonely places
Noticing isolation and solitude in various locations.
Everywhere since you have gone
Expressing a sense of emptiness everywhere since a significant person departed.
The rain pours down on me
Symbolizing emotional distress with the metaphor of rain.
And it will when I'm back in
Anticipating a continuation of emotional hardship in the future.
People in black shake my hand
People offering condolences in a funeral setting.
But I can't even feel my skin
Feeling emotionally numb, unable to sense physical touch.
Life became an endless struggle
Life becoming a constant and painful struggle.
That tears me apart living means to live for
Highlighting the internal conflict tearing the person apart.
But for what without a heart
Pondering the purpose of living without genuine emotions.
On the window there's a fingerprint
Observing a fingerprint on a window as a metaphor for lingering memories.
I watch it 'till the light grows dim
Watching memories until they fade away with the diminishing light.
All my tears they fall on the floor
Tears symbolizing emotional pain falling and accumulating.
In a home you will roam no more
Assuming the departed person is now free from the struggles of life.
Like the rain I fall from
Comparing personal downfall to the falling of rain.
The heights to the ground like the sun I go
Descending from highs to lows, similar to the setting sun.
Down unnoticed without sound
Going unnoticed and unheard in the process of decline.
Every new day is worse than
Describing the worsening of each new day compared to the previous night.
The night was before i will always remember
Recalling a memorable night and the significance it holds.
What this requiem stands for
Reflecting on the meaning and significance of the requiem, possibly tied to the departed person.
