Good Death
Embracing Eternity: A Poetic Journey Beyond Life's Horizon
Lyrics
I'm tired of the city
I feel exhausted by the urban environment
Take me somewhere pretty
Yearning to be in a beautiful place
Lay me in a flower bed
Desire to lie in a bed of flowers
Pour some dirt on my head
Symbolic act of burial with dirt on the head
Cause I'd like to meet my bloodline
Expressing a wish to connect with family heritage
Reach out and touch the coastline
Desire to reach and experience the coastline
And my folks would celebrate
Anticipation of a positive reaction from family
No mourning at the wake
No sorrowful feelings at the funeral
A good death
Desiring a dignified and positive end
A final breath
Expressing the idea of a peaceful final moment
When I go I won't regret
No regrets about life when facing death
A good death
Reiteration of the desire for a positive death
These cabin floors are creaking
Noticing sounds in a cabin, possibly related to spirituality
Almost sounds like angels singing
Comparing creaking sounds to angelic singing
Flying low to take my hand
Imagining angels guiding towards the afterlife
Lead me to the promised land
Desire to be led to a promised and peaceful place
A good death
Reaffirmation of the desire for a good death
A final breath
Reiteration of the peaceful final breath
When I go I won't regret
Emphasizing the absence of regrets in death
A good death
Repeating the aspiration for a positive death
I've come to fear the darkness
Expressing a fear of the unknown or death
And I've wondered if I can stop it
Questioning the possibility of avoiding death
But the water laps the shore
Observing the calming nature of water on the shore
And I've sat beneath a sycamore
Reflecting on moments spent beneath a sycamore tree
A good death
Reiteration of the desire for a positive death
A final breath
Repeating the idea of a peaceful final breath
When I go I won't regret
Stating the absence of regrets in facing death
A good death
Reiteration of the desire for a good death
When I go I won't regret
Emphasizing the absence of regrets in facing death
A good death
Repetition of the aspiration for a positive death
A good death
Final affirmation of the desire for a good death
