Lyrics
When I go, what will I take to the grave?
When contemplating death, what possessions or memories will accompany me to the grave?
When I go, what will you save?
As I depart, what aspects of me or our relationship will you choose to preserve?
When I go, what comes next?
What unfolds after my departure?
When I go, what way's best
Considering the inevitability of death, what is the best way to navigate this journey?
'Cause all we don't know could fill all of space
The vast unknowns in life could encompass the entirety of space.
And all we really have is this place
Our true possession is the present moment, our existence in this place.
We're all blood and bones, just rivers and stones
We share a commonality in our humanity – blood and bones – akin to the interconnectedness of rivers and stones.
And the air that we breathe is just the sigh of the trees that I know
The air we breathe carries the collective exhalation of trees, a shared symbiosis with nature.
When I go, what will I take to the grave?
Reiterating the contemplation of possessions that will accompany me in death.
When I go, what will you save?
What aspects of our connection will endure beyond my departure?
When I go, what comes next?
Exploring the uncertainties of what follows after the end of life.
When I go, what way's best
Considering the optimal path or choices for the journey into the unknown after death.
Cause everything that I see could just be a dream
Questioning the reality of everything perceived, acknowledging the transient nature of existence.
And we're so damn afraid of losing everything
Expressing the pervasive fear of losing all that is cherished.
And for all that it's worth we just go back to the earth
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of life, where everything returns to the earth.
And the same rules apply for all the birds in the sky
Asserting the universality of life's rules, applicable to both humans and the birds in the sky.
And all the stars when they die
Reflecting on the shared fate of stars, which, like us, eventually cease to exist.
When I go, what will I take to the grave?
Repeating the consideration of possessions or memories to take to the grave.
When I go, what will you save?
Asking what elements of our connection will be deemed worthy of preservation.
When I go, what comes next?
Continuing the contemplation of the uncertainties that follow the end of life.
When I go, what way's best?
Revisiting the inquiry into the best course of action for the journey into the unknown after death.
