Lyrics

What's left of me once I leave this world?

Contemplation on the remnants of oneself after departing from life.

Ashes scattered over earth and grass

Imagery of ashes scattered on earth and grass, symbolizing the end.


Flesh and skin went up in smoke

Reflection on the physical body turning into smoke.

Bones and remains powdered

Feelings, emotions; all turned into a pile of dust

The transformation of feelings and emotions into a mere pile of dust.


When the end is near what will be your legacy?

Questioning what one's legacy will be when facing the impending end.

A frozen smile in a picture frame; forever trapped

Envisioning a frozen smile in a picture frame as a lasting legacy.

A voice echoing into oblivion

The idea of a voice fading into oblivion as part of one's legacy.

A distant memory slowly fading away

Describing a distant memory slowly losing its significance over time.


My mind is a stained autumn day

Metaphorical description of the mind as a stained autumn day.

A ground where no seeds bloom

Depicting the mind as an unproductive ground where no seeds bloom.

Haze and fog smother all joy

Referring to haze and fog symbolically smothering joy in the mind.

My mind's lost where my fears loom

The mind being lost in a place where fears loom large.


And If I die tonight it would be filled with discontent

Expressing potential discontent if death were to occur tonight.

But would another day ever feel different?

Pondering whether another day would bring a different feeling.


You've said you are not scared of death

Highlighting someone claiming not to fear death, contrasting with the fear of life left behind.

But you left me so scared of life

The impact of someone else's departure leaving a fear of life in the speaker.
