If You Go Before Me
Echoes of Departure: A Poetic Journey Through Life's Transience
Lyrics
Dearest ones in an eye of a star life is brief
Life is fleeting like a star's twinkle.
A speck of dust from grass to leaf
We are insignificant in the grand scheme, transitioning from tiny elements to larger forms in nature.
If on the ascendant your soul arises
If your soul progresses positively,
And doesn't contradict what your esence extemporises
And aligns with your inherent nature without contradiction,
I've been the hermit and the love thief
The singer has experienced solitude and love, enduring pain as a consequence.
And paid for the privilege with tears of grief
He has suffered, having paid a price for these experiences.
Which soon by nature circumcises
Nature naturally heals or removes the pain.
This song will be brief
The song will be concise.
One day in the spring a question fell
At some point in spring, a profound question affected the singer deeply.
And went straight through me
The question pierced the singer's being.
Do bleeding angels sing when close to tears?
The singer wonders if angels, in pain, express their agony through song.
I need the answer
The singer seeks an answer to this question.
So if you go before me would you let me know?
The singer requests information if a loved one passes away before them.
If you go before me would you let me know?
This request for information is repeated.
One day in the year a bullet screamed
Another impactful event, a violent incident, occurred at a certain time of the year.
And ripped straight through you
The violence directly affected someone close to the singer.
And I saw the sun begin to bleed
The environment was deeply affected, symbolized by the bleeding sun.
Above a flood of tears and sirens
The scene was chaotic, with tears and emergency sirens.
And are spirit's colour blind?
Questioning whether spiritual beings perceive color as humans do.
So if you go before me would you let me know?
Similar to earlier, the singer asks for information if a loved one passes away first.
If you go before me would you let me know?
A repetition of the plea for knowledge regarding the passing of a loved one.
