Burning Bodies
Surviving the Apocalypse: A Tale of Loss and Desolation
Lyrics
Everything you've ever known
Reflecting on the destruction of everything known.
Has been burnt to the ground
Expressing the complete destruction of familiar surroundings.
It's like nothing you've ever seen
Describing a situation beyond ordinary experience.
Burning bodies all around
Portraying a grim scene with numerous burning bodies.
You're the only survivor
Highlighting the listener as the lone survivor.
Everyone you love is dead
Conveying the loss of all loved ones.
The end of time is here
Suggesting the end of the world.
But the suffering has just begun
Contrasting the apparent end with the beginning of suffering.
No hope for your friends and family
Emphasizing the hopelessness for friends and family.
They lay in this pile of bodies
Depicting the tragic sight of deceased loved ones.
The putrid smell of death fills the air
Describing the unpleasant odor of death surrounding the scene.
From this pile of burning bodies
Reiterating the image of a pile of burning bodies.
No hope for your friends and family
Reemphasizing the hopelessness for friends and family.
They lay in this pile of bodies
Reiterating the tragic sight of deceased loved ones.
The putrid smell of death fills the air
Repeating the description of the unpleasant odor of death.
From this pile of burning bodies
Reiterating the image of a pile of burning bodies.
Taste of burnt skin in the air
Introducing the sensation of burnt skin in the atmosphere.
The whole world had gone up in smoke
Indicating a global catastrophe with the entire world in flames.
All your memories are turned to ash
Expressing the transformation of memories into ashes.
You're the last man on earth
Acknowledging the listener as the last surviving human.
No one but you on this cruel world
Emphasizing isolation with no other living beings.
It's just you and this pile of burning bodies
Reiterating the solitude, surrounded by burning bodies.
This can't be real
Expressing disbelief in the reality of the situation.
This has to be a dream
Questioning the surreal nature, possibly hoping it's a dream.
I can't help but as myself why
Pondering the reason behind such a tragic fate.
Why you deserve to die
Expressing a sense of questioning the deservedness of death.
