Ephemeral Descent: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'Sodus Void'
Lyrics
With hope that this wasn't how you'd leave us
Expressing a wish that the departure wasn't in such a manner.
It's still cold. Is this what the future brings us?
Reflecting on the current cold state and questioning if it's indicative of the future.
Without the sun the reason drowns and now you're gone
Highlighting the impact of the absence of hope (sun) and acknowledging the departure.
I saw what it held but never found the light
Perceiving what the future holds but unable to find illumination or clarity.
You're one with the clouds, there's still no help
Feeling isolated and helpless like being one with the clouds.
You were forced to give up alone in the poison arms
Describing a situation where the person had to surrender alone in a harmful environment.
However far the fall was down still wasn't far enough somehow
Despite a significant fall, it wasn't sufficient, indicating a sense of inadequacy.
With every tear fell a sense of peace
Associating a sense of peace with every tear shed.
I still thought that this wasn't how you'd leave us
Reiterating the disbelief that the departure occurred in this way.
Without the sun the reason drowns and now you're gone
Repeating the impact of the absence of hope and acknowledging the departure.
I saw what it held but never found the light
Perceiving the future but unable to find clarity or enlightenment.
You're one with the clouds, there's still no help
Continuing to feel isolated and helpless like being one with the clouds.
You were forced to give up alone in the poison arms
Describing a situation where the person was compelled to surrender alone in a harmful environment.
How was the fall to the other side?
Reflecting on the nature of the fall to the other side, questioning its experience.
I wonder what the feeling is like
Expressing curiosity about the emotional state on the other side of the fall.
