Understanding Love As Loss
Navigating Loss: Silent Planet's Poetic Reflection on Love
Lyrics
Searching for solace in a toxic temple
Seeking comfort in a harmful place
Fragments of lead climbing through your head
Feelings of heaviness or burden in the mind
Stones load your coat as you wade through the winter current
Weighted by troubles while navigating difficulties
Dancing with the dead on the riverbed
Engaging intimately with the past or memories of the deceased
Wanton hanging of the wise pale king
Reckless disrespect for wisdom and knowledge
And I see myself
Reflecting on oneself
Here we dream in a bed of seamless sleep
Living in a state of uninterrupted slumber-like dreams
The rain never wakes you from your descent
Continuously descending without interruption from rainfall
Sinking through subtle waves that disguise the current down below
Sinking unknowingly through deceptive challenges
You're pulled in the undertow
Being dragged into a stronger force beneath the surface
Intricate I watched the world dance inside your head
Observing intricacies within someone's mind
Ephemeral everything created must expire
Understanding that everything created has a finite existence
Misery losing hope for a dying world, or did we lose hope in ourselves, my ineffable?
Experiencing despair due to a dying world or loss of hope in oneself
Words lose sound with every fathom, further down
Communication deteriorates as depth increases
Torn between two worlds floundering in a state of metaxis
Feeling torn between two contrasting worlds, in a state of transition
One is waning one is dead
One world fading away, the other already gone
In both we feel too much
Experiencing overwhelming emotions in both worlds
We feel too much
Intensely feeling emotions
Intricate I watched the world dance inside your head
Observing intricacies within someone's mind
Ephemeral everything created must expire
Understanding the transient nature of all things created
Misery losing hope for a dying world, or did we lose hope in ourselves, my ineffable?
Experiencing despair due to a dying world or loss of hope in oneself
Most nights we merge into one dream
Sharing dreams with another frequently
You mouth that four word sundering soundless,
Uttering a statement that breaks connection without sound
But somehow deafening, "I can't go on"
Expressing an overwhelming inability to continue
I'll strain my voice to make you relent, but the tide holds me in my dissent
Struggling to persuade against the overwhelming force of despair
We're bound to each other in the undertow
Bonded together in the powerful force of despair
You were my ineffable
Referencing the ineffable, something beyond words
