When Breath Escapes
Contemplating Life's Closure: When Breath Fades
Lyrics
Now life has ended.
Life has come to an end.
Played all the cards that have been handed.
Exhausted all opportunities or experiences presented.
And now eternity has a whole new meaning,
Eternity takes on a new significance.
With its no end and no beginning.
Eternity is characterized by a lack of both end and beginning.
A heart comes to its last ticking,
A heart reaches its final moments.
Its blood feels like its thickening.
The blood thickens, possibly symbolizing impending death.
And its mind can't stop thinking,
The mind is active with thoughts even in the face of death.
When life flashes before it,
Reflecting on one's life as it nears its end.
Will it like what it sees.
Questioning whether one will be satisfied with their life when it flashes before their eyes.
Or will it wish to have done other things.
Contemplating potential regrets or unfulfilled desires.
And the regret will only add more to the flame's pain.
Regret intensifies the pain of life's flame.
As breath escapes, the heart beats slower.
Symbolizing the slowing of the heartbeat as breath is lost.
Soon, the nightmare will be over,
Suggesting the impending end of a difficult or nightmarish situation.
Or will it just begin?
Pondering whether death marks the beginning of something new.
As once again eternity sinks in.
Eternity resurfaces, implying a cyclical nature of existence.
Life's last strength grips the deathbed below
In the final moments of life, clinging to the last vestiges of strength.
Then digs itself in.
Symbolizing a final, determined effort to face death.
I guess the understanding of life after death
Understanding the concept of life after death in the absence of breath.
Comes with the absence of breath.
Life's meaning after death becomes apparent.
