Lyrics
The tragedy of life is living it
The inherent tragedy of life lies in the act of living it.
Continuing to march into the void
The continuous progression towards an undefined and seemingly empty destination.
Here grows an emptiness
An emptiness is growing or developing within the individual.
That's only matched
This emptiness is only equaled or surpassed by the void of non-existence.
In non-existence
Comparing the emptiness experienced in life to the absence found in non-existence.
An eternity spent
An endless amount of time spent without realizing one's own mistakes.
Not knowing you were wrong
Living without awareness of being incorrect or misguided.
Now the flame is snuffed
The metaphorical extinguishing of the flame representing life.
And your life is gone
With the flame gone, life comes to an end.
Why is the question
Raising the question of why life exists or why one continues to live.
Nothing is the answer
Providing the answer that in the grand scheme of things, life amounts to nothing.
Continuing to march into the void
A repetition of the theme of marching into the void, emphasizing the inevitability.
From our initial breath
Starting from the first breath taken, the march into the void persists.
Until the light
Continuing the journey until the light representing life fades from one's eyes.
Fades from your eyes
Acknowledging the transient nature of life and its inevitable end.
We were never meant... to be!
Expressing that the individuals were never meant to exist in the first place.
I was nothing before I came here,
Reflecting on the insignificance of one's existence before arriving in this world.
And I'll be nothing when I'm gone! (When I'm gone!)
Reiterating the idea that one will return to a state of nothingness after death.
I was nothing before I came here,
Highlighting the lack of significance prior to existence and after departure.
And I'll be nothing when I'm gone! (When I'm gone!)
Reaffirming the idea that one's existence holds no lasting importance.
