Embracing Mortality: A Poetic Journey through Life's Final Moments
Lyrics
I recall the words from your lips.
I remember the words you spoke.
Your foot against my back.
Your presence pressing against me, perhaps a symbol of control or dominance.
The stairs against my chest.
The stairs metaphorically weigh heavy on my chest, suggesting a burden or hardship.
I remember your footsteps behind me and the rest I've forgotten.
I recall your footsteps following me, but the details have become hazy.
60 seconds to die.
A sense of urgency, possibly facing a critical moment in life.
60 seconds to say my last good bye.
Expressing the limited time to bid farewell or make final statements.
There's a time for remorse and there's a time for dying.
Distinguishing between regret and acceptance of one's fate.
You have no control.
A declaration of lack of control over the situation.
This is my time to live.
Claiming the right to live in the face of adversity.
1000 corners have caressed these tears.
A poetic reference to enduring numerous hardships represented by corners.
1000 tears have comforted these cheeks.
Tears as a source of solace in times of distress.
Even under your words I've said nothing.
Despite your influence, I have chosen silence.
I've laced my lips with wire to keep the words from your ears so that the words I bleed aren't heard and that the blood I speak is unattainable.
Using metaphorical wires to silence oneself, preventing the expression of inner turmoil.
Lets sit down and talk about you and I.
Suggesting a desire for a conversation between two people.
You were a child and I was one also.
Reflecting on a shared past, both individuals being children at some point.
But when it comes down to discussing the times,
Transitioning to a more serious discussion about past experiences.
I've got one thing on my mind.
Focusing on a particular aspect or memory during the discussion.
60 seconds to die.
A repetition emphasizing the limited time for final goodbyes.
60 seconds to say my last good bye.
Reiterating the urgency to express final farewells within a short timeframe.
