Epitaph
Unveiling the Dust: A Poetic Journey Through Life's Dissolving Problems
Lyrics
You couldn't see past all the smoke
You couldn't see through the confusion and difficulties.
Screening the problems one by one
Addressee is addressing problems one by one.
Til they dissolve
The problems are disappearing or resolving.
Into nothing more than grains of sand
Issues are reducing to insignificant elements, losing importance.
Forming the grounds on which I stand
The foundation of the speaker's existence is formed from these resolved issues.
Oh I'm sure you meant well
Despite challenges, the speaker believes the addressee had good intentions.
Hope you're satisfied
The speaker questions if the addressee is content or fulfilled.
Know that in the corners
Even in hidden or unnoticed places, memories of the addressee persist.
I still see you in my eyes
The speaker still perceives the addressee in their thoughts or memories.
I couldn't get past all that dust
The speaker faced difficulty navigating through obstacles and challenges.
Settling on the lids that conceal, cover up
Dust symbolizes obscurity or concealment, hindering understanding.
Consolations of an epitaph
The consolation and comfort found in a memorial or commemoration.
Read aloud by those less apt
Others, less capable, recite the epitaph aloud.
Oh I'm sure you meant well
Similar to Line 6, reiterating the belief in the addressee's good intentions.
Hope you're satisfied
A repetition of the hope that the addressee is content.
Know that in the corners
Reiteration that memories of the addressee persist in hidden places.
I still see you in my eyes
Continued perception of the addressee in the speaker's memories.
All the greens have wilted
All positive elements have faded away, leaving only negative aspects.
Only reds remain
The only remaining emotions are intense and passionate (reds).
Know that in the skyline
Assurance that the addressee will be remembered in significant places.
They'll be writing out your name
A prediction that the addressee's name will be commemorated.
They'll be writing out your name
A repetition emphasizing the enduring remembrance of the addressee.
