Armageddon
Embracing Light Amid Farewell: Armageddon's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
I wrote the lyrics on the back of a photograph
Behind your back, it goes
The creation was done secretly or without someone's knowledge
A little something like this
Describing the nature of the song
It's way to big to miss
The song's significance is substantial and hard to overlook
I got a letter in the mail
Received a letter in the mail
The sender failed to let me know where it came from
Uncertainty about the sender's identity or location
Opened it up and sure enough
Opened the letter and found a shared memory
There we were arm in arm again
Recalling a past intimate connection with someone
I know it's small but my last call's been called a half an hour ago
Feeling insignificant, realizing the last contact was a while ago
I know it's late, but do you think you could at least fix it for me?
Asking for help, possibly mending the relationship
Then I'll go, I'll go alone, I swear I won't tell a soul
Expressing willingness to face challenges alone without revealing details
I'll drink this beer and write in fear of a song everybody hates
Turning to alcohol and expressing fear of creating an unpopular song
Armageddon, let the light in
Mention of "Armageddon," suggesting a catastrophic event or climax
Before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
Seeking meaning or purpose before parting ways
Armageddon, we're not begging for too much I don't think
Not asking for much, just a farewell kiss before a downfall
Just need a goodbye kiss before we sink
Desiring a last gesture of affection before a decline
I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
Repetition of the act of writing lyrics on a photograph
Behind your back, it goes
Reiterating secrecy or concealment of the creative process
A little something like this
Repeating the description of the song's significance
It's way to big to miss
Emphasizing the substantial nature of the song
I got a letter in the mail
Receiving another letter with uncertain origins
The sender failed to let me know where it came from
Similar to line 6, questioning the source of the letter
Opened it up and sure enough there we were up in arms again
Rediscovering a past conflict or disagreement
Armageddon, let the light in
Repeating the mention of "Armageddon," calling for enlightenment
Before we say goodbye, give us something to believe in
Reiterating the desire for meaning before parting ways
Armageddon, we're not begging
Expressing a modest request before a potential crisis
For too much I don't think, just a goodbye kiss before we sink
Repeating the plea for a farewell kiss before a decline
We sink
Emphasizing the impending decline or downfall
Armageddon, let the light in
Reiterating the call for enlightenment or understanding
Before we say goodbye, give us something to believe in
Repeating the desire for meaning before parting ways
Armageddon, we're not begging
Reiterating a modest request before a potential crisis
For too much I don't think, just one last salute before we sink
Asking for a final salute before a decline
