Remembered
Eternal Embers: Decoding The Dear Hunter's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Left your face on a map
Leaving a lasting impression or impact, like a marker on a map.
Sturdied up boulders and loosened the river
Overcame challenges (boulders) and changed the course of life (river).
To fork where it finds the best
Diverting towards the most favorable path or destination.
Passage
A metaphorical reference to navigating through life's challenges.
Met your life before us
Encountering the experiences and challenges of life.
Left them your necklace
Leaving behind personal belongings (necklace) as a legacy.
And brandished your ashes
Displaying and embracing the remains (ashes) as a symbol of identity.
Like stars peaking out in the gloam
Even in darkness (gloam), the essence of the departed shines like stars.
Envy
A feeling of longing or resentment towards the departed's possessions or qualities.
Every choice that you made
Reflecting on past decisions and their consequences.
Lost before cause had effect found in babel
Actions taken without considering the outcome, discovered in a chaotic situation (babel).
Like pieces of puzzles belong shackled
Comparing life's challenges to interconnected puzzles, bound by fate.
Gave myself to the war
Sacrificing oneself for a greater cause, possibly war or conflict.
Damned if I didn't demand that they sing such a sensible baring of your mystery
Expressing frustration at the demand for a rational explanation of the departed's mystery.
The flame might be gone but the fire remains
While the initial passion may have faded, the essence or impact persists.
And I'm stuck on a path to my own ruin
Feeling trapped on a destructive path, possibly influenced by the departed.
Did you see me behind the wheel?
Questioning if the departed observed the speaker's actions and choices.
Did you see me behind the wheel?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the search for recognition or approval.
And the flame might be gone but the fire
Reiterating that while the visible passion may have diminished, the impact lingers.
