All Dark Graves
Eternal Decay: Unveiling the Profound Cycle of Life and Death
Lyrics
Shovels pierce the horizon bridging the barrier
Shovels symbolize the act of burial, piercing the horizon and connecting the living and the deceased.
Between what's and what's deceased
Describes the separation between the present and the dead.
And the symbiotic nature of all that's between
Refers to the interconnected relationship between all entities, living and dead.
No matter who or what lies 'neath
Highlights the universal nature of decay, irrespective of the identity of the buried.
Life carries on above unphased by the everlasting
Life continues above, unaffected by the ongoing decay beneath.
Absence of the slowly rotting
Describes the perpetual absence left by the decaying matter.
Delving deeper, darkness falls, corrosion sets in
Introduces the descent into darkness and the onset of corrosion as life unravels.
As life begins to fall apart
Life starts to disintegrate and fall apart.
Shapeless beings call forth to be one with them
Shapeless beings yearn to merge with the decomposing matter, seeking immortality.
Achieving immortality through the process of decomposition
Immortality is achieved through the natural process of decomposition.
The selfish request of a treacherous host
Addresses the selfish desire for immortality from a host undergoing decay.
Everything does take life, even the earth must feed
Emphasizes the idea that everything, even the earth, requires sustenance from life.
Approaching the barren wasteland
Approaching a desolate area with no distinguishing features.
Nothing to set one space from another
Uniformity in the barren wasteland makes one space indistinguishable from another.
Lungs collapse from lack of air
Lungs collapse due to the absence of air in the lifeless expanse.
Digestion has started
Symbolizes the beginning of digestion, perhaps metaphorically referencing the consumption of life.
There is no turning back
Signifies a point of no return, emphasizing irreversibility.
Atomization occurs forcing fragments
Atomization occurs, breaking down matter into fragments.
Of the former in opposite directions
Former entities disintegrate in opposite directions.
Some upwards through to the surface
Some fragments rise to the surface.
And others into the abyss
Other fragments descend into the abyss, destined to be forgotten.
To be forever forgotten
Emphasizes the perpetual oblivion of certain fragments in the abyss.
For life will carry on above
Life continues above, indifferent to the forgotten fragments below.
