Afterlife
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Afterlife's Promise in The Lucidia Project's 'Afterlife'
Lyrics
Another night to lie myself awake
Struggling to sleep, staying awake
To forget about this world that bleeds me
Trying to escape a painful world
A paralyzing truth about my fate
Realizing a paralyzing truth about destiny
I feel his presence in here
Sensing someone's presence
His shadow came to dance upon my grave
Feeling the impact of someone's influence even after death
He smiled, laughed, and lied through his teeth
Experiencing deception and falsehood from this presence
His handing the closing the book that holds my page
Feeling a closure or finality imposed by this presence
No other answers lie here
Accepting there are no other answers available
This essence never wants me to escape
Feeling trapped by an essence or force
No other seasons left inside
Believing there's no hope for change
Only the faults that dim my mind
Only focusing on personal flaws
He said I'm bleeding all my time
Being told time is wasted
And promised me the afterlife
Given hope or assurance of an afterlife
The afterlife
Repeating the concept of the afterlife
He takes me through the halls of my insight
Guided through introspection
These corridors and walls that blind me
Feeling blinded by one's own surroundings
And freezes all the hurt from this cold life
Experiencing relief from pain or suffering
No other presence finds me
Isolation from other influences
The eternity that lies before me
Considering the eternal nature of existence
I know the answers lie beyond my sight
Understanding answers are beyond current perception
And seek the places where he hides
Seeking understanding in hidden places
No other seasons left inside
Reiterating the absence of hope for change
Only the faults that dim my mind
Continued focus on personal flaws
He said I'm bleeding all my time
Time being perceived as wasted
And promised me the afterlife
Reaffirmation of hope in an afterlife
I fall away from the night and the day
Retreating from the struggles of life
When all my thoughts die from the pain
Thoughts succumbing to pain and hardship
If others fell before me I wonder when I will fall the same way
Wondering about one's own fate in comparison to others
Winter sun will fall past my eyes
Imagery of a declining, cold environment
Winter sun will fall into ice
Reinforcing the idea of a cold and harsh reality
Winter sun will fall past my eyes
Repetition of the image of a declining environment
Winter sun will fall into ice
Emphasizing the freezing or stagnant nature of surroundings
No other seasons left inside
Continued absence of hope for change
Only the faults that dim my mind
Persisting focus on personal flaws
He said I'm bleeding all my time
Reiteration of time being wasted
And promised me the afterlife
Reaffirmation of hope in an afterlife
I fall away from the night and the day
Retreating from the struggles of life, learning the cost
And learn the price I have to pay
Understanding the sacrifice required to leave this world
To walk away from this world where
Noting the darkness in the current world
These northern stars die from these darkened hearts
Recognizing the fading hope in a bleak world
I walk away and then I wonder
Contemplating how far one can go
Can I go this far
Questioning personal limitations
I'll go this far
Determined to push boundaries despite uncertainty
