Lyrics
I die here within (I die here within)
I embrace death here, undergoing a transformative experience
To be reborn again (To be reborn again)
Anticipation of renewal and a fresh start after death
And I'm somebody new today
Expressing a sense of personal transformation
Free of my sins today
Freedom from guilt or wrongdoing in the present moment
Feels like they're washed away
Emotionally cleansed and purified from past mistakes
A man with no future, a man with no future
Describing oneself as someone without a foreseeable future
What did the thief say onto the hanging man?
Reference to a conversation between a thief and a hanging man
"Here come the hounds, lay your burdens down in advance"
The hanging man is advised to release his burdens before the inevitable
Redemption in the slow grind of chance
Hope for redemption through the unpredictable course of life
My grandmother's hands, the pomp and circumstance
Recollection of the significance of the speaker's grandmother
Free at last!, free at last! A different me at last
Celebrating newfound freedom and a transformed identity
Scattered like an ash, or history that's past
Comparison of oneself to scattered ashes or a forgotten history
Came from nowhere, disappear just as fast
Origins unknown, disappearing as swiftly as they appeared
A life out of balance, a touch out of grasp
Life described as imbalanced, and goals just out of reach
A timetraveler headed to a night catches us
Imagining a journey through time, heading towards a significant moment
The final stop on the line for all passengers
A metaphorical final destination for everyone
I die here within (I die here within)
Repetition of the theme of embracing transformation through death
To be reborn again (To be reborn again)
Reiteration of the desire for a renewed existence
And I'm somebody new today
Continued expression of becoming someone new
Free of my sins today
Emphasizing freedom from sins in the current moment
Feels like they're washed away
Sensation of sins being purged or forgiven
A man with no future, a man with no future
Reiteration of a person with an uncertain future
And I'm somebody new
Declaration of a transformed identity
Free of my sins today
Reiteration of freedom from sins and the feeling of purification
Feels like they're washed away
Sense of sins being washed away, providing a clean slate
A man with no future, a man with no future
Repetition of a person without a clear path forward
