Ethereal Reflections: Contemplating Life's Endless Cycle
Lyrics
The cold sun hangs around
The sun, though cold, remains present.
I mournfully sing in the dawn
I sing with sorrow as the dawn approaches.
Earthly light shuts down
The natural light diminishes.
I'm here where I don't belong
I find myself in a place where I feel out of place.
A voice behind me whispers low
A voice behind me speaks softly.
My haunting thoughts are strong
My persistent and troubling thoughts intensify.
The world swings in the vile parade
The world is caught up in a corrupt and unpleasant display.
Which none should look upon
A spectacle that no one should witness.
In deep midnight
It is the deep of the night.
I shut my eyes
I close my eyes.
The last human's sound rises up
The final sounds of humanity become audible.
In deep midnight
Once again, in the deep night, I close my eyes.
I shut my eyes
Repetition of shutting eyes, and the last human sounds reoccur.
The last human's sound rises up again
The final sounds of humanity resurface.
I am not a thing of the earth
The speaker identifies as not belonging to the earthly realm.
These heavy tears fall down
Tears fall heavily, expressing deep emotion.
I travel the blind journey
The speaker is on a journey without clear direction.
My life is on the ground
Life feels burdened and grounded.
I grow old by the lake
The speaker ages by a lake, a symbolic location.
My psyche never found
The inner self remains elusive.
Death is weaving the new freedom
Death is crafting a new form of freedom for the speaker.
Watch me slowly drown
There is a sense of slow drowning or sinking.
Again
