Lyrics

Life is what we think we have, a fleeting sigh and a dusk

Life is perceived as a fleeting and transient existence, akin to a sigh and dusk.

Just like the leaves at fall, someday I'll sink

Similar to leaves falling in autumn, the speaker anticipates sinking or facing inevitable decline.

Now I see the dew of dawn, after a while I'll watch the sun give in

The speaker observes the dawn's dew and foresees the eventual surrender of the sun.

Much time has passed and I'm still empty, I'm like a moulted skin

Despite the passage of time, the speaker feels empty, akin to discarded skin after molting.

Ooh, Ooh Ooh Ooh, Ooh

These lines are repetitions of vocalizations (Oohs) that convey emotional intensity or expression.

Ooh, Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh, Ooh

Live just like everyone else and no one will remember you

Living an ordinary life may lead to being forgotten, as an individual is just one among seven billion.

Just one more of seven billion, with no distinction at all

People are mass-produced, lacking distinction and significant contributions to human life.

Mass-produced, bred to die

Individuals are bred to die, suggesting a lack of unique purpose or impact.

With no significative contribution to human life

No meaningful contribution is made to human life by those mentioned.

From sperm to dust

Life is portrayed from the beginning (sperm) to the end (dust), emphasizing the brevity of existence.

With nothing in-between

There is nothing significant between birth and death.

What if there isn't anything

Contemplation on the possibility of nothingness after the challenging experience of life.

After this hell called life?

Ruminating on whether life's hardships lead to an existence beyond death.

Simple plain life with a simple plain death

Life and death are depicted as plain and simple, lacking distinction.

If you hadn't been born, life would still be the same

Speculating that life would remain unchanged if the individual had never been born.

Right before you die (You'll see your whole life)

Before death, one reflects on their entire life, anticipating a sense of disgrace.

And what you'll see will be the same disgrace

Anticipating a negative outcome or realization during the final moments of life.

Something is trying to stand

Something mysterious obstructs the speaker's path, beckoning them to another realm.

In my way

-

It is summoning me

To take me somewhere else

Something is trying to stand

In my way

-

It is summoning me

-

To take me somewhere else

-

A life that came will I just stood still

Reflection on a fleeting life, expressing a desire for eternal rest and questioning the finality of existence.

It left as fast as it (Arrived)

I will enter my eternal rest at last

I wish that this is the end (For real)

A life that came will I just stood still

It left as fast as it (Arrived)

I will enter my eternal rest at last

I would wish that this is the end (For real)

-

From now on, my body falls into an infinite spiral

The speaker faces uncertainty and struggles along a challenging path, acknowledging an unknown future.

My eyes see no future and I wait... for eternal darkness

-

Although light's been turned off I see myself leaving

-

So I realise my mind is intact and my hope is not

-

Dead!

-

I try to run, but it feels like something is pulling me back

-

The path ain't clear, I can barely see a silver lining

-

The more I pass, the more uncertainty becomes my hope

-

But I know that this is not the end

-

The path that death doesn't follow

Reference to a path untouched by death, hinting at a mysterious and unexplored afterlife.

Whining for mercy as it claims me back

The path of death

-

The path of death

The path of death

The path that death doesn't follow

Mysterious plane the undead hide

It's not the end

I'll live again

I'll reawake

Go!

A command to move forward or persevere despite challenges.

Simple plain life with a simple plain death

Repetition of earlier themes, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life, death, and the search for meaning.

If you hadn't been born, life would still be the same

Right before you die (You'll see your whole life)

-

And what you'll see will be the same disgrace

-

Something is trying to stand

-

In my way

-

It is summoning me

-

To take me somewhere else

In my way

Ah!
