Tabloid Obituaries: Echoes of Infamy in Void Dancer's Melodic Odyssey
Lyrics
Long winded
Expressing verbosity or tediousness in communication.
I dredge through the debauchery
Navigating through excessive indulgence and immoral behavior.
Cancer second hand from ugly crowds
Contracting cancer indirectly from unpleasant and disorderly crowds.
The plumes of smoke and the debris
Observing the aftermath of destruction caused by smoke and debris.
I see the paths of ascension
Aware of potential paths to improvement or enlightenment.
But I have been conditioned to see
Conditioned to perceive paths not meant or suitable for oneself.
The paths not intended for me
Recognizing paths that are not intended or suitable for personal growth.
Stick your neck out and spread your name
Encouraging boldness and self-promotion, but facing the consequences of shame.
Can't deal, just hang your head in shame
Unable to cope, choosing to feel ashamed and hanging one's head.
Into the guillotine
Metaphorically entering a situation of severe punishment or criticism.
This path not intended for me
Rejecting a path that brings undesired consequences.
Write me out of a false history
Requesting exclusion from a fabricated or distorted historical narrative.
I am headed to the grave for an afterlife of infamy
Embracing the prospect of a posthumous reputation marked by dishonor.
Canonized in misery
Being sanctified or glorified in a state of suffering or hardship.
I did not deserve the unrelenting stream of slander
Expressing a sense of injustice in receiving relentless slander.
Rolling off the tongues of propaganda fiends
Slanderous statements proliferated by those promoting biased information.
The spin of earthly rotation will void me of indecency and leave my name where it was Meant to be
Believing that the natural course of events will restore justice and honor.
Strange times, misunderstood in this life
Feeling out of place and misunderstood in the current circumstances.
Forgotten / obscured
Being intentionally disregarded or obscured, leading to being forgotten.
No control how the author will remember me
Lack of control over how the author will be remembered by others.
I'm canonized in sympathy
Being glorified or revered in a state of compassion or understanding.
Have mercy on my soul
Pleading for mercy on the speaker's soul.
I'd rather be forgotten
Expressing a preference for being overlooked or forgotten.
But somethings I don't control
Acknowledging a lack of control over certain aspects of life.
In time you will forget my name
Predicting that over time, the speaker's name will be forgotten.
With time you can erase the
Highlighting the potential to erase or diminish the impact of time.
Short hand of
Referencing the brief summary or representation of a passive, dreary life.
This passive life of dread
Encouraging remembrance despite the difficulties and challenges faced.
Remember
They'll love you when you're dead.
Anticipating posthumous admiration, suggesting recognition increases after death.
