December's Cold Embrace: Unraveling the Melancholy of ALTAR
Lyrics
December got colder
December represents a cold and difficult time.
The moment I let you down
Expresses regret for a specific moment of disappointment or failure.
Unsound descent
Descent into an unsettling emotional state.
Halfway there and heaven sent
Halfway to a goal, feeling divinely guided.
The loudest when you left
The most intense emotions occurred during departure.
Your final words were deafening
Parting words were extremely impactful.
Now they're a part of me
The impact of those words is now ingrained in the speaker.
More than a memory
More than just a memory, the experience remains alive.
Forever part of me
The memory is a permanent part of the speaker.
Now you're apart from me
The person is now physically distant.
When I'm gone
Reflecting on the impact after departing.
Will you remember how
Questioning if the other person will recall the coldness of December.
December got colder
Reiteration of the coldness in December.
The moment that I
A moment of letting the other person down.
When I'm gone
Pondering if the memory will persist after departure.
Will you remember how
Reflecting on the coldness of December after leaving.
December got colder
Acknowledging the moment of disappointment.
The moment that I let you down
Recalling the instance of letting the other person down.
We crawl, we bend, we break
Struggling, adapting, and breaking under pressure.
We live like martyrs just to die in vain
Living sacrificially, facing a futile end.
Now alas, the cruelest fate
Expressing the harsh destiny of never seeing the person again.
To speak your name and never see your face again
Speaking the person's name without seeing them.
Why do you scream how could you do this to us?
Questioning and expressing anger at the departure.
You left her in the rain
The person left in difficult circumstances.
And watched her turn to rust
Witnessing the deterioration of the person left behind.
Do you think melodramatic disgust
Questioning if strong emotions hide pain under the guise of disgust.
Is a guise for pain
Wondering if melodrama conceals genuine pain.
If you call it love?
Asking if the departing person truly called it love.
Fuck your chemical heart
Rejecting a love tainted by artificial emotions.
You call this love?
Challenging the authenticity of the love expressed.
Do we really all die alone?
Philosophical reflection on the inevitability of individual death.
If you're really there
Questioning the existence of a higher power or connection.
How will I ever know?
Expressing uncertainty about recognizing a divine presence.
If the seas be our graves
Contemplating death and its impact on the environment.
And the earth feeds off our bones
Symbolic connection between the seas, earth, and mortality.
Well..
A pause or hesitation in thought.
When I'm gone
Reflecting on the coldness of December after departure.
Will you remember how
Pondering if the other person will recall the coldness of December.
December got colder
Reiteration of the coldness in December.
The moment that I
The moment of letting the other person down.
When I'm gone
Reflecting on the coldness of December after leaving.
Will you remember how
Acknowledging the moment of disappointment.
December got colder
Recalling the instance of letting the other person down.
The moment that I let you down
The lingering impact of disappointing the other person.
