Has came back to dine with us

Anguish has returned, and the speaker suggests its presence at a shared meal.

We must prepare the table cloth

Made of tears and dust

The table cloth represents a mixture of sorrow (tears) and decay (dust).


Wait for the hourglass to stop

Waiting for a significant moment, possibly a metaphorical representation of time.

But don't waste your wishes on more sand anymore

Caution against futile efforts, advising against wasting wishes on more time.


Crawling to a new state of unconscious fears

Transitioning into a state of unconscious fears, possibly inspired by solitude.

I need music to survive, creativity to live

Expressing a personal need for music and creativity as essential for survival.

When solitude announces its malignant presence

Solitude is described as a negative force, announcing its presence in a harmful way.

No more will to fight, just another song to write

Lack of motivation to fight, replaced by a desire to channel emotions into songwriting.


Everyone need to open wide their eyes

Encouragement for awareness, urging people to open their eyes to reality.

People need to stop from going towards their demise

A plea to avoid self-destructive paths and prevent impending doom.

We only have to tear down the walls we are setting to ourselves

Advocacy for breaking down self-imposed barriers to achieve personal growth.

Or the circle will not end

Warning that without breaking barriers, a cycle of negativity will persist.


Thou deserve to dine with the gods

Addressing someone deserving of a divine experience, possibly based on their journey.

At the end of the journey

Suggesting a positive outcome or reward at the end of life's journey.

But what if there hasn't been no journey at all?

Raising the question of whether the journey has even taken place.

So what would be the odds?

Raising doubts about the probability of a journey if there has been none.


Concrete fears and plastic nightmares occupy my field of vision

Concrete fears and plastic nightmares dominate the speaker's perspective.

No respect for anything except for your own profit

Criticism of a lack of respect, especially when motivated by personal gain.

The man, once a diamond, has turned black

Just wait for a moment now

Encouragement to pause and reflect on life's brevity.

And think

A call to contemplate one's life and choices.

Our life is too short for malice

Life is too short to harbor ill will, suggesting the importance of positive emotions.

Or depression or anxiety

Mention of the negative impact of depression and anxiety on life's quality.

If our mind is free from pain

We can overcome every border

Emphasizing the potential to overcome obstacles if the mind is free from pain.

To save us from those reapers

Alluding to overcoming existential threats represented by "reapers."

Our mind must be in order

Highlighting the necessity of mental order to protect against threats.


But you became one with your shadow

A metaphorical transformation into darkness, losing oneself in negativity.

And now you are lost

The consequence of becoming lost in one's negative aspects or shadows.


Please don't cry so much my friend

Comforting a friend, discouraging excessive sadness, acknowledging their celestial nature.

Because you are made of stars

Reminding the friend of their cosmic essence, symbolized by stars.

And stars are made of eternity

Stating that stars, and by extension the friend, are eternal.

And when this vile race will be no more

We'll be part of the everything again
