Aborning
Embracing Life's End: Aborning's Profound Reflection on Existence
Lyrics
Wake up
Awakening or realization
There is progress to be made
Acknowledging the existence of tasks or goals
Educated and raised
Having acquired knowledge and upbringing
Just to meet our fate
Life's journey leading to an inevitable destiny
Like the sun rises every morning,
Comparing life's regularity to the sunrise
We all die, We all die aborning
Emphasizing the universal inevitability of death
In a world unconquered
Existing in a world that is unconquered or unexplored
We fall, we crawl, we slumber
Experiencing setbacks and challenges
If I am honest to myself
Acknowledging one's true feelings
I won't face my final day
Facing the truth and not avoiding the end
My grave is in my head
Reflecting on mortality as an internal struggle
We're all born dead
Highlighting the existential condition of being born with an eventual death
We are bounded - but the world is not big enough for all of us
Feeling constrained by societal or personal boundaries
We're all born dead, We're all born dead
Reiterating the universal aspect of being born into mortality
Like the sun rises every morning
Continuing the analogy of life's cycle with the sunrise
Until dawning
Until the beginning of a new phase
We all die aborning
Reaffirming the inevitability of death
Funiculus umbilicalis
Referring to the umbilical cord as a metaphor for dependency
Like ropes, around our throats
Symbolizing the ties that can be constricting or limiting
The pain will end
Expressing hope for relief from pain
We're becoming
Undergoing transformation or change
Becoming earth again
Returning to the earth, symbolizing the cycle of life and death
