Millions
Abernethy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is anybody gay

Wishing to a mirror inside a room where people pray

To be cast away in shame


Is anybody ill

Been drinking from a reservoir that sinks through unmarked graves

To a flaming broken heart



Millions, millions

Have died for art



Does love it come but once

Or many times like everyday a new light touches us

With its ancient Grecian lust and burn



Is death as cold as ice

And does it hurt the way it hurts to hate yourself alone

Well, nobody knows



Millions, millions

have died for art



God has bouquet in his beard and a rose in his doom

Who's purple, who's violet





It's like parting dark from shadow

Overall Meaning

The song Millions by Abernethy delves into deep questions about life, death, and the meaning of existence. The song seems to explore themes of isolation and exclusion, with lines like "Is anybody gay, wishing to a mirror inside a room where people pray, to be cast away in shame".

The song also touches on the idea of mortality and the afterlife. The lines "Does love come but once, Or many times like everyday a new light touches us, With its ancient Grecian lust and burn" hint at the fleeting nature of love and the question of whether it can be experienced multiple times or only once in a lifetime. Abernethy suggests that there is something ancient and eternal about love, likening it to the "Grecian lust and burn" of ancient times. The lines "Is death as cold as ice, And does it hurt the way it hurts to hate yourself alone, Well, nobody knows" raise important questions about death and the afterlife. The song is suggesting that death is mysterious and painful, but ultimately unknown.


Overall, Millions by Abernethy is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of some of life's deepest questions. It touches on themes of isolation, exclusion, mortality, and the search for meaning in a world that can often feel confusing and chaotic.
