existed.
Specs of life dissolving into a void which we cannot know.
Dust has covered the planets and the moons' gleam is reflected upon it
For we all are dust of the Earth
Time is fleeting, awaiting a dreaming state and promise of after life
The lyrics of Amiensus's song Deeper Than Blood explore existential themes of life and death, and our place in the grand scheme of the universe. The opening lines, "Dust is crushed mountains and the ashes of everything that ever existed. Specs of life dissolving into a void which we cannot know," suggest a sense of insignificance in the face of the vast expanse of the universe. The image of dust - a symbol of fragility and impermanence - emphasizes the transient nature of life and the human condition.
The second verse continues this theme, as the lyrics describe how "Dust has covered the planets and the moons' gleam is reflected upon it." This image conjures up a sense of the infinite - a reminder that human existence is but a single speck in an unimaginably vast cosmos. The chorus brings it all together with the refrain "For we all are dust of the Earth," emphasizing that despite our apparent insignificance, we are still part of the natural order of things.
The final lines of the song, "Time is fleeting, awaiting a dreaming state and promise of after life," hint at a hope for some kind of redemption or transcendence beyond our earthly existence. The song as a whole encourages listeners to contemplate the fleeting nature of life and our place in the universe, ultimately urging us to find meaning and purpose in the face of impermanence.
