What's now gone somehow exists

Cant's song Bericht is a melancholic and introspective track that delves into the question of what remains after something has ended. The opening lines "And it's all come down to this, what's now gone somehow exists" suggest a sense of finality and resignation; something has ended, but its impact lingers on. The second line also hints at the intricacies of memory and how even when something is gone, it's not completely erased from existence. The final line, "No one said survive," can be interpreted in various ways. It could be a lamentation of the fact that no one warned the singer of the emotional toll of their situation, or it could be a declaration of their determination to survive despite the odds.
The rest of the song continues this introspective mood as the singer reflects on how things could have been different and the emotional toll of their experiences. The lines "I had to fight / And still can't breathe right" captures the difficulty of moving on from something that left deep emotional scars, while "I was gone, now I feel like a visitor" speaks to the feeling of dislocation that comes with trying to return to a place or experience that will never be the same again.
Overall, Bericht is a nuanced and poignant exploration of the aftermath of loss and the emotional landscapes that can exist long after something has ended.
Line by Line Meaning
And it's all come down to this
Everything has led up to this moment
What's now gone somehow exists
Memories of what is lost still linger and have an impact
No one said survive
There was no guarantee or promise of making it through difficult times
