Transition
Depressive Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I await this fall bringing peace after all
I will cross the border, set my life out of order
Dissatisfied from the superficial frame of mind
A magical attraction disperses fear of height
In sudden ecstasy gravity embraces me
Shadows cross my mind, my inner eyes are blind
Avalanches of incredible presentiments
Break walls where I left all reason behind
I am like a bird flying south in winter
But for me it is never to return
I will stop brooding, no remorse at all
Finally time for self deception is past
I enjoy this marvelous trip of my body
My spirit flies to an unknown destiny
In the air suspended I look at what's below
Deadly frightened eyes staring into mine
If there is an entry to a new dimension
Can I make any move or am I just a toy?
Was it intention or who threw the dice?
All I really getting to the bottom of life?
After day will be night, after dark shall be light
Who says that those axioms will ever be right?
Can you tell me where's the place of conception?
Can you tell me where's the place of death?
Who decides what, who, how we will be?
Is there anywhere an ultimate goodbye?
I lift my face, seize the expanse of the sky
Welcome to this journey, destination's free
For a moment it seems I could fly forever
But now I feel how the impact broke my spine
I am like a bird flying south in winter
But for me it is never to return
If there is an entry to a new dimension
Can I make any move of am I just a toy?
Was it intention or who threw the dice?
Am I really getting to the bottom of life?
After day will be night, after dark shall be light
Who says that those axioms will ever be right?
Can you tell me where's the place of conception?
Can you tell me where's the place of death?
Who decides what, who, how we will be?
Is there anywhere an ultimate goodbye?
Can you tell me how to get to heaven?
Can you tell me how to get to hell?
I wanna tell you but my voice grows silent
Maybe when you die you will know it too
The lyrics of "Transition" by Depressive Age explore the concept of mortality and the idea that death can bring peace and freedom from the superficial restrictions of everyday life. The singer expresses a desire to end their life by jumping off a roof, hoping that the fall will bring them peace. They describe feeling a sense of ecstasy as gravity embraces them and they fall, releasing them from the constraints of their body and mind.
As they fall, the singer's thoughts become jumbled and confused, as if they are experiencing a stream of consciousness. They describe seeing shadows and feeling blind, yet they try to cry, only to find themselves laughing. They also talk about breaking down walls and leaving reason behind as they fly like a bird in search of a new destiny.
The song then shifts to a more philosophical perspective, with the singer questioning the meaning of life and the existence of an afterlife. They wonder if there is a new dimension after death, and if they will have any control or if they are simply a toy subject to the whims of fate. They also ponder the concepts of day and night, light and dark, and ask who decides who we are and what we will become. In the end, the singer accepts the inevitable but still seeks answers, asking how to get to heaven or hell, but realizing that the answers may only come after death.

With intend to die I move onto the roof
I go to the roof with the purpose of killing myself
I await this fall bringing peace after all
I believe death will bring me peace
I will cross the border, set my life out of order
I am ready to leave this life behind and embrace death
Dissatisfied from the superficial frame of mind
I am unhappy with the shallow way that people view the world
A magical attraction disperses fear of height
Something mystical helps me overcome my fear of heights
In sudden ecstasy gravity embraces me
As I jump I experience a moment of joy before I hit the ground
Shadows cross my mind, my inner eyes are blind
As I fall, my mind is overwhelmed with darkness and I can no longer see within
Now I try to cry, laughing while I fly
I try to cry, but instead I find myself laughing as I fall
Avalanches of incredible presentiments
I experience waves of intense feelings and emotions as I fall
Break walls where I left all reason behind
I abandon all reason and logic as I fall to my death
I am like a bird flying south in winter
I feel as though I am free like a bird flying towards the unknown
But for me it is never to return
I will never come back from this journey
I will stop brooding, no remorse at all
I will no longer feel regret or sadness about my decision to die
Finally time for self deception is past
I am done lying to myself and pretending everything is okay
I enjoy this marvelous trip of my body
I find pleasure in the physical sensations of falling to my death
My spirit flies to an unknown destiny
I believe my soul will go somewhere unknown after I die
In the air suspended I look at what's below
As I fall I observe the world from a suspended, elevated perspective
Deadly frightened eyes staring into mine
As I fall, I make eye contact with someone who looks horrified
If there is an entry to a new dimension
If there's an alternate plane of existence beyond life and death
Can I make any move or am I just a toy?
Can I impact which plane I end up in or am I at the mercy of fate?
Was it intention or who threw the dice?
Did I choose to die or was it a random event that led to this?
All I really getting to the bottom of life?
Am I truly understanding the meaning of life through my death?
After day will be night, after dark shall be light
There will always be an opposing force for every aspect of life
Who says that those axioms will ever be right?
Who is to say that these universal truths are actually true?
Can you tell me where's the place of conception?
Can you identify the origin place of human life?
Can you tell me where's the place of death?
Can you identify the final resting place of human remains?
Who decides what, who, how we will be?
Who has the power to determine our fate and identity?
Is there anywhere an ultimate goodbye?
Is there a final goodbye before leaving the physical world?
Can you tell me how to get to heaven?
Can you explain the path and requirements to enter heaven?
Can you tell me how to get to hell?
Can you explain the path and requirements to enter hell?
I wanna tell you but my voice grows silent
I want to share the knowledge but I am unable to
Maybe when you die you will know it too
Perhaps the answer to life's mysteries is only revealed in death

Gott im Himmel this song is good. Still good in 2018, and probably 2019 too.
