Tears
Desultory Lyrics

Tears from my eyes
Crying uncontrollably

Burning my skin, down on their way
The tears are heavily emotional and physically draining.

Bitter tears
The tears are full of sadness and regret.

Filled with dreams, they flow away
The tears represent dreams that are slowly being lost or disappearing.

I had it all
The artist had a full and happy life at one point.

Like water it slipped between my hands
However, their happiness and contentment were fleeting and disappeared too quickly.

It disappeared
The happiness disappeared suddenly and without warning.

Lonely and cold, abandoned I stand
The artist feels abandoned and hopeless after losing everything.

All I was living for
The artist's purpose and drive for living are now gone.

Now suddenly is gone
The loss of purpose and drive came suddenly and unexpectedly.

All my hopes and thoughts
The singer's hopes and plans for the future are also gone.

That I had were wrong
The artist's hopes and plans were based on false beliefs.

Dreams made my world
The singer's dreams were the foundation of their world and identity.

I raised a wall, with visions filled
The singer built up a wall around themselves with their dreams, as a barrier to the outside world.

Before my eyes
However, the wall and their dreams crumbled before their eyes.

It turned to dust, this lie I've built
The artist's dreams and barriers were based on lies and illusions.

I lay myself down
The artist is giving up and accepting defeat.

I close my eyes, and resign
They are surrendering to their circumstances and losing all hope.

Feelings die
The singer's emotions are numb and dying.

I leave my past far behind
The artist is letting go of their past and any happiness they once had.

So now it seems
The artist is now realizing the full extent of their loss.

Like my tears will never stop to fall
The artist's sadness and regret seem endless and overwhelming.

With tearfilled eyes
The singer is crying so much that their eyes are full of tears.

I watch my dreams just slip away
The artist helplessly watches their dreams disappear and fade into nothingness.

Let me pass
The singer wants to die and leave the pain behind.

Away into eternal sleep
They want to find peace in death and leave their troubles behind.

Greeted by silence
The singer hopes for peace and quiet in death, after a life of chaos and disappointment.

Embraced by darkness, by arms so deep
They expect death to be comforting, like a long, dark embrace from which they will never have to emerge.

I let it go
The artist is finally letting go of everything.

I'm falling weightless, emotion flies
The singer feels like they're floating and becoming free from all negative emotions.

I fade away
The singer is dying and leaving the world behind.

The wind softly moves me as I die...
The artist feels at peace as they are gently taken away by death.
