Farewell
Elysium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To this toxic despair
In the endless shade of grey
All alone you'll stare
Through the window of end
Naked truth now strikes again
Suicide
Bleeding heart
Shall beat no more
Follow now
Empty pages of your life
Burned inside
Razor blade is all that you've found
You've tried all
But nothing was gained
Sanity's lost
You've tried it all
In vain
Travel in solitude
Dead passion trip
You're passing away
With fear in cold eye
This is now
Fucking dead point of your life
You're broken and hollow
As bitter grain hurts
And frost hits blind mind
It seems you're lost
With stone tears in your eyes
You're tearing down the unseen wall
And you're killing yourself again
And again
The lyrics to Elysium's song Farewell are about someone who has hit rock bottom and is contemplating suicide. The first stanza sets the tone of despair and hopelessness, describing the singer as being in a toxic and endless shade of grey. The phrase "naked truth now strikes again" implies that this person has been struggling for a while, but is now facing the harsh reality of their situation. The second stanza is more direct, mentioning suicide and the end of the person's bleeding heart. The third stanza describes the person's futile attempts to fix their life and find meaning, but ultimately coming up short. The last stanza is the most tragic, as the person is passing away with fear in their cold eye, torn down the unseen wall, and killing themselves "again and again."
