Epilogue
Entropy. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Written in streamlines
Said in forgotten prayers
A devotion to an open wound
It burns
A vacancy lay still in me
Silence is steady
My arms ache with the pain of wanting you back
The fire that you left
It slowly dims.
I guess it's time I leave too
Cause I know
You've always been my antidote
The lyrics to Entropy's song Epilogue are a hauntingly beautiful depiction of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The opening line, "These words beg themselves," sets the tone for a contemplative, introspective piece. The words are described as written in streamlines, suggesting a certain fluidity and ease of expression, but they are also said in forgotten prayers, implying a sense of futility or hopelessness. The singer is deeply devoted to an open wound - a wound that represents the pain of lost love.
The burn of the wound is palpable, and the vacancy it creates is felt deeply by the singer. There is a palpable stillness in this space, suggested by the line "Silence is steady." The pain of wanting the lost love back is acute, manifested physically in the singer's aching arms. And yet, there is a sense of resignation, a recognition that it's time to move on. The fire left by the lost love slowly dims, and the singer realizes that it's time for them to leave too. But even as they move on, it's clear that the lost love will always be the singer's antidote - a source of healing and comfort that they will never forget.

Literally mechanically and biologically modified to be the ultimate combine soldier, yet he can't climb a simple container 💀

Yeah, the other endings are rather depressing.

@LazyManHobbies Wilson Ending. I don't think that one's too depressing. Of course, it's the only one I got so I don't have much to compare it to :|
Pilot_master
@SlamsunI mean, you're needlessly tortured by a combine advisor until Wilson saves you, but then again that’s not exactly depressing as both you and Wilson survive.

Rebels used curiosity to their advantage

That's some effort on a new level, leaving an unsuspected container just to get you stuck...
