For My Dearly Departed
Franco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like my world is caving in
I won't break down this time
I'll be fine
With dull dimension speaking of the truth
And howls of chaos the bleeding of the moon
Rounding up this time
Let your love caress me
Like the tide embraces the sea
Let our soul connection
Bring me alive today
Am I lost and can be found
Heaven's locked, hell not a sound
All my angels left and gone
It rains down
Turn the key enough for rescue
And burn the light
The light that burns through
But here it comes again
It rains down
Well live your life a little
Breathe in and out a little
I say a prayer for you
Let your love caress me
Like the tide embraces the sea
Let our soul connection
Bring me alive today
The lyrics of Franco's song "For My Dearly Departed" speak of the difficult process of dealing with loss and grief, and finding a way to move forward despite the pain. The first verse sets the scene of waking up to a world that seems to be falling apart, but the singer vows to soldier on this time and be "fine." The second verse uses powerful, vivid imagery to describe the intense emotions that can come with grief: the "dull dimension" of truth, the "howls of chaos," and the "bleeding of the moon." Despite this, the singer affirms that they will push through and be okay.
The chorus is a cry for comfort and connection in the face of loss. The singer asks for their loved one's love to "caress" them and for their "soul connection" to bring them back to life. The bridge explores the feeling of being lost and alone, with only the rain as a constant reminder of the pain. However, the singer also acknowledges the possibility of rescue and salvation, urging themselves to "turn the key" and "burn the light." The chorus repeats, reinforcing the need for love and connection in times of grief.
Overall, "For My Dearly Departed" is a haunting and deeply emotional reflection on the pain of loss, and the hope that can be found in love and connection.

When I wake up it seems
Upon waking up, it appears to me
Like my world is caving in
That everything is crashing down
I won't break down this time
But I won't succumb to my emotions this time
I'll be fine
I will pull through
With dull dimension speaking of the truth
A drab existence speaking of reality
And howls of chaos the bleeding of the moon
While the chaos erupts in every corner of the earth
Rounding up this time
This time around
I'll be fine
I will pull through
Let your love caress me
May your love embrace me
Like the tide embraces the sea
Just like the ocean's tide holds the sea
Let our soul connection
May the connection of our souls
Bring me alive today
Allow me to feel alive today
Am I lost and can be found
Am I missing and can be discovered
Heaven's locked, hell not a sound
Heaven is unavailable, and from hell, there's no noise
All my angels left and gone
All the heavenly beings have departed
It rains down
Everything comes falling apart
Turn the key enough for rescue
Rescue me by turning the key
And burn the light
And pierce through the darkness with light
The light that burns through
The light that illuminates everything
But here it comes again
But things are happening again
It rains down
Everything comes falling apart
Well live your life a little
Live your life, enjoy a little bit
Breathe in and out a little
Take a moment to breathe in and out
I say a prayer for you
I'm praying for you
Let your love caress me
May your love embrace me
Like the tide embraces the sea
Just like the ocean's tide holds the sea
Let our soul connection
May the connection of our souls
Bring me alive today
Allow me to feel alive today
