death bed
Gatherer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where my heart and my soul can keep up with my mind.
All that I feel drains out of me,
everything is tangible but still so out of reach.
Do you regret the time you've spent looking for words to save?
All the days I've spent with you,
you know I need them more than anything.
I know the day will start and sun will set with or without you here.
Old, and in my arms you'll always be.
I'm a bed for your bones;
chariot for your broken dreams.
No, you're more than life should offer me.
I am trapped in myself,
prisoner to what this world brings for me.
Old; in my arms you'll always be.
I'm a bed for your bones;
chariot for your broken dreams.
When you're on your death bed, who will be there?
All the words you sang to me linger through eternity.
When you're on your death bed, who will be there?
All the words you say.
All the words about fate that may come and sweep you away.
When you're on your death bed, who will be there?
All the words you sang to me linger through eternity.
When you're on your death bed, who will be there?
In "Death Bed," Gatherer explores the intersection of the mind, heart, and soul, and the way these elements interact with the tangible world. The singer is searching for a point where all three can exist in harmony, but struggles to find it, feeling drained of emotion and disconnected from reality. The lyrics imply a sense of regret at having spent so much time searching for meaning and purpose, yet still needing the company and presence of others. The chorus emphasizes the idea of being a bed for someone's bones and a chariot for their broken dreams, both stark metaphors for the fleeting nature of life and the desire for connection and meaning.
