Inertia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will follow you with all of my heart
The scattering of ashes has begun
These remnants of disease my mortal sin and so forever banished from the sun
Where new life was once promised to begin
My journey to be paved into my soul
Untwining my perception seeking truth
Obtaining missing links to become whole ascending far beyond blood bone and truth
As time held your hand
Tempting your grace
Watching your beauty diminish in all is far to cruel for my frail heart to take
So soul determined question me not why when living ladder years has lead despair
Lassitudes of life have not eased with time appeased by only 2 coins for his fair
To save my soul betwixing in this cell Transcend my mortal beauty asphodel
I will follow you into the dark
I will follow you with all of my heart
The lyrics in Inertia's song "Asphodels" depict a solemn and poignant journey towards acceptance of mortality. The longing to follow the departed loved one into the dark represents a desire to reunite with the person who has passed on. The scattered ashes that are left behind after the funeral are seen as remnants of a disease, which is interpreted as a kind of metaphor for the human condition. The human body is ultimately subject to decay, disease, and death, and this is seen as a "mortal sin" that results in being forever banished from the sun.
The singer's journey towards acceptance of mortality and the quest to find meaning in life is described in the lyrics. The journey is not physical, but rather it is one of self-discovery and conscious self-awareness. The lyrics suggest that the truth is out there and that it can be found by "untwining perception" and "obtaining missing links." This journey towards truth is seen as a way to "become whole" and to ascend "far beyond blood bone and truth."
The heartbreaking experience of watching a loved one die and fade away is also depicted in the lyrics. The singer watches as the person withers away, succumbing to time and disease, and losing their beauty. The experience is too cruel for the singer's "frail heart to take." The lyrics suggest that the beauty of the human spirit transcends the body, and that even if the body diminishes in beauty, the soul endures. The singer seeks to save their own soul by transcending mortality and achieving a state of eternal beauty represented by the mythical Greek flower Asphodel.
