Cathedral
Kerbera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a man today,
Whether than low now,
Standing so low by the bus stop.
Big old coat on,
Hat and gloves both gray so,
That he wouldn't stand out too much.

Too much

I saw a man today,
Whether than low now.
Standing so low by the bus stop.
Big old coat on,
Hat and gloves both gray so,
That he wouldn't stand out too much.

Feel the heart right through my breath,
I'm alive with every beat.
Stuck among the memories,
Living through the melodies,
Eternity doesn't seem too far away.

I saw a man today,
Seeing generations come,
And generations go.
I felt the solitude,
All by living the ones you love,
And be forgotten by the ones you brought into this world.

Make goddamn sure I will,
Leave behind a thing or two to remember,
With my name on it.
A thing or two to remember!

Feel the heart right through my breath,
I'm alive with every beat.
Stuck among the memories,
Living through the melodies,




Eternity doesn't seem too far away.
It's not that far away!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kerbera's song "Cathedral" reveal an introspective moment in the life of the singer, who reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of leaving a legacy. The song starts with an observation of a man who is dressed humbly, trying not to stand out too much. This image seems to evoke the transience of human existence, as if the man is an embodiment of the passing of time. The singer then contemplates the beating of her heart and the way music helps her to transcend time and connect with memories and emotions. The chorus emphasizes the desire to leave something behind, a tangible legacy that will ensure that her name and memory live on after she is gone. The song thus becomes a meditation on mortality and the urge to find meaning and purpose in life.
