The Gate
Me and the Rest Lyrics

Reverend, reverend
Addressing the person of a position, enquiring about a possible plot

Is this some conspiracy?
Asking if something suspicious is happening behind the scenes

Crucified for no sins
Being punished unfairly, as if for a crime never committed

An image beneath me
Feeling like one is superior, looking down at others

What's within our plans for life?
Wondering about the purpose, meaning of life goals

It all seems so unreal
Everything feels like it is not really happening

I'm a man cut in half in this world
Feeling incomplete, not able to fit in this world

Left in my misery
Feeling subjected to great unhappiness

The reverend he turned to me
The addressed person looks back, focusing their attention

Without a tear in his eyes
Not showing any emotional response outwardly

It's nothing new for him to see
The situation being witnessed has been encountered many times before

I didn't ask him why
Choosing not to question further and accept what is being said

I will remember
Promising to commit to memory

The love our souls had
The deep emotional connection they shared

Sworn to make
Making a solemn pledge

Now I watch the falling rain
Observing rain without being moved by it

All my mind can see
Only one image occupies one's thoughts

Now is your (face)
Thinking only of the image of a person

Well I guess
Admitting defeat

You took my youth
The act of taking away one's vitality, innocence

I gave it all away
Sacrificing everything for someone else

Like the birth of a
Similarity to the beginning of something beautiful

New-found joy
The happiness of discovering something new

This love would end in rage
The possible result of love ending in bitterness

And when she died
The moment of death for a female figure

I couldn't cry
The inability to shed tears in that situation

The pride within my soul
The feeling of self-respect deep in one's being

You left me incomplete
The other person being the reason for one's incompletion

All alone as the
Being completely by oneself

Memories now unfold.
Recalling all the events that have transpired

Believe the word
Having faith in what is being said

I will unlock my door
Opening oneself up to new experiences

And pass the Cemetery Gates
Moving on from the past and into the present

Sometimes when I'm alone
At times where one is by themselves

I wonder aloud
Asking themselves out loud

If you're watching over me
Asking if someone else is looking over them

Some place far abound
Somewhere further away than imagined

I must reverse my life
Changing the course of one's life

I can't live in the past
Unable to keep dwelling on the events of the past

Then set my soul free
Releasing the soul from any lingering distress

Belong to me at last
Finally owning something that is rightfully one's own

Through all those
Throughout a long period of time

Complex years
Difficult, intricate years

I thought I was alone
Having felt that no one else was with them

I didn't care to look around
Not taking the time to observe around them

And make this world my own
Taking control, becoming the master of their own world

And when she died
The moment of death for a female figure

I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
Looking back and realizing that one should've released their emotion instead of suppressing it

Left me incomplete
The other person being the reason for one's incompletion

All alone as the memories still remain
On their own while their past still haunts them

The way we were
The manner in which they used to be

The chance to save my soul
The opportunity to regain a sense of self-worth and identity

And my concern is now in vain
Worrying about something and then realizing that it wasn't worth the trouble

Believe the word
Having faith in what is being said

I will unlock my door
Opening oneself up to new experiences

And pass the Cemetery Gates
Moving on from the past and into the present
