Mortal Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not gonna feel anymore
I am dead, please bury me, I am dead
Our relation-creation of dark passion
I am forever subdued and tranquilized
Your desertion-converting from my eyes
This sensation-frustrations of simplified minds
My dreams they die as they lie on the naked floor
This dimension-ascension to sullen despair
Your eyes they lie as we cry to the tired sky
The lyrics of "Existence" by Mortal Love depict the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is emotionally dead after enduring the pain of a breakup. They express a desire to be buried and forgotten, indicating a wish for oblivion rather than continuing to suffer. The relationship is described as a "creation of dark passion" implying that there may have been a degree of unhealthy obsession or fixation involved. The use of words like "tranquilized" and "subdued" suggest that the singer is struggling to cope with the emotional fallout of the relationship.
The second verse addresses the impact of the breakup on the singer's life, describing a sense of frustration and hopelessness, as well as the loss of their dreams. The line "My feelings caught in your jar like fireflies" suggests that the singer's emotions have been captured and held captive by the other person, while they themselves are left confined to a small, dark space. The final line of the verse becomes even more despondent as the singer describes a sense of sullen despair and their eyes lying as they cry out to the sky with no hope of being heard or understood.
