Fragments of the Hereafter
Myriads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coldness is gripping me and my soul
Tears apart images of life
Will I travel beyond the astral light?
/
Shadows covering me
Far beyond where no one can be
That way - far away
Silent sleeping
From the inner sanctum of our souls
Silence tears apart what is to come
Frozen images set in stone
Deceit of the realm which we know
Halls of sorrow, pity and grief
Mourning alone and beyond belief
Cold grasp tightens around our necks
Death rises, fulfills our lust for peace
Through the mist striving to
Keep the mind clear from scars
Overwhelmed by nature's true reality
Lays waste my own integrity: disillusioned
/
My restless mind
Rumbling like falling stones
From wild to paralysed
I am touching my buried emotions
Coldly and mistly
From the inner sanctum of our souls
Silence tears apart what is to come
Frozen images set in stone
Deceit of the realm which we know
Halls of sorrow, pity and grief
Mourning alone and beyond belief
Cold grasp tightens around our necks
Death rises, fulfills our lust for peace
Sinking into darkness
Hidden illusions of death and what is hereafter
/
I am in an air of mystery
Aims of death fulfill entirely
Our consciousness melts into ourselves
Colossal wind and rain fortifies
My own senses, visualize what is within
Striving to know the incomprehensible
Moulding a true belief
/
Rays of frozen light
Fossilize my curious mind
Evince what is within
Dead pulses in loneliness
Unveiling the secrets
From the inner sanctum of our souls
Silence tears apart what is to come
Frozen images set in stone
Deceit of the realm which we know
Halls of sorrow, pity and grief
Mourning alone and beyond belief
Cold grasp tightens around our necks
Death rises, fulfills our lust for peace
Fulfills our lust for peace
The lyrics to Myriads's song Fragments of the Hereafter exude a feeling of melancholy and contemplation surrounding the concept of death and the afterlife. The first stanza alone speaks of despair and uncertainty, with the singer wondering if they will travel beyond the astral light. This sense of confusion and ambiguity is echoed throughout the rest of the lyrics, as the singer grapples with the unknown and tries to make sense of their own mortality.
The second stanza delves deeper into these thoughts, with descriptions of the "inner sanctum of our souls" and the "deceit of the realm which we know." Here, the singer seems to be questioning their own beliefs and the illusions that we create as a society to convince ourselves that death isn't something to be feared. The line, "Death rises, fulfills our lust for peace" seems to imply that we ultimately crave the finality of death as a way to end our struggles and find true peace.
The final stanza brings the song full circle, with the singer sinking into darkness and contemplating the mysteries of the afterlife. Despite the fear and uncertainty that death brings, there is also a sense of curiosity and wonder that permeates the lyrics. Ultimately, the song seems to be a meditation on the duality of life and death, and the fragility of our existence in the face of the unknown.

Rays of lights streaming in over me
I see the light shining over me
Coldness is gripping me and my soul
I feel the chill in my body and soul
Tears apart images of life
It shatters the perception I have of life
Will I travel beyond the astral light?
Am I going beyond the light into the unknown?
Shadows covering me
I'm enveloped in darkness
Far beyond where no one can be
It's a place where no one else can go
That way - far away
It's a distant path that lies ahead
Dead pulses in loneliness
Lifeless heartbeats in isolation
Silent sleeping
Peaceful rest in quietness
From the inner sanctum of our souls
From the depths of our being
Silence tears apart what is to come
The quietness reveals what the future holds
Frozen images set in stone
Memories that are permanently etched in our minds
Deceit of the realm which we know
Falsehoods in the world we live in
Halls of sorrow, pity and grief
Places where sadness and despair reside
Mourning alone and beyond belief
Grieving in isolation and disbelief
Cold grasp tightens around our necks
Fear gripping us tightly
Death rises, fulfills our lust for peace
Passing away brings us the peace we long for
Through the mist striving to
Trying hard to see through the fog
Keep the mind clear from scars
Preventing the scars from affecting our thoughts
Overwhelmed by nature's true reality
In awe of the true nature of the world
Lays waste my own integrity: disillusioned
My values and beliefs have been shattered, leaving me disillusioned
My restless mind
My mind in constant turmoil
Rumbling like falling stones
Noisy and chaotic like falling rocks
From wild to paralysed
From uncontrolled to motionless
I am touching my buried emotions
I am confronting my repressed feelings
Coldly and mistly
In a detached and foggy state
Sinking into darkness
Descending into blackness
Hidden illusions of death and what is hereafter
The obscured illusions of death and the afterlife
I am in an air of mystery
I am surrounded by an atmosphere of secrecy
Aims of death fulfill entirely
The purpose of death is fully realized
Our consciousness melts into ourselves
Our awareness dissolves within us
Colossal wind and rain fortifies
Powerful wind and rain strengthen us
My own senses, visualize what is within
My senses perceive what lies inside
Striving to know the incomprehensible
Trying hard to understand what cannot be understood
Moulding a true belief
Forming a genuine faith
Rays of frozen light
Piercing beams of cold light
Fossilize my curious mind
I am paralyzed by my inquisitive mind
Evince what is within
Reveal what lies inside
Unveiling the secrets
Revealing the hidden truths
Fulfills our lust for peace
Satisfies our desire for tranquility
