Requiem
N.M.U. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fill my empty home, make me grow old, make me believe I will breathe again
Just paint up those walls, underneath those scars it?s just a child that is so scared
While rain pours down, I hear the sound of a thousand bells ringing your name to me
We had it all, we fought the fall, and we?re chasing dreams wishing they set us free

All my reasons seem to fail
Put my life back on the trails
Everything is said and done, baby can I get undone?

Let me blind so I can't see
Our lives fading into a mystery
All we used to believe
Are far gone driven by the wind

Are you faking too? Willing to do a sacrifice instead of try again
But I don't blame you, I feel the same way too, when we were young we used to be so brave
Years gone by, miles away apart, but I still feel when you whisper my name
We had to walk, with no one else to talk, sailing away searching a new destiny

Time don?t fix the mess we made
All we break will still remain
Part of what we are today, every day I sing again

All is lost not to be found
Buried deep underground
But my faith says we will find again
When this day comes we will be back again

This is just a requiem
Our love was eaten up by sand
Maybe he reincarnates
On different bodies, but the same

Years goes by, our time is gone
Different paths on our own

Maybe they will turn someday
Into a road to Jerusalem

Overall Meaning

The song "Requiem" by N.M.U. is about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer of the song is left alone in their empty home, wondering if they will ever find love again. They ask their ex-partner to fill the emptiness of their home and make them believe in love again. The scars on their walls represent the scars on their hearts, scars that will not heal easily. The rains represent the tears they have shed over the relationship that has ended. In the past, they had everything together, and they fought to keep it that way. However, they could not keep up with the challenges of the relationship anymore, and now they only have their memories and their broken hearts.

In the second verse, the singer is asking to be blind, so they don't have to see their life fading away. They want to forget all the beliefs they had before the relationship ended. They wonder if their ex-partner is faking it, pretending not to care about the relationship. They remember how brave they were when they were young, but now they just sail away, searching for a new destiny. The lyrics suggest that they don't blame their ex-partner as they feel the same way too. The chorus explains how they have lost everything they had and how the love they once shared is now buried underground. They still believe in finding love someday again.
