Last Breath
Palefire Lyrics

A season to change surroundings
A time has come to change my surroundings and seek a new environment.

A season to encircle my mind
This same time also presents an opportunity to reflect inward and address my thoughts.

Last breath drawn in time
I am at the end of my life and will soon take my final breath.

To end another life,It is mine
But by dying, I also bring an end to a different aspect of my life that has been causing me pain or suffering.

The shadows fall around me
As I approach death, darkness and uncertainty surround me.

A signal to realize
However, this darkness can also serve as a signal or reminder to appreciate life before it's too late.

What is dying
I am not sure what is truly dying in my life, whether it's my physical body or something more emotional/psychological.

What is beginning
But perhaps there is also an opportunity for something new and fresh to begin in my life.

The sun will reign
Despite the darkness and uncertainty of death, the sun and light will eventually return and dominate again.

When it falls down
But first the sun must set, and darkness must reign for a time.

The clouds crash
The heavens themselves also respond to this cycle, the clouds crashing and releasing their contents to be reborn anew.

To the sea it’ll drown
Water is a symbol of life and purification, and the ocean is a place of immense depth and mystery.

What makes me feel so damned
I am perhaps struggling with feelings of guilt and self-condemnation, unsure of what has led me to this point.

Why do I feel so damned
I may even question why I am facing this path of suffering and turmoil.

I sank too deep into my desires
Perhaps I have allowed my own selfish wants and needs to dominate my life, leading to my current state of despair.

And forgot to put out the fire, the fire, the fire
I failed to take proper care of the passions or addictions that drove me, causing them to consume me like an uncontrolled blaze.

I will cry myself to heaven
Despite the tumultuous path ahead, I will continue to seek growth and purification of my soul.

I will sing my way to hell
Or perhaps I may allow myself to fall deeper into despair, finding solace in self-destructive behaviors.

I’ll find this life another home
Ultimately, I may find that the struggles and challenges of this life lead me to a new understanding or place of peace.

Before this bridge is gone
But I must be careful not to let this opportunity slip away entirely, as the chance to cross to something new may soon disappear forever.

I’ll smile my tears away
I will try my best to remain positive and find joy in difficult circumstances whenever possible.

I’ll sing my guilt away
Music and creative expression may provide an outlet for the guilt and pain that I feel inside, allowing me to work through these emotions.

I’ll sing my nightmares to sleep
Similarly, I may find solace in singing or playing music before sleep, helping to calm my mind and ease anxious thoughts.

I’ll laugh my regrets so deep
I will learn to laugh at my mistakes and regrets, acknowledging that they are a necessary part of growth and maturity.

I’ll smile tears away
Once more, I will try to find a positive outlook and hopeful attitude, even in the face of sorrow and pain.

I’ll sing my guilt away
Music and creative expression may continue to serve as powerful tools for healing and growth, allowing me to work through these difficult emotions.

I’ll smile my tears away
Once more, I will try to maintain a positive outlook despite the challenges that lie ahead.

I sank too deep into my desires to
Once more, I acknowledge that my own selfish desires and wants may have played a role in the situation that I am now facing.

And forgot to put out the fire, the fire, the fire
I allowed these desires and passions to consume me like a raging fire, forgetting to control or contain them before it was too late.
