Envy Us
Pantheist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why these mortals don't envy us
In silence and peace we rest, but we don't exist
We have so many things in common
Why are they afraid of us? We can't understand
Our lives are over, theirs have no meaning
What have they got that we don't have?
Beautiful is our realm
Our kingdom no one can resist
In solitude's eternal bliss
Together we shall not exist
The lyrics to Pantheist's song Envy Us delve into the theme of death and the afterlife and the stark difference between those who are alive and those who are dead. The dead cannot understand why the living don't envy them, as they rest in peace and silence. The dead recognize the similarities they share with the living, yet they cannot understand why the latter are afraid of them. The dead's lives are over, while the living's existence seems mundane and pointless.
The lyrics also describe the beauty and inviolable nature of the afterlife, explaining that it is a realm where no one can resist and where loneliness is infinite bliss. The last line suggests that the dead are "together," yet they don't exist, which is a stark contrast to the living who exist but are ultimately alone. Overall, the lyrics place emphasis on the importance of cherishing life and making the most of the time we have.

Also the song has a bit of Beethoven's symphony 7 at 2:15, great song and great band. Haven't listened to this in a long time.

+Marauder Cro (Mesarko) And the beginning resembles one of Chopin's works as well. :)
@FindalfLorien
It doesn't just resemble it.. it's completely borrowed Chopin's Prelude Op28 No20 in C minor
