Farewell
Pik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a proud bird
You faced the problems of your days
Which cut scars deep inside
While the way of your life
Your aims were maybe quite in reach
Dreams which grind winds
Wrapped with the warmth of memories
In a murderous fight with demon cancer
Which insolently has broken inside
But you do not bow
In spite of inflicted wounds
When death knocks on your door
Invites you to unknown ways
When death stands at your door
You raise up your hand and proudly live
The lyrics of Pik's song Farewell depict the strength and resilience of an individual faced with the unimaginable horrors of terminal illness. The opening lines "Already yesterday, like a proud bird" capture the contrast between the fleeting nature of life and the unwavering determination of the subject. The use of the metaphor of a bird paints a vivid picture of a proud and untouchable creature, yet even the strongest of beings can be brought down by life's struggles.
The following lines "Which cut scars deep inside" explore the emotional implications of illness and the toll it takes on those around us. The reference to the "way of your life" and "dreams which grind winds" highlights the challenges we face in achieving the things that truly matter to us. The lyrics then shift to memories, portraying them as a beacon of light amidst the darkness.
Line by Line Meaning
Already yesterday
The past is now behind us
Like a proud bird
Facing problems with bravery and courage
You faced the problems of your days
You confronted issues with strength
Which cut scars deep inside
The challenges caused emotional damage
While the way of your life
Throughout your lifetime
Your aims were maybe quite in reach
You came close to achieving your goals
Dreams which grind winds
Aspirations that are affected by the circumstances
Wrapped with the warmth of memories
Fond memories that provide comfort
Drifting somewhere
Lost in thought and reflection
In a murderous fight with demon cancer
Fighting against a deadly illness
Which insolently has broken inside
The cancer has invaded the body
But you do not bow
You refuse to give in to the disease
In spite of inflicted wounds
Despite being hurt by the illness
When death knocks on your door
When it is time for you to pass on
Invites you to unknown ways
Death is the beginning of a new journey
When death stands at your door
The final moments of life
You raise up your hand and proudly live
You face death with courage and dignity
