Eulogy
The Flatliners Lyrics

The sun shows no mercy this morning
The morning is harsh and cruel, as if even the sun itself is unwilling to offer any solace or sympathy.

I'm staring thin-eyed as the rolling ground comes to a halt
With tired eyes, the singer watches helplessly as the world seems to stop turning due to the overwhelming grief they're experiencing.

A heart once close has stopped beating
Someone dear to the singer has passed away, leaving them to deal with the pain of loss and absence.

But its memory lives forever
Even though the person is gone, their impact on the artist's life and the love they shared will continue to endure and be remembered.

And your blurry eyes will make some sense of this
Despite the confusion, shock and sadness caused by this tragedy, eventually the situation will become clear and understanding will be found to provide a sense of peace.

You will always be remembered
The person who passed will be cherished and not forgotten, remaining a vital part of the lives of those they touched.

You will be celebrated
The singer and others will honor and extol the virtues and accomplishments of the deceased person, remembering them with joy rather than only sadness and mourning.

These tears still haven't faded
Even though time may pass, the deep emotions and sorrow caused by this loss will not easily diminish or disappear.

I feel I'm awake today with this memory that was once misplaced
The artist has a newfound awareness and sense of being connected to the person who passed, having previously not fully appreciated or realized their significance in their life.

And I never thought I'd live to see this overpouring sadness
The intensity and volume of grief currently being experienced is vastly beyond what the artist could have imagined, and they feel overwhelmed by its enormity.

Our eyes wide, receptive
Everyone who was touched by the person who passed is acutely aware of their absence and their impact on their lives, making them receptive to any consolation or support that may be offered.

A family without a face learns that hands around them will help give direction
The community of people affected by this loss come together to comfort and support one another, even those who may not have been related to the deceased or known the person personally.

and our mourning hearts will skip a beat at every single mention
Even though the person is gone, hearing their name or being reminded of them will always cause pain and stir up fresh feelings of grief and loss.

You will not be forgotten
The singer and others are determined to remember and cherish the person who passed, keeping their memory alive and present.

And we will sing
As a way of expressing their love and reverence, the singer and others will join together in song to celebrate the life of the person who passed.

You're not lost, you're not lost
A declaration that the person who passed has not disappeared forever, as their legacy and influence will always be present in the lives of those who knew and loved them.

You're watching over us
The artist believes that the person who passed is now a guardian angel or spiritual presence watching over those left behind, providing comfort and guidance.

Oh just listen to these words we're screaming out
The intense emotions and sense of love felt by the singer and others are so strong they feel as though they are being shouted or sung loudly to the heavens themselves.

Oh god, it's gotten so loud now
The intensity of the emotions being felt has grown so strong that it feels as though they are overwhelming and deafening, drowning out everything else that might be happening around them.

You will never be forgotten
A reaffirmation of the idea that the person who passed will always be remembered and cherished by those who loved them.

You will always be remembered
The final line of the song repeats the central idea that the person who passed will always hold an important place in the lives of those who knew and loved them.
