Goodnight Travel Well
The Killers攀 Lyrics

The unknown distance to the great beyond
The vastness of death and the afterlife loom over me, with no clear understanding of what lies ahead.

Stares back at my grieving frame
Death confronts me and brings intense sorrow and grief to my soul.

To cast my shadow by the holy sun
The power of the heavens is upon me, evoking a spiritual experience and a sense of being in the presence of something divine.

My spirit moans with a sacred pain
The grief and pain I feel is not just deep, it is profound and holy, as it reflects my connection to the universe and the eternal.

And it's quiet now
Death brings silence and calmness, and a sense of the universe pausing to acknowledge the passing of a soul.

The universe is standing still
In the face of death, the vast universe itself seems to pause, creating a stillness that reflects the gravity and magnitude of the moment.

There's nothing I can say
Words cannot express the depth of my sadness, nor can they change what has happened or what is to come.

There's nothing we can do now
No action or effort can reverse the passage of time or the inevitability of death.

And all that stands between the souls release
Death is the final barrier that stands between the soul and the afterlife, a temporary barrier in the cycle of life.

This temporary flesh and bone
The physical body is a temporary vessel for the soul, and is ultimately left behind when the soul passes into the next realm.

We know that it's over now
Despite our grief and fear, we know that death is a natural and inevitable part of life, and that it marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another.

I feel my faded mind begin to roam
As I confront the reality of death, my thoughts become scattered and uncertain, as if my mind is losing its grip on the physical world.

Every time you fall
Every setback or disappointment in life feels like a little death, a reminder of the fleeting nature of our time on earth.

And every time you try
Even though we know that our efforts and achievements are ultimately temporary, we continue to strive, to create, and to put our mark on the world.

Every foolish dream
Sometimes we pursue ambitions that are unrealistic or unlikely to come to fruition, but they still shape and define our lives.

And every compromise
We make sacrifices and concessions for the sake of our relationships, careers, and other aspects of our lives, even though they may cost us something of ourselves.

Every word you spoke
The words we say to others, whether they are spoken in kindness, anger, or sorrow, have an impact on our lives and the lives of others around us.

And everything you said
Our words and our actions leave a mark on the world, shaping the memories and impressions that others have of us when we are gone.

Everything you left me, rambles in my head
All the memories, feelings, and experiences that we share with others become a part of us when they pass, and we are left to navigate the aftermath of their death with those memories still echoing in our minds.

Up above the world so high
As we confront the reality of death and the vastness of the universe, we feel small and insignificant, like tiny specks of dust in an infinite cosmos.

And everything you loved
The things that brought us joy and meaning in life are just as impermanent and fleeting as we are, and we must allow ourselves to feel the pain of losing them.

And every time you try
Like the futile efforts to stave off death, the fact that our dreams and passions are ultimately limited is no reason to give up on them altogether.

Everybody's watching
Even as we face loss and sorrow, we are not alone in our experience, and others are there to offer comfort and support in our time of need.

Everybody cry
The pain and grief that loss brings is universal and unifying, a shared emotional experience that can bring people closer together and create a community of mutual understanding.

Stay, don't leave me
Even in the face of loss and death, we cling to the people and relationships that give us comfort and purpose in life.

The stars can't for your sign
The universe operates on its own time and according to its own rules, beyond human control or understanding.

Don't signal now
In the face of cherished people passing away, we wish they can remain with us forever, but knowing that's impossible, we postpone those signals of goodbye for as long as possible.

Goodnight, travel well
As we say goodbye to loved ones who have passed, we wish them farewell on their journey to the next realm or beyond, hoping they travel without any struggle.

And there's nothing I can say
Sometimes there are no words to express the depth of our grief or the extent of our love for those who have passed, and we must simply learn to live with that pain and loss.
