My Requiem
Trees Of Eternity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blistering, so bright
Re-align my core
Lenses open wide
Coming into form
The imprint of a life
Too late you're calling out my name
Alive in memory I'll stay
If you shun these waters where I lay
Night
Curtains coming down
Into the shade I stray
Losing all I've found
To my own dismay
My season has come to an end
Too late you're calling out my name
To raise me up out of my grave
Alive in memory I'll stay
If you shun these waters where I lay
Leave me to rest
Too drained to rise
To try to detect
Any light at the end of the tunnel...
Too late...
These lyrics are reflecting on the themes of life, death, memory, and legacy. The first stanza begins with the image of light, describing it as "blistering" and "so bright." The singer is asking for the light to "re-align" their core and for their lenses to open wide, implying a desire for clarity and understanding. They end the stanza by acknowledging the imprint of a life, suggesting that the brightness of the light may have made them aware of their own mortality and the impact they will leave behind.
The second stanza shifts to a darker tone, with night falling and curtains coming down. The singer is losing all they've found, and their "season has come to an end." They again reflect on the idea of being called out of their grave, but it's too late for that. They suggest that their only chance of staying alive in memory is if those who knew them don't turn away from the place where they are buried.
