Epilogue
Vazard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am

I am

I am, yet what I am none cares or knows
I am the self-consumer of my woes
They rise and vanish in oblivious host
Like shadows in love's frenzied stifled throes
And yet I am, and live, like vapours tossed
Into the nothingness of scorn and noise





Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
The grass below, above the vaulted sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vazard's song Epilogue are actually a poetic interpretation of a passage from John Clare's Autobiographical Poem. The passage speaks to the idea that one's existence is "unnoticed" and "unimportant" in the grand scheme of things, but also acknowledges the power of one's own emotions and personal struggles. The "self-consumer of my woes" line speaks to the idea that we can sometimes be our own worst enemies, and that our internal demons can often feel insurmountable.


The verses also reference the idea of being "untroubling and untroubled" which serves to illustrate the sense of calm and peace that can come with acceptance of one's place in the world. The final line, "the grass below, above the vaulted sky" further emphasizes the sense of peacefulness and calmness that comes with letting go of concerns about one's own significance in the world.


Overall, the lyrics to Epilogue are deeply introspective and meditative, offering a glimpse into the artist's own sense of self, and inviting the listener to reflect on their own experiences with feelings of insignificance and the struggle for inner peace.


Line by Line Meaning

I am
I exist


I am, yet what I am none cares or knows
I exist, but no one cares or understands my existence


I am the self-consumer of my woes
I am the one who consumes and suffers from my own problems


They rise and vanish in oblivious host
My problems come and go without anyone noticing


Like shadows in love's frenzied stifled throes
My problems are like shadows in the midst of an intense and suppressed passion


And yet I am, and live, like vapours tossed
Despite my problems, I continue to exist and live, like vapors blown around


Into the nothingness of scorn and noise
My existence feels meaningless and insignificant amidst the ridicule and commotion of the world


Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
But I find peace and tranquility where I am


The grass below, above the vaulted sky
In the embrace of nature, with grass beneath me and the vast sky above me
